Sound: This guitar gave the sound i've been looking for. The tone is smooth and sweet. When using the neck pick-up it has a nice bluesy sound. It also crunches nice with distortion. Feature: This is my 5th guitar and when I went shopping for one I was looking for something with a stop-bar tailpeice, 2 volume, and 2 tone knobs. The 2 tone knobs really come is handy especially if you like to play different styles of music. The pick-ups are really good too. Whammy bar would have been nice. Quality: Awsome guitar, but the construction of the neck is kinda crappy. When I recieved mine, the neck was dirty, looked like six different pieces of wood thrown together. The fingerboard is nice, just the neck. As for the rest of the guitar, everything seems to be in great quality. Value: I tried out other guitars before purchasing this one and for the features, the look, and the sound quality, you can't beat the price. The Wow Factor: This is one sweet looking axe. The chrome against the black is really nice. The body is nice and smooth, and the color descibes it well...."liquid" black. Overall: I'm going to be using this guitar for a while. I read the reviews before I bought this guitar. And for the people who had really negative things to say about this guitar don't know what there talking about, come'on $150 bucks for this baby!! For them I don't think it's the guitar that sucks..it's the player!!!!

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: Very easy to tune, and the sound emitted from this piece of equipment is as perfect as the guitar itself. It's very easy to play and comfortable to use in just about any position; standing, sitting, laying down flat on the ground, whatever! It's comfortable. The guitar suits my taste and style, because I like both gothic and rock music. Without the amp, the guitar is still pretty loud. How the guitar fits in with other instruments, I can't really say, because it all depends on what you use. However, I do think it's best suited to either a heavy rock style or a soft dark tune. And as we all should know, live music always sounds better than a recording! Other equipment I'm currently using with this product include the amp that came with it, and the tuner. ^^ The picks, I don't like. They're too long and a bit flimsy. And I think headphones to fit the amp would be a nice addition. (I bought the red one! It's a bit darker than shown in the picture.) Feature: It comes with two packs of medium picks, a portable amp that isn't very heavy. It includes treble, bass, and volume nobs, and an overdrive button and nob to adjust just how much extra noise you want. ^^ Sounds pretty good if you know what you're playing lol. It also comes with an average-length cord and a pretty decent tuner, though I think you're better off buying your own. The tuner plays tones that help you tune the guitar, but it's not very helpful, actually...Long beeps and guitar sounds are very different things! And the picks are a bit long, so.. well of course get some that suit you. Lol. As for how I feel about the 'selection of components', well, I like 'em. ^^ Though I think it would've been nice if headphones with a big enough jack came with the package as well. Quality: It's made extremely well. Unless you intentionally buy a used one, it's pretty much perfect. The only thing loose when you get it are the strings, but then, all guitars are like that, I believe...So all you have to do is tune it. =) And if a string breaks, don't worry too much, cuz the package includes an extra set of strings. And if it breaks, then, either you've got it too tight or you were really slammin' on the guitar. You dork. lol. Value: I don't think it's really worth $400, because it could be better. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had any problems whatsoever. The guitar came a little later than I expected, but that's probably because I live in Texas. It's far away... o.O But anyway, I haven't had to contact anyone for any reason about the guitar. ^^ The Wow Factor: This is a guitar shape you don't see very often, so of course I love it! And it's red and black, which makes it a bit hard to match your outfit to it (if you intend to perform/show off in an outfit, that is.) As for me, I feel pretty cool just holding it in my hands and showing it off, especially since it adds to my own natural attractiveness. lol. No joke there! I'm being honest. This guitar will definately attract attention. Overall: This is a product I plan to keep for years. As my first guitar that I worked hard to save up for and buy myself, it's very special to me and I intend to wear it well. =) I don't think I'll be looking for a new guitar for at least another 8 months. No, this one will never be replaced. I'll find stuff to make this already great guitar even better. ^^ I bought this product instead of others that I looked at mainly because of how it looked, and I could afford it at the time. I'm extremely satisfied with it. This makes an excellent first guitar for anyone, I believe. If it were lost or stolen, it would truly suck, and yes, I would replace it. What I like most about it is how easy it is to tune, and what I like least is how heavy it is.

Sound: Very good deep sound(or at least i think so). Feature: If you get the combo it comes with everything you need to get started. Quality: Ive had it in my room for a couple months now and ive dropped it a time or two and it still does not have one scratch....and its black. Value: Very cheap ..... for the quality and the sound i would say this guitar can compete with some of the 300-400 dollar guitars. Manufacturer Support: Haven't called them yet but i can only imagine what they are like if their products are like this. The Wow Factor: It is a very nice guitar to stare at and show others, very nice paint. Overall: I think guitar will last forever and I am glad I saw this guitar and chose to buy it. I think this is the biggest bang for the buck guitar out, and it is a good guitar to play around with.

Sound: I own a vintage 69 Strat, and a Carvin, but wanted an inexpensive guitar with more bottom end. It can be a little muddy depending on the amp I use, but highly recommend it. Play mostly classic rock, and I'm now gigging with it as my main axe!!!!!!!! Feature: no accesories, but compared with other manufacturers I like having 2 tone & 2 vol. controls, and the mahogany body, unlike competition in same price range Quality: Gig with it, I don't bring a back up, the fret corners could be a little smoother Value: Best Bang for the Buck!!!! Manufacturer Support: Haven't delt with manufacturer, but ordered 1 and toggle switch didn't work. You guys had another to me the next day w/prepaid UPS voucher to return the 1st one. You guys have EXCELLENT service and support! The Wow Factor: Wine Red is gorgeous! Overall: Hope it never wears out, but I'd buy another in a second.

Silvertone Rockit 21 Customer Review submitted September 23, 2003

Overall

Back to Product Information

Sound: I have just rated this silvertone at 9 and not 10. I would have given it a full ten if the neck of this guitar had all the tunings on one side or the other. It has every thing i want on my silver tone. It has a four knobs for volume and tone tone tone lol and it also has a switch. OH ya if im not mistaken and I might be ...but are those humbuckers i see. Ps I bought a silvertone Sik 1 and almost traded in for a fender Highway 1 but I fell in love with my guitar and now I wouldnt trade it for silver. lol

Sound: I test played four models of Silvertone guitars. If you are wanting a cheap guitar to learn on go for it perhaps. If you intend to get on stage however, buy a better guitar. I found the sound to be too tinney. I would rather buy a used Bentley than a new Silvertone. Too me this guitar is just a toy. Ease of Use: Sounds like warmed over crap Quality: Wouldn't hold up to playing gigs. Value: The price is the only good thing about this guitar. Manufacturer Support: I never went that far with it. The Wow Factor: A pretty "wall hanger" LOL Overall: I wouldn't buy it in the first place. I would be embarrassed to take it on stage. If I had to use it during a gig, I would either break it on stage, or give it to some kid.

Back to Product Information

Sound: I highly recamend ZZound to anyone but I if were you I would not by this guitar I did and was very displeased with its quality. I wouldn't even recamend it to a beginer. It buzz's like crazzy and sound's horrible. Quality: not durable at all. after 20 sec. I discovered that the outer paint cover is very thin and will flake off and is way to easy to scratch. Value: though it is a low price there are a million better quality guitars out there. The Wow Factor: I have to say that this gutar looks beautiful but the sound makes this guitar a waste of time. Overall: I think I said it all above...
