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.)

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.

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.

I don't think it's really worth $400, because it could be better.

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. ^^

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.

Rock, goth-rock w/ a slight medieval sound, and partially influenced by my favorite Japanese rock band, Dir en grey! ^^

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

classic rock, blues, heavy metal, alternative

Very good deep sound(or at least i think so).

If you get the combo it comes with everything you need to get started.

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.

Very cheap ..... for the quality and the sound i would say this guitar can compete with some of the 300-400 dollar guitars.

Haven't called them yet but i can only imagine what they are like if their products are like this.

It is a very nice guitar to stare at and show others, very nice paint.

alternative, country, blues, and Santana!

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!!!!!!!!

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

Gig with it, I don't bring a back up, the fret corners could be a little smoother

Best Bang for the Buck!!!!

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!

Wine Red is gorgeous!

the sound is really choppy mine broke within 3 months not strings people the guitar was completely thrown off because i strummed haha its ridiculous

it came with picks and an amp thats ok and a crappy tuner and a strap that broke haha it completely snapped

it got me farther in my playing expirience but still not really the best thing

i was strumming and i had to play the 15th fret on the high E string and it gave me this...i dont know how to describe it, it was like someone put the pick between the strings like a ringing kinda sound it was weird all because i strummed i guess i never dropped it or anything

this is a 50 dollar guitar

never tried

its a nice LOOKING piece of equipment its just not good to play on

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.

Sounds like warmed over crap

Wouldn't hold up to playing gigs.

The price is the only good thing about this guitar.

I never went that far with it.

A pretty "wall hanger" LOL

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.

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.

though it is a low price there are a million better quality guitars out there.

I have to say that this gutar looks beautiful but the sound makes this guitar a waste of time.

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
