Sound: it doesnt sound bad..but it isnt a fender...it is a great sound for the price though and would recomend it for a beginner Feature: i dont use the whammy bar so i'd rather have a stop tail..but i just took it out and never use it and it works fine...the tuners are great for the price...strings dont ever fall to bad...and the pickups are fine..i switched mine out with fender vintage noiseless but it sounded fine with the PUs it came with and only hums a little Ease of Use: It plays pretty close to a standard strat and it's pretty easy to get out a nice sound....but it is a little hard to get the fastest of soloes on this Quality: it's quality is great except for the quarter inch output...it keeps coming loose so i have to take it out every week or so to tighten it...but other than that it's great Value: it's great for a beginner and you could probably even do a little gigging with this... but if you have the money get a fender standard strat...but if you are on a tight budget this is the way to go Manufacturer Support: never used it so i dont really know The Wow Factor: looks exactly like a fender except the head stock is shaped different Overall: For the most part i'm glad i got this guitar...it hasnt ever "let me down" but now i'm starting to buy upgrade parts for it so soon all that will be left is the body...but just to start out with and play on an electric is worth it

Back to Product Information
Sound: One tip: go to your local guitar shop and have them replace the wires that run in between the knobs, selector switch, and output jack. Within a year of owning this guitar, the original wires gave out and it started to sound awful or not play at all. After the wires were replaced and the guitar had a shop tune up (cost me $15,) this guitar sounds incredible, especially considering the price. I use it for my regular rehearsal guitar for jazz band practices and as a show guitar for some of the more rock and blues based tunes we do. This is also an excellent funk guitar. Keep the bass up and the treble down and use an amp with good punch. Feature: Has all the features you would want out of a guitar. Nothing over the top, but it has what you need to get a good range of sounds and characteristics. Ease of Use: I got this 4 years ago for Christmas as my first guitar. It was easy to pick up then, and still feels like a good guitar now. Quality: This is a very well crafted guitar minus the wires, which are crap. For the price, the value is unmatched. A comprably priced squier strat pales in comparison. Value: Incredible value. If you take care of this guitar, it will last you a long time and serve you well. Manufacturer Support: I've had no experience with the company. The Wow Factor: I've had a couple comments, but really it's just a generic "electric guitar-guitar" look. Overall: I also own a custom shop hollowbody guitar (about $600) for jazz and funk, and I use the Silvertone just as much.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Cheap pickups Feature: Neck is one the straightest I've ever seen. Quality: For an off shore item the quality is better than I expected. Value: A good starter guitar for very little money. Manufacturer Support: didn't need it. The Wow Factor: Except for name Silvertone, instead of "Fender" on the head piece, it's almost imposible to tell the difference by just looking at it. Overall: I'll most likely keep this as a backup, but the price was too good to pass up, and I really didn't think it would be as high quality as it turned out.

Musical Background: active musician
Music Style: punk and roots rock
Back to Product Information
Sound: Very brassy sound and can be a very squeaky pain to the ears(perfect for punk rock) and then you can switch your pickups and get a very full suttle sound for roots rock. HEAVY METAL SUCKS! Feature: There werent any accessories, but it is a great first guitar and i have used it at many gigs in the live music capital of the world. Everything in this guitar goes together to make a perfect sound and a terrible sound too. HEAVY METAL SUCKS! Quality: This guitar was great, however I lost the pickup changer knob about a month after I got it, but that didnt matter to me anyway. HEAVY METAL SUCKS! Value: This guitar is worth more than every penny you scrownge to buy it. HEAVY METAL SUCKS! Manufacturer Support: This guitar was so good i havent had any trouble with it so no experience with the support. HEAVY METAL SUCKS! The Wow Factor: This guitar is just great, however i am not sexually attracted to inanimate objects so, but it looks good, even when it chips. HEAVY METAL SUCKS! Overall: I will keep this guitar for years to come. HEAVY METAL SUCKS!

Sound: Sounds pretty good for a low cost no bull guitar.I dont use the whammy bar much because it throws it out of tune everytime I do.Other than that and oh yeah the output jack keeps coming loose.But yeah other than that it has held up just fine.I was playing on a spencer something or other and decided to paint it and messed up the electronics so I bought this.I liked the other neck(spencer neck was smoother)so I changed them.Had to drill new holes in the spencer neck but it works just fine with this guitar. Feature: Least useful feature was the whammy bar but hell some people like that kind of stuff.This guitar seems pretty solid.Ive takin it to a bunch of parties and havnt had it broken yet.Had a friend give it some trailor park pizzazz by drawing tribal crap all over the pick gaurd.I really like the way it looks. Ease of Use: The neck that came with it was nowhere near as smooth as my other guitars neck so I changed them.That being said Im sure with a tid bit of sandpaper someone could get the same type of feel.Dont get me wrong the original neck is very playable but I just prefered the other one. Quality: For 100 bucks it has held up like a champ.Sounds decent and feels great. Value: I'd say it is worth it.And hell Im poor. Manufacturer Support: Havnt needed them. The Wow Factor: The sunbust color is ok I guess.Not really into the whole looks thing.My friends havnt said anything bad about it.Had a few comments about they way it looks but the ones who comment about it probably dont know too much about instruments. Overall: Great guitar for the money.Buy it,steal it or borrow it and try it out.
