"If you're on a lower budget or a beginner, I would highly suggest this. The price is cheap just for the guitar itself."

Feature:
Keep in mind that I'm giving these scores for guitars in this price range. Features-wise, this is a dream.As I said with the sound, you can really customize the tone with both the guitars features and the amp. The amp peaks at 20 watts, getting more than loud enough for practicing in your room or basement. Obviously though you wouldn't be taking it too a show. They give you an extra set of strings as well, a tuner that's nothing great but is effecient enough, five picks, and cables..may want to get thicker, better ones though, as occasionally these will make my amp pick up radio signals...yeah. It's almost comical.

Quality:
I take this down one, as when I got this, there was a screw missing in one of my humbuckers, so distortion kind of meshed together..however this can be easily fixed. I'm sure this was obviously a slight shipping flaw though, so I can't blame the company.

Value:
for 220 bucks, it's a steal. Even compared to guitars in general, this is a really great guitar..the practice amp is pretty nice, and everything else does the justice. Just get some thicker cables..

Desirability:
Well I own it, but yeah..it's got a lot appeal

Sound:
The humbuckers, features, and overall architecture really give a unique, customizable tone. The two tone and two volume knobs are nice with customization..plus the overdrive is pretty damn good, actually..though a bit generic sounding. though you can tell with some better distortion or a pedal, it would be fantastic.

Support:
Never had to deal with them.

Overall:
I know I'll always keep this, and be using it as a main guitar for quite awhile.

Feature:
i have to give this a 5 bc the amp just had bass, volume, and gain on it. but what do you expect? its a beginners pack!

Quality:
again, its all for the guitar. the amp sucks. the guitar is built solid

Value:
worth it

Desirability:
this guitar is bangin :) the chrome and the yellow with the red.... wheww... this is niice

Sound:
the sound goes all to the guitar... not the amp. the amp deserves a 0. i have a marshall MG15DFX and this silvertone sounds mean. you can get s KILLER sweet chld o mine out of this

Ease of Use:
it plays VERY easy. ive been playing for a year on it and ive already got the Crazy Train solo down

Overall:
id just say if you can get this guitar by itself, buy it alone. the amp sucks, the "padded" gig bag wasnt padded. all it really is is just a nylon bag witha handle and a zipper that says "Silvertone" i never got the tuner or picks, but i did get the DVD and strings. im kinda happy bc i heard that the tuner that it came with sucks. the DVD, just the guy kinda scares me. but overall, GET THIS

Feature:
i got this guitar at local music store. it didnt come with any type of gig bag or anything, to be honest, its a better idea to get it seperate because in a cheap package you dont know what you are getting, man.

Quality:
its a so-so kind of thing. if i were to go on the road with my band i would personally trust it because if it fails im pretty good at fixing the problem and doing it right. it looks very nice! the cosmetic aspect is what made me get it in the first place! beautiful finnish, i still love it. and also it stays in tune, its all about keeping up with your strings and changing them when needed. so yeah... gooooooooooda!

Value:
I may piss some people off but i got the guitar alone for $125 at some store in Malone, NY. so all in all hell mo-fo yeah!!! i just hope you all can fix your stuff like i can...

Desirability:
as i said, the finnish is what made me want it. the and the curve on both sides kind head stock. i could never le this thing leave my side, its reliable and as faithfull as a little dog, i love this guitar.

Sound:
It sounds rather good for the cheap pick design. it doesnt have very much resonation unless you really tweek out your effects, if you have a pdal that is. This guitar is most certainly not for the picky type guitar person.

Ease of Use:
since i got the guitar i had to raise and lower the pick ups, hence "the cheap pick up design". when you spend a little while to adjust it to your taste, it sounds really badass!! its a not bad at all.

Support:
no man. they did it right the first time. the input plastic casing snapped off but i just took a small peice of sheet metal, cut it, and screwed it on. other than that and the pick ups, its all good G.

Overall:
this guitar is my first electric. i have been playing for 4 years but on the acoustic. but on my 17th birthday i got this. i still need alot of work but at the moment it cant get any better.

Feature:
I have to bring this one down a bit. The amp is pretty bad... it doesn't really pick up the "skinny" E string and is very 'crackly'. The gig bag isn't padded like it says, so don't count on much protection. And the electric tuner is plastic and i still can't figure out where to put the batteries in...

Quality:
The guitar is great and really nice looking. The amp and tuner are garbage and I will have to get a new one immediately. This guitar (and guitar alone) will probably last quite a while.

Value:
Not worth the price. The amp and tuner are useless. But if you want a good guitar, this is good.

Desirability:
I love the looks of the guitar. It's a really nice red all over on the body.

Sound:
The guitar itself sounds great, just needs a little tuning at first.

Support:
Never used it.

Overall:
I won't have the amp or tuner for a long time.. The guitar I will have for a few years. I wish before I bought this I knew what a piece of crap the amp was...

Feature:
The "case" provides no protection, and you have to be really careful about it. The electrical tuner ironically does not tune your guitar properly, and the cable broke very quickly.

Quality:
This guitar is definetely weak. It is not put together like you expect, and within a couple of weeks you'll notice the pin-straps will eat away the wood (make sure to replace them from the moment you get it.) Compared to other guitars this guitar is very light, giving you a feeling that it can break easily.

Value:
The guitar itself will definetely give you a feel of what playing the guitar is, and the price is reasonable, however, you should do a deep search about this guitar before buying it.

Desirability:
The guitar is well designed and looks good. Nothing crazy about it though.

Sound:
The sound of the guitar is good, however the amp seems like it does not provide enough cool features. Is very straight forward; overdrive or not.

Support:
This guitar took 3 weeks to deliver. After ordering it I learned that it was not in stock, and no notice was given to me until I called them.

Overall:
After about a year or less I will definetely search for a new guitar, and before that the amp will be replaced.

The amp is not the BEST but its still pretty good considering the OUTRAGEOUSLY low price!

Feature:
I just wish tht the amp had delay and some of those other goodies...but this aint no Marshall though... the guitar is just sick...Nasty Paint job, sick design (if u ask me id say it almost looks like a Les Paul) it would be even nicer if it had a wammy though... they said that it came with a tuner picks and a padded gig bag... but i didnt see any picks..there was no tuner...and the gig bag wasnt padded.

Quality:
this guitar is tough...i dont know how many times it hit the bed and its still goin great...there was already a crack on the back of the guitar...but i dunno if its the companys fault or a shipping mistake..the amp is really really loud for a little thing! it shakes the stuff thats on my bookcase! the strap never had any problems... my high "E" string broke within 2 months but that was my fault. it caught onto my strap when i was picking it up.

Value:
id say for beginners..this is awsome...killer looks and great sound adn quality

Desirability:
this thing is a sexy beast...great cosmetic appeal...sick shape...nice sound...i just dont know why the humbuckers are black when my guitar is Cherry Sunburst...it would be nice if they were like tan or sumthin

Sound:
This thing sounds awsome!! I just wish that the amp didnt crackle so much and sometimes I cant tell if the amp is on or off when I hit the high "E" string...but thats the only flaw id say... the distortion is great becasue i love lots of distortion..

Support:
i dont need it

Overall:
Im gonna stay with this thing until the end. I am getting a Squier Black and Chrome Fat Strat...but im never gonna get rid of this thing. This is the ol' Silvertone! Paul Stanley uses it!
