Feature:
The amp is fairly good (lots of sound and lots of overdrive distortion for the price), but the rest of the accessories are sketchy. The bag is too small and as thick as a plasic grocery bag -- does not protect the guitar at all other than from dust. However, since it's such a tight fit, the closing zipper can scratch your finish. I bought a nice padded bag for this guitar. The tuner definitely works, but isn't very accurate and sometimes gives erroneous readings -- but you can still tune as long as you're patient with it. The instructional video is awesome for beginners. It's a crash course through the very basics to get you started.

Quality:
For the price, you can't beat the quality of this guitar. I've got no complaints... it's built solidly and attention is paid to fine details. Smooth frets, great finish. I compared it side by side to a comparable Gibson and Epiphone and this fell right in the middle.

Value:
You won't find anything near this price that compares in quality... a must have if you want a less expensive Les Paul without giving up quality or sound.

Desirability:
This guitar is sexy... period. If your girl doesn't like it, dump her because she doesn't know what's good for her. You will have no problem picking up another girl with this axe.

Sound:
Wow, for the price, this is the closest thing you'll get to a real Les Paul. Intonation was dead on out of the box and even after I put in some GHS Boomer 10 strings (comes with 9s). Harmonics are precise. However, I tune with 1/2 step down, so I'm going to need to raise the action a bit to stop fret buzz.

Support:
I gave Samick (company that makes Silvertone) a call a few days ago and they were very quick to respond to my questions. I have not had any problems with their product.

Overall:
Guitar is beyond expectations. Accessories could use improvement -- but a good value for the price because of the above average amp. If you don't need the amp, consider purchasing just the guitar.

Feature:
Amp is fine.

Quality:
The finish and everything is great. The guitar is beautiful, but I had a problem with the bridge pickup cutting out. My brother had to fix a couple of solder joints and replace a pot. Now it's good since fixed.

Sound:
To my novice untrained ear it sounds great.

Support:
didn't call them. Didn't want to send the guitar back and wait for another one.

Overall:
Not sure yet, but It seems good enough to keep around.
