"Really Good!!!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Great Guitar, great pack!!
Sound
Really good sound the only but is that without humbuckers the noise can be annoying, probably i will change those. but if you set it rigth the sound is really clear.
Features
It came with Everything ready to play, the cable alone cause some distortions which is not that particulary good when you want a play soft music.
Ease of Use
Well i don't have to much to campara with because I'm use to play my acoustic spanish guitar, but is really easy to play
Quality
well built, what else can i say.
Value
GREAT!!!
Manufacturer Support
I don't know, I hope that i never have to find out how it is :)

i would want to no what other people thought about it before buying.
Sound
i thing this guitar is amazing i am a newbie 11 year old person with the books that were so like, detailed i picked it up so easily in a week i memerized all the chords and stuff. the only thing i dont like about it is when you put it on hot,u.s, and calif. all at once with the amp it like makes a really weird sound like you play and you let go of the strings and instead of stopping it gets louder..which is weird.
Features
i wish it had a grunge... that would be the best!!!!! but i like all the stuff that came with it. i was fine with it...except maybe alittle more picks. (only 3, thats insane!)
Quality
there are no bad aspects this guitar rocks!!!
Value
its the best price ever for a guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Manufacturer Support
i prefer behringer probably more than anything else (dont know much only 11)because i think it suits and makes kids love guitar even more.

overall i would say awesome guitar and if ur lookin 2 start playing the guitar go and buy it right now cuz ur not gonna find a better deal!
Sound
the guitar is very good!!best starter guitar u will get 4 this kinda money!the guitar is very durable,and that amp seems to be also.

features r about average,it would have been nice if the amp had better distortion in it because u can't get much distortion outta it.

the body of this guitar makes it easy 2 hit just about all the the frets with ease i like that alot about this guitar!
Quality
this guitar is very durable!!it got hit with a fan on high once and it barly left a mark!

"$100,what do you expect???"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
now that i think about im changing my rating i gave this pack early from a 3 to a 6.for the money you pay you get what you can expect.I personally would go with an ibanez or squir pack,but thats my opinion.its got me where im at today.but i just went to guitar center today and played a fender standard tele hooked up to a crate 120watt amp and it made me think...JEZZZZZZZZ i could have it so much better.this is a really good starting guitar.but once you increase in skill i would suggest upgrading to a better setup to help compliment your playing.
Sound
The tone isnt really good,ive played fenders and this doesnt even compare,but what do u expect you cant compare this guitar to a fender...maybe a squir...As for the amp,it is really hard to get really good sound out of it...instead of knobs its got switches which dont offer a very large range of sounds,the different switches all change how the amp sounds but there isnt to much of a difference.
Features
The stuff it comes with is pretty basic...besides the amp and guitar it came with a strap,strings,a whammy bar,a sheet of paper with some chords on it,a 3/4 inch jack,a manual and a few picks.if it had came with a tuner the pack would have been way better,my strings were out of tune when i first got it for the longest time until i got to my local music shop and bought one.and as for the headphone jack...dont even think about spending the money for either a 1/2 to 3/4 inch plug or headphones for a guitar amp because there is no point...the amp isnt able to produce the sound that you need to hear anything,you can hear your guitar without the amp better than with headphones on.
Quality
Ive had many problems with this guitar...ive had to take it to the shop twice because the neck was bent and the bridge was elevated,the second time i took it in i had to have the saddles reajusted.i also had to have my pickups fixed because to of them werent working.the tuners tend to get loose sometimes which causes a slight buzz,but that is an easy fix.the strap quickly started to tear and i eventually had to buy a new one because it broke,some of that was probably do to my constant taking it off and putting it back on my guitar.so far ive had no problems with the amp.
Value
well what can you expect...the whole guitar package was $100.for that price you cant expect much more than what theyre giving you.
Manufacturer Support
im just putting a 10 in this catagory.ive never contacted the company so i wouldnt know...i always go to mylocal music shop to have my guitar fixed,cuz nice people and really helpfull.

"Great, it's lasted me 3 years and counting."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Good, great deal for beginners, also easy to travel with
Sound
There are definitely better guitars out there, but i have owned this one for 3 years now, ive had only one big problem with the sound of it. The cable that comes in this package really really isnt worth keeping, i guess its good for having the first while you have it just to play with, but as soon as you can go find a better cable, because its not gonna last long. Also, the amp is terrific, it lasted 3 years for me and only died because someone plugged it into a wrong wall plug and we smelled smoke and sound no longer came from it. For the price though, its great sound.
Features
The guitar is strong enough, its gt a pretty solid body and quite good playability. On the other hand the cable and the strings that come with arent really anything special. The amp and the guitar itself though are the 2 best things in the package, which they should be.
Ease of Use
Sooo easy, just plug it in and it works! the manual is also great. Neck doesnt slide great but all in all very very easy.
Quality
Yeah, if it were the best, they wouldnt be able to charge $80 for it, but its better than the cost dictates.
Value
Seriously, for $80, you cannot get a better deal, this is insanely good for what you get.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Overall, a great guitar. I recommend it for anyone who has considered buying it. I've had it for awhile now, I have had no issues whatsoever. Still sounds great, and the amp is great too. Lots and lots of presets, the clean is very clean. Distortion is better than some pedals out there.
Sound
I have played quite a number of guitars. And this one sounds just as good as most. No extra noises, picks up finger taps well. The amp sounds GREAT too. Good distortion, good clean, good presets, and a wide range of styles so it fits any player. Goes VERY loud if wanted. (If you leave the guitar leaning against something with the base on the floor and turn up all the Low Mid High Drive and Master, with the presets to CALIF HOT US then it will vibrate the guitar and make its own notes causing a very very loud noise!)
Features
Pretty standard, same features as a fender strat: 2 tone nobs, 1 volume, pickup selector, and whammy bar. The amp has lots of presets.
Quality
I was expecting it to be more cheapo, but I believe it is made quite well. Other people have said it feels like its going to fall apart in your hands.. I don't feel that way. I think it feels more sturdy that others. The amp is well built, not flimsy. The speaker is quite large also.
Value
Inexpensive great beginner guitar. Might still be good for a backup for more experienced players. The amp is a great addition. If you bought the amp, and a similair quality guitar, you would pay double what this package is.
Manufacturer Support
No need to call 'em, absolutely NO PROBLEMS at all with this guitar.
The Wow Factor
Looks great. Good surface for applying decals too also. Looks just like a fender strat. Amp looks great too. Behringer logo is very cool.

"Good for starters"

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars

It is only good for beginners, those who do not care about what a guitar looks like and just want one. After a year or so, they will change their minds.
Sound
Eeh, not so great. It was my first guitar. I made major alterations to it, adjusting the sprigns in the back was definately a big one.
Features
The accessories this came with were just ok. The poster was fine, picks were of poor quality, and the strap was terrible. The cable was so thin mine picked up radio signals...
Quality
The amp is amazing, but this product focuses o nthe guitar. My guitar is nasty, I think it's molding in a few spots. The strings need to be changed a lot, and the guitar goes out of tune evry fast.
Value
Very good for a first guitar, and astonishingly cheap.
Manufacturer Support
Never requested service.

"ok guitar"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
It is a crappy guitar with "whatever" sound. It will last you but don't take it to a gig. The amp swithes screwed up bad so my prediction is is that the guitar will last longer then the amp.
Sound
The sound is ok. I have a Behringer El Toro and this is nothing compared to it. If this had humpbuckers it would probably sound better. Here's a tip. Don't put any D addario strings on this guitar. Trust Me :)
Features
The two tone knobs don't do much. I have to leave them at ten to get the sound i want. It is a pretty crappy yet sturdy guitar. It has quite a few battle scars now. The pickguard is pretty faded after only two years. I don't know is it normal on a fender strat. Strap and cable sucked I broke the strap after about 6 months to about a year. picks broke realy easy. I lost most of them but the thin one broke. (the only one i could find. Figures.)
Ease of Use
if you want a sound that fits you you have to play around with the guitar AND the amp. the guitar does not cut my skin like others have said. it can stay in tune for a week or longer if you never use the whammy bar. I think ive used better guitars. It is light weight though. and wont hurt your shoulder.
Quality
I would have recomended this BEGINER guitar for my little sister. she has badly broken her first act acoustic. the bridge came completely off while tuning. this would take a long time to be broken by my lil sis. proffesional guitarists will be very displeased with this guitar.
Value
You get what you pay for.
Manufacturer Support
I have never dealt with the company I'll give them a five cause they have made other good amps etc.
The Wow Factor
It is ok. I realy don't like it that much. When I first saw it I thought it was the best thing in the world. but after i got knowledge about guitars and instrument quality i thought it was not as good as fenders strats.

Good to start up, but you will end up replacing everything except for maybe the amp.

Pretty basic as far as features go. The accessories that came with it are awful. I recommend buying another cable on top of this. The strap is terrible. The picks are very cheap.

overall, this guitar has acually more than served it's purpose for me, i just needed something to play while i learned, but i still go back and jam with it...but if you're all ready a well seasoned musician, don't buy this package, you'll only be dissapointed, but if you're just starting, BUY IT...the amp is GREAT, i still use it to practice
Sound
the amp sounds great, the pickups on the guitar are about average
Quality
the chord died after about 2 or 3 weeks, but their pretty cheap to replace, other than that, everything still works...there's also a bit of fret buzz, but i just raised my action a little and that was gone

"guitar + accessories = blechhh. amp = yummm."

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
this pack sucks mainly due to the company cheaping oout on everything except the amp and the gig bag. my advice is buy it for an ABSOLUTE beginner, or just go out and buy the amp by itself.
Sound
The guitar itself only gets a 4, but the greatness of the amp brings the sound all the way up to 7.
Features
90% of the accessories that came with it were total crap. the picks broke really easily, the strap ripped within a week, the cable started buzzing and muting out within 2 months, and the whammy bar snapped off inside the guitar during a small gig. how embarassing. the gig bag and the amp were very decent though, very high quality. only parts of the package worth keeping.
Ease of Use
the action on the guitar is fairly low, making it easy to play for beginners, but delivering a hideous buzzing most of the time. the guitar is mediocre, but yet again the amp saves this by having some great presets and an easy to use interface.
Quality
The quality of the amp is great, it will last years and you will probably want to keep it until it dies. the guitar on the other hand, doesn't take abuse too well. the strings that came with it were very terrible quality. the materials used in the actual guitar arent very good either. the nut is made from a cheap looking plastic that cracks very easily, plaguing you with a constant buzzing that is unbearable unless you want to subject yourself to the headache of completely replacing the nut. the guitar goes out of tune very quickly. i found myself retuning it constantly, especially during long practice sessions. the whammy bar detunes it even faster with a fresh tune lasting only a few hours sometimes.
Value
i guess for 100 bucks you get what you pay for.
Manufacturer Support
it was ok. electronic support sucks though. their website was almost unnavigatable last time i logged on.
The Wow Factor
even though it looks just like a normal strat, the fact that the guitar is just a cheap knockoff completely turns me off of it.

The sound isnt that good with the amp. It has alot of buzzing and some times when you want to stop playing it does get louder. My uncle brough his 300$ BC Rich and that made me feel sick about the one i gotten. But overall sound is pretty cool and you can make pretty sick songs

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
i hate this guitar, as a matter of fact i just ordered a new guitar, the Epiphone G-400 Vintage. its been 2 years that ive had this guitar and now no that this thing is horrible. i expect to keep the amp for while longer, maybe 1 or 2 years more than ive already had it. if you are really looking into get a guitar cause you want one and not just to be cool, you shoult GET THE EPIPHONE LES PAUL PACK!!! the guitar is about 100x better than this, for only 100 dollars more, well worth it in my mind.
Sound
The frets rattle, and the sound just all around sucks, but it would be fine for beginners.
Features
The Amp is great, the guitar sucks, the shoulder strap sucks, the chord sucks, the picks suck, and the strings suck.
Ease of Use
easy to use, since it is so simple with not many knobs and what-not.
Quality
The guitars plastic covering over the pick guard, after 2 years, i still havent been able to get it off, the frets rattle, the neck was made horribly, and was made of cheap wood.
Value
for only 90 bucks, it is worth it only because of the amp which is a 60 dollar amp other words. the guitar sucks.
Manufacturer Support
havent needed it yet, but would assume it is fine
The Wow Factor
I DONT WANT IT! it is ugly, black and white with a disgusting looking pick guard. you can tell just by looking at it that it sucks, i even want a better amp, even though the amp is good.
