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.

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.

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.

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.

Incredible value. If you take care of this guitar, it will last you a long time and serve you well.

I've had no experience with the company.

I've had a couple comments, but really it's just a generic "electric guitar-guitar" look.

Great sound

Good quality,will last a long time.

Sounds as good as my friemd's strat

Looks great

Professional

Classic Rock,Metal

Cheap pickups

Neck is one the straightest I've ever seen.

For an off shore item the quality is better than I expected.

A good starter guitar for very little money.

didn't need it.

Except for name Silvertone, instead of "Fender" on the head piece, it's almost imposible to tell the difference by just looking at it.

Country/Jazz

It sounded good at first eventually the pickups crapped out on me but thats ok cause now i can customize this to how i want it.

Pretty basic seen better

Pretty good could use better pickups but hey what can you expect for 100 bucks.

Never used it.

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!

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!

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!

This guitar is worth more than every penny you scrownge to buy it. HEAVY METAL SUCKS!

This guitar was so good i havent had any trouble with it so no experience with the support. HEAVY METAL SUCKS!

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!

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.

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.

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.

For 100 bucks it has held up like a champ.Sounds decent and feels great.

I'd say it is worth it.And hell Im poor.

Havnt needed them.

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.

I would say Im a member in a jam band.But am planning to record a little bit of our music.

Grunge mostly.

stay clear away from this one i got mine and there were scratch marks on the base and when i played it the strings buzzed this is simply the worst guitar on the planet and I've played some bad guitars and this one takes home the trophy of the worst of the worst be careful when buying online you get what you pay for.

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

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

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

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

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

never used it so i dont really know

looks exactly like a fender except the head stock is shaped different

just messing around...planning to start gigging soon

post hardcore, screamo and a little metal

it has a punk rock sound to it not bad for a beginner guitar.

Pretty good 5 pickups good first guitar.

good quality punk rock-ish sound to it.

not worth much selling mine gonna get $50 bucks or so

havent had any problems

i rated it an 8 because it was my first guitar and i really wanted it.

great sound for the price

mine came with a crappy gig bag that was about as thin as a fingernail but besides that no problem.

i have not had any problems with this guitar since ive bought it.

worth all you will pay for it

great buy for a beginer.

it looks like your everyday basic guitar
