Squier by Fender Classic Vibe Stratocaster 60s, 3 Tone Sunburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I already love the Classic Vibe Series from Squier. I already have the Custom Tele and love the quality, feel and sound of the guitar. This is a great guitar with a unique sound... here's why...
The Build
This guitar is a quality built guitar. 2 Pieces of Alder with amazing quality to the Sunburst finish. It is a gorgeous guitar body. The neck is a thin C-shape with a unique design. It is glossy and thinner than the C-Shaped Mexican Strat Necks or the US Strat Necks. The medium-jumbo frets on the rosewood neck have no sharp edges and seem perfectly installed. The guitar came in the box, perfectly set up, although I needed to set the pickup heights a little differently and change the intonation a little with the bridge saddles. (This should be expected on almost any guitar.) There were a few dinks on the fretboard from the factory, but nothing that affects play at all.
The Hardware
The Tuners are vintage tuners that I have seen on some Us Strats and even the Kenny Wayne Signature Mexican Strat. They stay in tune perfectly well and seem like a great quality. The Bridge and saddles seem to be a good quality. The trem has a zinc trem block that seems less than the quality that I would want. I'm not sure why they don't have a higher quality stainless block.
The Electronics
The Pickups are Alnico and sound great. (remember that the stock Fender Bullet Strings are garbage and need to be changed.) Throw some decent strings on it and you will find that the pickups are fantastic. Tons of character from the notch settings. You get great Strat Spank and quack with a great sound. What surprises me in a huge way is the sustain. This guitar sustains way better than ANY Strat US or MExican that I have ever tried. (I assume that this is a combination of the quality build, the Hardware and the Electronics.)
The Sound
This guitar has a fantastic unique sound. Playing through several amps, this guitar sounded high quality through all of them. You will not find any Squier that has this kind of quality sound and sustain. Not even the Mexican Made Strats have this great sound. The older MIM strats all have ceramic pickups that are no good. This strat has high quality ALNICO pickups.
The Feel
The neck is thin, and if you like a thin neck this guitar feels amazing. I love the feel of this guitar. If you blindfolded me, I might pick the feel of this guitar over any strat that I have ever played.
Overall
You won't find a Strat with such a high quality and interesting sound as good for this price anywhere. If you like the sound and feel, you should feel lucky to find a guitar for this price. I could play this onstage or with any amp and be happy with the sound and sustain.
My guess about this guitar is that they had the China Squier factory use top quality parts and has developed a better quality control system to make these guitars more consistently good.
I love these guitars. Mine is easily becoming my favorite strat to hear, feel and play.

Fender Starcaster Acoustic Guitar Pack with Accessories - Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nice guitar package for beginners. The guitar itself is solid and holds the tune well. The overall package also represents a fantastic value. Everything one needs is there, including a tuner, a stand, picks and even spare strings. The instructional DVD is quite nice as well. I have no problem following the courses so far. The lessons only cover the basic chords, but still enough to get one started.
The price here fluctuates, but tends not to be very competitive. Some buyers have even received used guitars posing as new. Check out overstock.

Starcaster by Fender Strat Electric Guitar Starter Pack, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I give this 4/5 stars because the description is incorrect.
It is a great guitar for a beginner, but it DOES NOT include an instructional DVD or a Gig Bag (as the description states).
If those had been included, I would have gotten 5 stars.
Great Tone, Great Features, Fender online guitar training rocks (so you really don't need the dvd). Good Buy for the price, just make sure you buy a gig bag too.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my husband with the idea that if he learned how to play we could always upgrade. He has learned how to play so quick but has no intentions of upgrading anytime soon. He loves the guitar, the style, the sound, everything. The extras that come with the package are not the best quality, but the guitar itself makes up for it. I did a plenty of research on beginner guitars and and 100% satisfied with what I got.

Fender DG-8S Value-Pack, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this guitar last year to begin taking acoustic guitar lessons. I love the sound of this guitar, it is rich, warm, and has a good tone. It does not sound tinny or cheap. I went to the Guitar Center and played this instrument before purchasing it. I recommend using metal strings. Nylon strings sound terrible! I think this guitar is a great value for the money. The action on this guitar is good, and not too difficult when learning how to play. I have small hands and the fretboard does not feel too wide. I am still struggling to learn, but that is because I don't take the time to practice. This guitar is pretty and I have it displayed in my living room when I am not using it.

Fender Starcaster Strat Pack - 3-Tone Sunburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Its just amazingly perfect for playing at home!!
It includes everything. And I mean everything that you might need. Its not even mentioned in the product description that a headset is also included! Which is totally what I needed as I play it for hours and hours and I should not be disturbing others. Amp is cool, its loud enough for home use. It has Bass and Treble effects as well which is very cool. A guitar stand is also included which makes it easy to keep the guitar when not in use.
About the guitar itself, it needed a bit of tuning when I took it out of the box, but that was again very easy with the chromatic tuner provided. After that tuning its just been sounding inch perfect!
Everyone around me is in love with this guitar. Trust me it won't let you down. A fender is always a good choice! Specially if it comes with all the accessories for a really great price!
About amazon, very fast service, cheers!!
I paid for standard shipping only. And I got in something like 60 hours!

Squier by Fender Stop Dreaming, Start Playing Set: Affinity Special w/ Fender 15G Amplifier, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You'll find many reviews of this product. Some claim it is the worst of the worst, and some love it.
It is a beginners guitar set, so take it as that. The tones that can be achieved are very clear, and the single coil pickups are actually quite good for a cheap guitar. If you want a cheap 100 dollar ebay guitar, go ahead, the pickups will likely be totally unusable. These are usable.
The tone knobs and wiring inside aren't the greatest, but they do their job. There is some 'scratching' sounds when you rotate a few knobs.
The amp it comes with has some nice beginner features, and the headphone output is a plus.
If you want to learn how to play guitar, this has enough to keep you satisfied until you've learned enough to justify a better guitar or amplifier. The guitar is much better then the amplifier, so i would suggest getting a new amp first (what i am doing currently)
Note: buy new strings for your guitar too! The stock strings arent that great.
Also: Buy a guitar strap that is GOOD. The one it comes with slips off, and i hit the side of my guitar on the CORNER of a wooden table...thank god for paint and super glue.

Electric Guitar Package - Includes Guitar, Amp, Strap and Instructional DVD SX RST 3TS w/GA1065 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Shipping - They shipped the guitar package to me the next day, and in addition, they used UPS "Quantum" so that I got automatic email updates with the status of the shipment.
Packaging - The guitar and amp were each packaged separately in brown boxes. The boxes did have the words "guitar" and "amplifier" so if they are meant to be gifts, use caution. There was no excessive amount of cushioning, but the packaging was well engineered and meticulous and everything arrived in excellent condition.
Quality - As a beginner, I have no specific knowledge about what makes a guitar a high-quality guitar. But as a consumer, I can tell you that the general fit, finish and construction is excellent. To my eye, everything seems very well made (see tuner note below). Considering the price of this kit, I am really impressed.
Tuner - The included electronic tuner impressed me at first. It seemed like something that could easily sell for $20-30 on its own and it looked well made. Unfortunately is stopped working after a few days. When I notified Rondo Music, they immediately offered to ship me another free of charge with no questions asked. The new one arrived after about a week and so far it is working well. The great service from Rondo more than made up for the disappointment of the broken tuner.
If I do end up sticking with this hobby, I will definately look at Rondo first for future purchases.

New Black Cutaway Acoustic Guitar W/ Accessories Combo Kit Beginners Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very happy with this purchase. I've always wanted to learn the guitar but I didn't want to pay a lot of money for a beginner' guitar. I searched online for quite a while and came upon this guitar. I saw the price of it and all the additional items that came with it and thought to myself that since it's so "cheap" and I'm just learning to play, it would be a good deal to purchase it. I also thought that because is was so cheap, that the quality of the guitar would be poor. I'm happy to say that I was wrong. The quality of this "cheap" guitar is outstanding. I am so pleaed with it, plus all the items that came with it. I feel as though I "stoled" it. What a great product. I just love it. It looks and sounds wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good guitar, even those who play professionally.

Silvertone SS10 Citation Guitar & Amp Package (Liquid Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been trying to seriously begin playing the guitar for a while, and I bought this one in hopes that spending money on an electric would motivate me more than just using the acoustic that I never had a rapport with. I bought this Silvertone as a starter kit, just looking for something solid and inexpensive. I settled on this one because most of the other guitars in the price range were Austin Bazaar, and Austin Bazaar seems to make very low-quality starter kits in hopes that people who don't know better will buy them.
This guitar has done exactly what I wanted, I can't stop playing it. It comes with everything you need as a beginner--it's already stringed (with light gauge strings, which are good to start with), has a spare set of them as well, picks, amp, tuner, and cable. The only thing you could possibly want added would be a distortion pedal, but a beginner has bigger things to worry about.
I have had no problems at all with the guitar. It is solid and well-built, very satisfying to play. This is probably the best deal you can find on a starter kit.

Oscar Schmidt by Washburn OG10CE Full Size Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar Combo with AB Gig Bag, Stand, and Strings - Transparent Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was amazed how quickly and safely it got to my home. I was a little nervous ordering a guitar over the internet for fear it would be damaged during shipping. The seller did a great job securely boxing it up and it got here without a scratch. I am impressed with the quality of the guitar overall, even though only an amateur I recognize quality when I see it.

Starcaster by Fender Electric Guitar/Amp Package - Sunburst Finish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have this guitar pack and I have to say that the number of negative comments is amazing. I am not sure what people expect for $200.00. No! This is not a $1200.00 dollar American made strat, nor is the $500.00 Mexican made strat. It's a low cost made in China strat.
Regardless of where it was made, I found the workmanship to be very acceptable. The guitar is beautiful and the rosewood fretboard is very nice. The whole guitar has a solid feel. My only real complaint is that the center pickup has an unusually low level output. But there is no way I would return this guitar just because of a single pickup. At worst case I'd just have Fender send a replacement. And Yes! As other reviews have noted, the amp hums a little (especially at higher volumes). But, this has more to with the single coil pickups used in the guitar. If you want humbucker pickups, you're going to pay more. Also the amp is just a small 10W practice amp. It works fine for lower volume practicing. I have fallen in love with mine and play it quietly in the evenings to relax from the world.
I have a family and very little extra money. I am greatful that Fender has provided these low cost kits. It gives me the opportunity to own and relax with a Fender, something that would be questionable with a better (read more expensive) guitar. And, if the kids develop an interest, I won't cry too much if they add a few scratches to it.
Folks need to keep things in perspective. This is a low cost entry level guitar. Understanding those limitations, I highly recommend this kit to anyone just starting out.

New Blue Acoustic Guitar W/ Accessories Combo Kit Beginners Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here is what you need to know about me before you read the rest of my review: I am a pretty musical person. I play keyboards and ukulele, and decided that I would like to venture into the challenge of learning guitar. Also, you should know that I am visually impaired. I can see, but not very well at all. Kind of like Mr. Magoo.
Here is everything that came in the box and what I think of it:
1. The Guitar: Beautiful color. I thought it was going to be a lighter blue color, but mine kind of looks purple, which is nice because that's my favorite color. I'm not sure if this was intentional or a mix-up at the factory, but I am content. There were a few dings in the finish, but that's OK with me. I'm not taking it out in public for performances any time soon.
2. The "gig bag:" I like the straps on the gig bag. You wear it like a backpack, which is handy, actually. Also, it has a pocket on the front where you can keep your extra strings, your tuner, and your picks, if you want. It's kinda cheaply made, but hey, I only paid $14.95 or something like that. I'm not complaining in the slightest.
3. Tuner: I was a little concerned when I saw that it would come with a tuner. I thought that it would be a visual display to help you tune the string. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tuner in question was actually a pitch pipe, with six different pitches to blow, one for each string. Love that part of the deal! Wish I had one of these for my ukulele, but I'm not complaining.
Strings: Ah, yes, well, here is the one flaw in this otherwise acceptable arrangement. I was tuning the G string when it snapped. The pitch was still too low, but the string just snapped. So I thought to myself, "OK, no big deal, I have a spare." Upone replacing that string and attempting to tune it, the replacement string snapped as well. I have since ordered a new set of strings, so that I'll just replace them all so I know what I'm dealing with. I only knew that the strings were steel and I didn't know the gage or anything else about them, so I'm just going to replace them all and then I'll know what I have next time one breaks.
My overall opinion of this product is that it is a good guitar to start with, to learn on. It doesn't have to be perfect if you are just learning in the comfort of your own home or in the company of an instructor who isnt' going to look down on you or anything like that. If you are going to buy this product, I do highly reccommend that you buy a new set of strings, since there is no way to be sure what strings are already on the guitar. Thankfully, strings, even steel ones, can be pretty cheap. I got mine for $3. I also bought some extra picks, but that's nothing to do with the one that came with the guitar. Oh yeah, did I mention the kit only comes with one pick? You might also want to buy some extra picks just in case. I got a 12 pack of blue ones for $5 or thereabouts. But this is a good product, and it shipped out really fast, even with only standard shipping. I was happy about that.
Happy playing!

Silvertone LB11 Bass Guitar and Amp Package, Liquid Black -SSLB11PK-BK Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just recently fell for the Bass. I was looking for a package, since I'm a noob and still have so much to learn. Based on the looks and reviews, this seemed to be the best bass kit for the price.
Like many I was kind of worried after ordering, the contents of the negative reviews began to sink deeper into my mind, but it arrived yesterday and I have no complaints concerning the BASS.
The accessories however, are pretty shoddy. The bag has NO padding and the strap is thin and actually hurts my shoulder. It would be suitable for a ukulele, not a heavy bass. These are two things I will need to replace very soon...ahhhhh more money....
I also have trouble understanding people's complaints about the amp. I may not know much, but this thing is LOUD and I never put the volume all the way up. I can see it being covered by drums, but i play with my obnoxious nephew on his electric guitar, amp and all, and have no trouble hearing what I'm playing.
The instructional DVD is a bit....weird. I wasted about 20 mins on it...but I think that aside from maybe a scale or two you can get much better lessons and tutorials on youtube.
All in all this is a great Bass for my situation. I am a beginner with my only prior musical experience being with the Violin, along with an ongoing lesson on guitar. I'm picking this up for a new hobby and so this sufficient. Very nice sound, look and weight. This is a great way to transition into the bass guitar!

Yamaha Gigmaker Standard Acoustic Guitar Pack, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this guitar to replace my Mitchell guitar based on reviews.
The price was good.
Also, it is the Yamaha brand name.
The sound, I was told by my teacher, was very good and he said it was a good buy.
The tuner is OK....better to buy a Korg tuner from Amazon.
Haven't tried the DVD yet.
I have only two complaints:
1) The bag, as pointed out by another review, is very flimsy. It has no straps, no padding. It just has a carry handle. You would want to buy another gig bag
2) The worksmanship is lacking at certain points....e.g. where the neck extends on to the body of the guitar, you see glue that was squeezed out from under. I am a stickler for aesthetics. Some people are not bothered with such stuff.
OVERALL A VERY GOOD GUITAR
PS - You might want to check out the GigMaker Deluxe...similar guitar but has a solid spruce top and is only $10-$20 extra. I did not know about it otherwise would have bought that.
However, as I came to know later, solid wood tops sound good but need to be kept in controlled humidity whereas the laminate tops don't care about humidity. If you want to control humidity, you can buy a little humidifier (no electricity needed) that drops into the sound hole of the guitar.

Yamaha Gigmaker Deluxe Acoustic Guitar Package Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just started playing Guitar and after seaching around the internet i found this steal of a guitar. I paid 179.99 from amazon and it shipped free and seeing as im in Iraq thats awsome. Ayway the guitar is very easy to play action isnt to high and its easy to get a clean sound from, tunning is also no problem usualy the top two strings need to be a little tighter after sitting over night but thats about it. The tuner is very helpful and the dvd while not very exciting does have a great cord dictionary thats very helpful to me. Over all for the money i think this is a awsome package the only peice of the package that isnt awsome is the gig bag and at this price who cares the gig bag they give you is just that a bag no padding or anything of that sort.

Fender SA-100 Upgrade Acoustic Guitar Pack Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This guitar package is great! I am a beginner and it is great to start off with. The guitar is absolutely beautiful and the accessories are really great. It comes with a dozen picks, an instruction booklet, chromatic tuner, and gig bag. The guitar sounds wonderful. The only con that I have is that the action seems a little high, therefore making it a little tough on beginner's hands. But anything will be tough on a beginner's hands because we are not used to pressing down on thin (or thick for that matter) pieces of steel. Other than that, it is awesome!
UPDATE: After having the action adjusted by a pro at a guitar repair shop, the guitar is even more of an absolute joy to play! It does not hurt my fingers hurt at all anymore. So if you are having problems with the action being too high, take it to a local guitar repair shop and have them look at it and adjust it. Your fingers will thank you!!! GREAT GUITAR!!
