39in Full Size Beginner Electric Guitar Starter Kit w/Case, Strap, 10W Amp, Strings, Pick, Tremolo Bar - Jet Black

For the price, and excellent guitar. I haven't adjusted mine yet at all, and it plays well. I use it exclusively with a Boss Katana: Go and it sounds great; good tone and very playable. I have some Super Slinkys waiting to be strung, but the out of the box strings are still going strong quite awhile after purchasing. Perfect for sitting around with headphones and practicing (Tremelo bar is functional as well, doesn't throw it out of tune and isn't just for show like other cheap guitars).

FIRST - This is not a a paid review. I received no compensation nor discount for this product. I bought it, I tried it, I liked it, I rated it here. In August of 2016 I had a brain fart, "lets buy the boys guitars for Christmas" . We have 7 Grand-kids. the 4 boys came first, then 2 sweet little girls, and one still in the oven. I decided to buy one of these kits just to see if they were any good. WOW was I impressed. I have several guitars and I have play professionally ( and on worship tams for free) so I know what I want a guitar to sound like and feel like and play like. These knock off Stratacasters were just the ticket. After getting the first test guitar set up and tuned and after playing it for about an hour ( I like to play when the guitar is in tune) I ordered 2 more of these kits (2 blue, 1 green per the boys preference) and one junior kit for the youngest boy > RED Junior Kids Mini 3/4 Electric Guitar Amp Starter Pack, Guitar, Tremolo, Amplifier, Gig Bag, Strap, Cable, & DirectlyCheap(TM) Translucent Blue Medium Guitar Pick < TO be honest , right out of the box they played terrible. But I could easily see why -- they needed to be "Set Up". This is true for even new expensive guitars - they all need to be set up. This is the process of making sure the neck is aligned and not bowed, then adjusting all of the bridge pieces to get the correct string heights and make sure they are adjusted to the proper mathematical musical length. Depending on how badly these are not set up properly this can take an hour or two, but if you are even a novice player, if you can watch you tube, there are instructions galore on how to set up an electric guitar. Once I get these set up I was very impressed at the play-abiity and intonation of these great inexpensive instruments. For about $100 you (or a child) can be on your way to becoming a player. This is something that you can get a young child that if the interest wanes, just put in away in the closet and in a few years if an interest gets sparked again, its there and waiting for you to have another go at it. For reference, the age ranges of our boys are from 6 to 12. This guitar was just the right size for the 3 oldest and the shorter neck I review as well was the perfect size for the youngest one.( I neglected to consider how short his fingers are at this age, but he will grow into it, and have fun messing around with it until then.) These can carry them from total goof off novice toy to being able to really play in a band in thier youth and not have to buy an expensive Fender or Gibson till they are older and seem to be into playing as a real hobby ( or the next Eric Clapton). The Amp that comes with these is a nice little amp that will be plenty loud enough for starting out. You get everything in the kit to be jammin' right out of the box. I suggest getting the clip on tuner>Snark SN-5 Tuner for Guitar, Bass and Violin< and a pack of extra picks. My preference are standard size, medium to thin and if you can find the ones that aren't smooth they will be less likely to slip out of your fingers. As a player and former performer I recommend these units as a great way to get anyone started in playing music with very little expense. If you are not sure about doing the set up your self you can probably find someone in your local area to do this for you at reasonable cost. If you are in my area send me a message and we will see what we can do. In short these are well worth the money to invest in someones musical future!!!!! N8ACU

Great set for beginners. The price was excellent for everything in. Great shipping tome and packaging. Looks amazing, only gave 4 stars because it's a xmas gift so haven't heard the actual sound yet.

As someone just starting their guitar journey, finding the right instrument can be overwhelming. I did a lot of research and decided to take a chance on this Best Choice electric guitar for beginners, and I could not be happier with my decision! First off, the value for money is incredible. You get a surprisingly well-built guitar that looks great and feels solid, especially for its price point. It doesn't feel like a cheap toy; it feels like a legitimate instrument that you can grow with. It's incredibly easy to play right out of the box. The action (the height of the strings from the fretboard) was good, making it much easier for my beginner fingers to press down chords without buzzing or excessive strain. The neck feels comfortable in my hand, which is crucial when you're spending hours practicing. The sound quality is more than adequate for learning. Through my small practice amp, it produces a clear, versatile tone that works well for a variety of genres. It holds its tuning surprisingly well too, meaning less time spent tuning and more time spent playing. For any aspiring guitarist, having an instrument that encourages practice rather than frustrates it is key, and this guitar absolutely does that. It's not intimidating, it sounds good, and it feels comfortable. It's the perfect entry point into the world of electric guitar without breaking the bank. Highly, highly recommend for any beginner!

very great kit for beginners

First, I want to tell you that this is not a paid review, I bought this guitar as a practice guitar for myself, and I am totally pleased with the playability and performance . I received the guitar and would give it a Five star review except the pick plate was cracked and the finish was marred, however, this could have been done by the delivery company. the box was slightly damaged. that being said, I took the time to do the setup on the guitar, and if you aren't familiar with it, you can have it done at a music shop. the tuners are precise, the weight of the guitar is nice, the neck was completely straight and didn't need adjusting, I adjusted the bridge, and tuned the guitar, and after retuning twice, it stayed in tune, that is normal, the strings need to stretch, the tremolo bar works perfectly, all the pickups are great, no buzz or feed back, the saddles were all that had to be adjusted on the bridge, and the pick-ups were too low, I raised them. I played it with the factory supplied strings, the action is perfect, exactly where it should be. I have been playing for about 40 yrs and over the years have played many Stratocasters, and this plays as good as any $1000.00 Fender I have ever played, this is an amazing guitar for the price. all the components are good, pick-ups are good, control knobs and 5 position switch all perform outstanding, If you are looking for a good guitar to learn on, want a guitar to play in church, or want to give someone the gift of music, you can't go wrong with this guitar. I changed the review from 4 stars to 5. I contacted the seller about the damage to the guitar, they were prompt, courteous, and responded far beyond what I expected. I love the playability of the guitar I received. I contacted the seller and they paid to have my guitar repaired due to Fed Ex damaging the guitar in transit. They bought a new pickguard for it and paid to have the chip repaired. I couldn't be more pleased. I did a complete setup on this guitar, checked the neck, it is perfectly made. I played one of Stevie Ray Vaughn's Stratocasters in Houston Texas in 2009, this guitar is comparable to the sound and playability. The factory supplied strings are decent strings, they hold tune very well. I am changing the strings because of personal preference only, a new guitar player would be more than satisfied with the strings. I cleaned and oiled the fretboard (standard operating procedure), checked all the frets with a fret rocker, all the frets were perfect, the nut is made of bone and is solid, the tuning machines are precise, the guitar is solid, the neck is curly tiger stripe maple, the fretboard is rosewood, and the body is hardwood. This is easily worth as much as one of the high end Squires sold by Fender. The amp is good, no hum, static, buzz, and for a 10w practice amp, this little amp puts out tremendous sound, the drive switch adds just the right amount of power and the guitar will produce any kind of music you want to play. The 5 position pickup switch controls all the pickups and the only thing I had to do was adjust the pickup height, also a normal practice with electric guitars. Overall, this is an amazing guitar, easily worth much more than what it is listed for, and the company is easy to deal with, professional, courteous, and helpful. If I need another guitar, I will buy this again.

I got this for my wife’s birthday and it came as if used, it has damage in two spots. 1 yellow mark and one chip of the finish. I’m trying to decide what to do about this.

Love it it on time
