Summary: Decent beginner guitar, but not built as well as better models
Comment: This is a decent starter guitar, but if your guitarist gets serious this will need to be upgraded within 1-2 years. My son has been playing this guitar a few times a week, alternating with his acoustic guitar for the past 18 months. Unfortunately, the bridge was not originally properly assembled, causing the inner springs to produce a creaky sound as he uses the whammy bar.

The line out on the guitar has been fixed a couple of times, and now the parts are stripped and need replacement if he wants to continue playing this guitar. Also, the amp input module inside the amp (not the plug itself) has gone bad and needs replacement.

I take these things as a sign that he just needs a better quality guitar and amp, but this has served him well while he was learning.

My son is very good on instruments, so I know it's not how he is using his Fender. His keyboard is in perfect condition with the same amount of use. His violin is in excellent condition with a year of use, as is his acoustic guitar with over one year of use.

This particular model is a great student model but it just not built as well as higher end electric guitars. I would really recommend not buying this guitar unless you are just testing the waters to see if your child is serious about playing. Although the price is right and the package includes a lot, this is not traditional Fender quality.

Summary: Great starter kit!
Comment: I bought this kit for my daughter when she decided she wanted to learn to play an electric guitar. This kit was perfect for a beginner and had all the items needed to get her started right away... It is a good quality item and looks great, she is enjoying it very much... The only additional item to be purchased was a headset -- to keep the noise level down and mama happy...

Summary: Good guitar, but find a better one
Comment: basically, this here is a perfectly legit guitar. I was really lucky and got a nice one. But if you want a starter "fender" guitar. Go to your nearest guitar center (or musician's friend) and pickup up a Squier Jagmaster. Much better guitar, same price without an amp.

the amp is decent, the distortion can get heavy, but really noisy. Decent starter kit. but for the same price, you could probably "assemble" a better one

Summary: fender starcaste candy red with accesory pack
Comment: the guitar needed the strings changed and It was alittle bit scrched. But it sounds good. I was told that it would be new. But I seriosly doubt that.
