I got the guitar -fastand was playing it the same day. I immediately noticed it would not stay in tune. This was curious, because at first I thought it was the way I was tuning it (Hadn't played in years, so possibly I was tuning it wrong, and when I was playing would find a note that stuck out and thus realized I mis-tuned it).Showed it to a buddy of mine from college, he let me know the neck was warped. Sure enough, holding it from the body and looking down the neck, there was a slight twist in the neck.
He tried to warp it the other way with some special tools he had so he could fix it. With no success due to the severity of the warp, I started pricing new necks. Luckily the friend had a spare cheap mexican strat neck laying around and gave it to me.
Plays good now.
The amp is pretty good for the price surprisingly, and the guitar comes with an assortment of picks, a strap, and a gig bag.
Anyone who receives this guitar, first day look down the body on the neck over a flat surface. If the neck is warped return it ASAP. I waited too long, and though I'm sure the seller would have negotiated something fine, I just took it to a buddy.
Buy Full Size Black Electric Guitar with Amp, Case and Accessories Pack Beginner Starter Package Now
I bought this for Rocksmith. Works freaking awesome for the game. What seperates me a small bit from other Rocksmith players maybe, is that I am around tons of Guitar players (who have been playing for 10 years) and I really wanted to get into it. I had never even held a guitar, but I wanted to learn so I could jam in a year or two with my friends and co-workers. They made fun of me for buying a beginners package saying how crappy the guitar will be. I was worried, but when I got the package I was relieved to see it was not a rip-off. The guitar seems to be built well and stays in tune (according to the game, which seems to be pretty accurate). The amp works great... unbelievably loud... to play it in my man-cave... I can only turn it up 3-5% or it is overpowering. It also comes with a single piece of paper that is like a cheat sheet for beginners for guitar with basic cords and such. However, there is a little fret buzz when you strum the Low E string. From what I googled on this, it seems this can be because of a bad "nut" on the neck... more than likley if I took the guitar to a Guitar shop and had them restring it and fine-tune the things on it it would be great... but thats $50.At first I could tell no difference between this Guitar and my Friend's $1,500 Les Paul (because I was/am SOOOO new to the instrument... any instrument actually) but have quickly started to see the differences. This Guitar seems to sound sloppy and loose and feels that way after getting a feel for the guitar in general(even though it DOES keep tuned very well). Nicer Guitars seem to feel more fine-tuned and responsive and hold notes longer. Playing this Guitar and a high-end one side by side (by someone who knows what they are doing) provides very different sound to someone who knows what to listen for.
Simply put, this guitar is more than worth the Money... but once you get addicted to Guitar, which I have in the two weeks I've had it (I've played for probably 30-35 hours already)... I am already trying to rationalize reasons to buy a much nice (and more expensive) Guitar that plays "smoother".
I give this product 5 stars because of the price. If its wasn't so Cheap, I'd never have gotten into Guitar... now I am addicted and see the benifits of a more expensive Guitar, and appreciation for the instrument.I bought this for my 7 year old daughter. LOVE the guitar although the screw at the bottom of it that holds the strap came out and I had to put in a fatter screw. No big deal. The amp DOES NOT buzz on mine even though quite a few reviews talk about an annoying buzz. It scared me a little but I bought it anyways and guess what.. NO BUZZ!!
It sounds great, it looks great and has a great price. I've had it for 2 weeks now and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of purchasing this for their child or themselves!!I bought this as a starter guitar for my 10-yr old daughter, who is showing some desire and aptitude to play music.
The guitar its self is decent enough, especially considering the price. I did have to do a full setup on it, which I expected, but with a tweak of the truss rod, filling down the nut, dressing the frets, and adjusting the bridge, it actually plays pretty well. There were some sanding marks on the neck by the head stock, but some fine sand paper removed them OK.
The neck is a bit chunky for my liking, but not too bad. You pretty much get one sound out of the humbucker, but it sounds good, and there's quite a bit of gain. The included amp isn't anything great, but it functions fine, and with it's shrill tone and enough volume, it's sure to make ears bleed. It's fine for a rock-goddess in training though.
Overall, I think it's incredible that you can get a complete guitar package for ~$100, and actually have a decent guitar after a bit of setup work!
