So I got this for my husband to play as he used to play but he hasn't picked it up once other than to look at it. So I'm trying my hand at it. Have a little issue trying to tune it as the A string (thickest) kept reading as other strings. I like it comes with a pick. I wish it came with a how to book for beginners since it's advertised as a beginner guitar. Trying to look up online how to play is confusing. But the guitar sounds nice when strummed and is easy to hold

This is actually a very nice-looking guitar. I have another guitar with an identical paint color. If you are looking to get a guitar for someone whose dedication to learning the instrument may be questionable, this is a good low-cost option to see if they stick with it. Before I had an adult job with real money, I would buy cheap guitars like this and fix them up so that they were comparable to mid-range guitars. I enjoyed it because I learned how to set up and maintain my guitars and I could customize them how I wanted.I would say the quality and setup of this guitar out of the box is comparable to what a Fender Squier was about 10-15 years ago. I say that because the last couple of Squiers I have acquired since then had nicely finished frets and attention to quality. They are also a bit more expensive now.With this guitar, it will take a little effort to set up the bridge and intonation properly. The neck is straight and the frets seem level but feel a little rough on the edges. I tend to strum a little rough and this guitar managed to stay in tune ok. The tuners don't have any movement and the gear ratio feels smooth while tuning.With the guitar, you also get an amp and accessories like a cable, a guitar strap, a clip-on tuner, an extra set of strings, some picks, and a bag. The bag is unpadded and feels cheap, the rest is serviceable but of them, all the cable is probably the first thing you'd want to upgrade.The amp is interesting. It is very narrow and has a kick stand to prop it up to face towards you as you play. It also has a headphone port to allow practicing quietly.I was actually surprised how much I liked the clean sound of the amp. There is not a huge range of volume but putting about halfway and you get a nice pleasant tone. There is a drive circuit for some distortion but in my opinion, don't waste your time. It's like a very horrible sounding overdrive and any cheap overdrive pedal is going to give you a much better sound.All in all, I'd say this is comparable to guitars I would buy at this price and fix up several years ago except you get all the extras as an added bonus. And looking at the market now, it seems like you can't get a name-brand guitar under $200 and color options are limited. So if you want a guitar of this color and know how to upgrade the hardware, I'd say go for it. Or if you want an affordable guitar that doesn't require a whole lot of tweaking to sound good, this is also a good option.

I got this for the kids and I to tinker with. None of us actually know how to play the guitar so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one. This comes with everything you need to get started, and if you can get this on sale for about $110, it seems like quite a deal. The guitar seems like pretty good quality to me, considering the price. The amp is a bit weak, but I am not performing for anyone anytime soon so I don't need much. I am having a problem tuning 1 of the strings, but that is likely a me problem.

This came well packaged. The guitar weighed 6.3 pounds. The gig bag is just a dust cover with no padding. There is no tremolo bar, even though one is mentioned on the Amazon page. And that's fine, since a Telecaster type guitar like this one has a hard tail bridge. The practice amp is okay, even though it has to be plugged in to an outlet to be used. The strap and cable are very basic. The tuner is the one included in most beginner packages and it's frustrating to use. Better to grab an app on your phone to assist with tuning. The guitar itself is good. The tuners have a bit of slack, but functioned well enough. The nut is plastic, but cut well enough to play cowboy chords for a beginner. There were no high frets or fret buzz, even after I lowered the action. More about that later. The fret ends weren't perfect, but they were good enough to play on. The neck is somewhat of a slim C and very comfortable to play. It feels unfinished, but smooth. I suggest you use the included hex wrench to lower the action until it's around 6-7/1,000's or you start to have any fret buzz, then back off a bit. It seems that almost all guitars are set too high from the factory. This was no exception, although it wasn't incredibly high. It could have been played at the factory setting, but you'll enjoy it a lot more with lower action. The body is well finished with no obvious blemishes. The bridge is a top loader, so no string through body on this guitar. I prefer string through on my Telecasters, but I didn't notice any pinging or sustain problems, so this one is staying as a top loader. The electronics function well, and the selector switch feels surprisingly firm, which is a good thing. The pickups are fine as long as you stick to clean tones. And as a beginner, that's likely what you should be doing. This guitar and kit are exactly the kind of thing someone starting out on guitar needs. And for around 105 dollars after a coupon on the Amazon page, this is a very good value for money.
