Fender StarcasterOctober 2, 2008 It serves my purpose. It's a nice introduction guitar, soft and easy to the touch. The amp came with a little dent but it still works. Over all a Great Product!
Great Guitar...at Least for MeAugust 24, 2008 I don't know a lot about music, but as far as I can tell, this guitar does what it's supposed to. If I knew more about guitars, perhaps I could write a more critical review. Nonetheless, I was able to hook it to an amp easily, tune it with the tuner, and play along with an instructional cd (I purchased it separately). I'm definitely not disappointed.
My new fenderJuly 28, 2008 I am very happy with the guitar that I recently purchased. The sellers really hook you up with lots of goodies--everything that you need to start playing the guitar, and the candy-apple red color doesn't suck at all!
If this is your first guitar, look no further.July 21, 2008 I had the Fender Starcaster Strat Candy Apple Red for about a month now...and I totally love it! This is my first guitar ever, and I didn't know anything about guitars before, except they sound cool.
The guitar itself is well built, the color is splendid. Maybe some of the details are not top quality (like screws and knobs), but I believe that the overall quality is adequate for a first guitar and it reflects the price. The guitar comes ready to play, all you need is tuning. Again, it is my first guitar and I am not an expert, but the Fender Starcaster Strat sounds fine to me. Somebody complained in other reviews about the guitar not staying in tune: I had no issue so far and I play pretty much every day.
The whole accessory package is nice. You will find everything you need to get started, including a 10W amplifier and a bag for the guitar. When reading other's reviews about this product I remember that some were not satisfied with the amp, some were excited. As usual I believe the truth is in between. The amp is relatively small, but the sound is fine and it has volume, treble and bass knobs, input and headphones sockets. It also has a clean/O.D. switch. The "clean" position offers a crisp sound. The O.D. position is simply a distortion, which is cool, but for some reason it is subject to a lot of electric noise, and the amp pick radio stations...
With this said I only have one suggestion: if this is your first guitar and you wanna start to play and rock, then this is the one to go with. Maybe you won't be able to do amazing solos, but by the time you'll learn how to play them, you will probably want a better guitar anyway.
Although weak in some details, I gave 5 starts to this guitar pack because it is 100% complete and, in my opinion at least, completely satisfactory.
Good guitar, but find a better oneJuly 16, 2008 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
