William Atkins Said: Pretty good guitar for a kid! ( May. 23rd 2009 )
My parents gave me this guitar for christmas, and I've had this guitar for about 5 months now,and I have loved and hated some things about the guitar. let's start with the short list, the hated. Hated: The strap is garbage, The wammy bar causes the guitar to go insanely out of tune, for about 2 weeks the frets cut your hands to shreds, When using one pickup, the amp makes a really annoying buzzing sound, so use the second to bottom or top setting on the pickup selector switch. The guitar does also go out of tune fairly easy by itself. Now onto the loved: EXTREMELY STURDY AND STRONG. My guitar was dropped by one of my friends onto a concrete floor and the only damage done was a small chip in the finish by the neck. Amp is fantastic for it's size. Loud enough to fill a gymnasium full of screaming students. The tuner is fantastic, and the picks are incredibly strong. Strings sound good and are strong. Extra strings are a good bonus, just make sure you put them on right. Overall a great guitar package for about $200, I'd recommend to any beginning guitarist. With a name like Fender, you can't go wrong!
Matthew C. Schonert Said: Great for the price. ( Apr. 30th 2009 )
I bought this as a starter electric after having learned on an acoustic. It's great for the price. The guitar: -After a few days I could tell the tremolo bar wasn't going to last very long so I completely unscrewed it and do not use it. So don't plan on using that heavily for very long, it's not made in a fashion to last. That's one of the ways the price is kept down on the guitar, I'm sure. The pickups and bridge definitely will need adjustment so find a good place online to learn about that, or hopefully you know someone who knows guitars or you know them yourself. After a few months one of the wires to the jack broke off, somehow, and I did have to solder that back on. I couldn't say how common of a problem that might be. It's recommendable that you keep the jack input nut tight to the guitar and don't let it get to where the jack can spin freely at all. Otherwise the tension will go to the wires connecting to the jack and that's probably what caused my problem, so lesson learned. If you can afford a higher quality strat and don't want any little hassles like that, then spend the extra bucks. But, if you're like me, and willing to put a tiny bit of work into keeping it working, the price to quality ratio is definitely in your favor. It's probably better for a first electric than something higher quality and more expensive anyways, because you're not so afraid to tinker around with it, take it apart and find out what makes it tick. I've had it for about 3 months now and have consistently been playing it at the very least 7 hours a week and still happy. The Amp: -It does its purpose. Not a very good amp, but it's solid, and doesn't have much to complain about. You know what you're getting there; A cheap little amp. The guitar strap: -Don't trust it. It will slip off the strap buttons; First day. Get some strap locks for it, or get a better strap. The tuner: -completely cheap and not even worth using. I put it up against a good/reliable tuner and it didn't even have the correct read on the pitch. I'm not sure what's going on there but I basically threw mine away. It looked like it was about to fall apart out of the package, basically. I recommend buying a different one straight away before the guitar even arrives, or tuning by ear is better. The four stars are based on the assumption that you're someone who is willing to get the screwdriver out once or twice and mess around with it. It's based on the fact that you're not needing the little things like the strap and tuner to be perfect out of the box. If that's for some reason important to you, then consider this a 2-star review. The four stars is also probably based on the fact that you either A: know some things about guitars already, B: know someone else who does, or C: are very resourceful and good at making something cheap work to its greatest ability. Hope this has been helpful.
o'neal lane Said: servicable , but also beware ( Apr. 3rd 2009 )
I have viewed several of these instruments. They are of general good quality. A particular flaw is that often the ends of the frets extend outward form the neck wood and create very sharp irritating surface. Some posters here mention the identical problem. It's a quality control issue, that manufacturer should address. Fender Stratocaster necks are typically very smooth and well finished. If your frets are not smooth to the neck, send it back. Otherwise this is a great quality basic intro instrument.
Kid rocker Said: fun for learning ( Mar. 13th 2009 )
Solid,good,kit for the price. Whole family has enjoyed learning to play. Perfect "1st" guitar.
Joshua Fleet Said: okay for a starter set ( Mar. 6th 2009 )
I give this four stars for a starter set. the guitar, overall plays pretty well. It's a fender, of course it plays well. but, the 6th string and the 3rd string go out of tune VERY quickly. like, maybe two minutes after play without a tune up. the strap is a firestarter, good for about 2 months of regular play. the amp is great, good clear sound, even when its turned way up. the cable is also cheap, but fixable. it broke down after 3 months. Personally, since I had been playing with my acoustic for about a year and a half previous to buying this, I regretted it. If you're alreay an intermediate guitarist, go for quality, not everything in one package.
