Subject:Good starter guitar package
Quality: Neck and body feel very durable and solid. Not heavy or too light. Neck is smooth to do those quick slides.
Reliability: I've had this guitar for almost a month. So, its test of time will tell in short order, I guess. Nothing was broken when I got it nor has any thing been broken while I've been playing.
Overall: This package is one heck of a deal. I got a great beginner guitar and an anp all in one. The guitar sounds great. The amp will suffice enough for anyone who wants to play guitar. The override feature lets you jam at a high level or mainly with a thick bassy sound when not depressed. When I have the guitar only on 2 I get a monster sound out of a little 15 watt amp. What more can I want out of an amp without spending bunches of money? The one downer I do have to say about this package is the DVD. I thought it was going to have something like a dummie's how to play chords on it (akin to how guitar hero or rock band is setup). Boy, I was badly disappointed. If you haven't been around a stringed instrument like a guitar or bass, then the DVD is for you. Otherwise, it is a waste of time to watch.
Playability and Feel: For me, I like a fat, low, and bassy sound to when I play. Hence, the rhythm portion on the guitar is always on for me as I play. Like I've before, the neck is smooth enough to do fast slides and passages. However, for a beginner, I don't think one would want to start doing that until your fingers get adjusted with the blistering from the strings. Even doing simple things as a chord has blistered my fingers--I've played bass for nearly 5 years and never had this happen!!! Two knobs are good enough for me. They are in easy reach as I play, but I don't employ them as often yet since I'm still learning.
Tone: Bright and snappy definitely describe the pickups for sure. Use the tremble switch on the guitar and pluck a few strings.
Finish: I really got this version because of the classic look. Pictures can be very deceptive. Good looking guitar.
Action: Pretty good. I'm thinking of adjusting it slightly when I put on some new strings. Otherwise, the action is on the guitar and my bass feel nearly the same.
