Quality:	So-so. It's a beginner guitar. you get what you pay for. Everything is cheap on it. I hope it will survive at least one tumble of the stand. BEWARE! Needs a fret job bad! The edges are as sharp as razors.
Reliability:	The input jack is junk. I need to take it apart for my son to bend this cheap metal contact back in place every so often, otherwise the cord falls right out. The controls, pickups and switch work otherwise.
Overall:	I bought this for my 9-year old son who was outgrowing his Mini-Strat. I chose this one because he wanted a white guitar and I figured another amp couldn't hurt. I expected low-end but this is lame. The amp doesn't even work. DOA. I doubt it's worth getting fixed because the shipping costs will be more than the cost of a new amp. I should've bought another Fender guitar for him.
Playability and Feel:	Get out the bandaids. I had to file the frets edges because they were so sharp. I can't believe this thing passed quality control.
Tone:	eh. Good enough for kids.
Finish:	I bought the white model. The finish scratches very easily and was cracked about an inch at the neck joint. Within about an hour of playing, the painted had started to yellow in some small places where your hands or arms would rub. I had to convince my son the "worn" look was cool. Which it is.
Action:	It frets-out above the 12th fret.
Skill Level:	Beginner
