Great looking paint and stain job. I keep it wiped off with a soft microfiber cloth so that it shines!

Looks and sounds great. Our Instructor says it's a good product. One other student in my class has the same guitar. I read the reviews before making this purchase. The reviews are "spot on".

Your general opinion of this product.
I'm very pleased. I got this as a "scratch & dent" item, only found a few scratches on the pick guard. Looks and sounds great. Would recommend this guitar. Not only is it a great buy (price wise) but I think I will have this for a very long time!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
As a first time guitar owner, it felt heavy and cumbersome, but after a few lessons and learning how to properly hold it, I feel very comfortable with it. As I am a small lady, I was suprised that I feel so comfortable with it after only a few lessons.

Both girls I gave these guitars to said they can fit their hands around the slin neck,and they like the feel of it.

One small, narrow imperfection that was less than 1/2" wide that I am sure no one else will even notice. Maybe it is part of the finish so unsure if it is even an imperfection. Beautiful glossy finish.

This package came just the way it was described. It is my first guitar so all I can say is that it is great for a beginner. I could not find any reason it was sold in the scratch and dent section. It is beautiful. I love the black. I have been practicing and it is even soft to the newbie fingertips.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Not chunky at all. It feels easier to play than the other guitar I was practicing on at first. My fingers hurt a lot more with the one I was borrowing.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
I was told that it sounded good from a more experienced player.

Your general opinion of this product.
I'm just learning (trying) to play the guitar, so the price was right on this one. As a beginner, I am thoroughly impressed with the guitar. My previous guitar was a 3/4 Holiday guitar, a FleaMarket find for $50 that is literally just pathetic compared to this Silvertone.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
For a beginner, it is great. I love that it has little black fret indicators dots on the side of the neck all the way along so that I can look down and have a great reference point.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
It sounded bright and crisp to me. I like it.
Finish

Looks good to me. Shiny, bright finish! And, I have to say that I bought the "scratch/dent" model...I have no clue what it is that was scratched or dented. It looks GREAT to me!
