Full Size Acoustic Guitar with Free Carrying Bag - Natural

I hesitated buying this guitar for my grandson when I saw a few negative reviews, but when I checked the list, the 5- and 4-star reviews were double the negative ones, so I decided to purchase it.

I realize it's not the best on the market, but a beginner doesn't need the best. Kids often think they want to play the guitar, then later change their minds in favor of drums or something else that catches their eyes. With that in mind and the economical price and the accessories, it was a no-brainer decision. Besides, it's quite stylish in a neutral way; not glittery and showy like some guitars I've seen; more suitable for a 12-year-old.

When I saw Johnny's face light up when he opened his birthday gift ... well, that was priceless to me. It's three months later and he's still smiling, so I consider this one of my best investments.

He's learned a few songs already and is constantly in his room, practicing. Since the sound is good, the noise doesn't bother me. I'd much rather hear him play than listen to blaring rap music. :)

One reviewer complained about the carrying bag, but that didn't worry me at all. It was still a good value, with or without the bag, and we've had no problems yet.

I recommend this to beginning guitarists, no matter how old. If they stick with it and decide to go professional, they can go on to more expensive equipment later.

Fender Starcaster Strat Pack Electric Guitar with Amp and Accessories - Candy Apple Red

Its just amazingly perfect for playing at home!!

It includes everything. And I mean everything that you might need. Its not even mentioned in the product description that a headset is also included! Which is totally what I needed as I play it for hours and hours and I should not be disturbing others. Amp is cool, its loud enough for home use. It has Bass and Treble effects as well which is very cool. A guitar stand is also included which makes it easy to keep the guitar when not in use.

About the guitar itself, it needed a bit of tuning when I took it out of the box, but that was again very easy with the chromatic tuner provided. After that tuning its just been sounding inch perfect!

Everyone around me is in love with this guitar. Trust me it won't let you down. A fender is always a good choice! Specially if it comes with all the accessories for a really great price!

I recently got this Starcaster Strat pack and am impressed with the quality of the instrument given the price. There's a ton of cheap beginner guitar packs available now, and I've tried several of them in stores and eventually settled on the Starcaster as the best value. None of the cheaper models had the same quality of hardware, the same playability or sounded near as good. Mine came well setup out of the box with only some tuning required. The intonation on mine was even setup correctly. It isn't up to the quality of a real Stratocaster, but it really isn't too far off the quality of a Fender Squire strat. The amp that comes with it is fine for starting out, but it is pretty underpowered, and most players would soon want to step up. That's really the only complaint, and in a starter electric guitar pack, an underpowered little amp is par for the course. The five stars I'm giving it here is relative to other instruments in this price range, and at that standard I don't think you can do better than this.
