Best Choice Products 39in Full Size Beginner Electric Guitar Starter Kit w/Case, Strap, 10W Amp, Strings, Pick, Tremolo Bar - Jet Black

I purchased for my son for Christmas. He was very happy and surprised when he opened it. He's a beginner guitar player. He's teaching himself how to play. I added this guitar to the one he already has. He tuned it. It sounds great!

Love! Love! Love this guitar! The amp sounds a little scratchy, but if you are looking for something inexpensive to see if you really want to pursue playing the guitar without spending a lot of money, this is for you. I wasn’t sure if the powdered blue color was going to be too cheap looking or not, but it turns out it’s a really nice color.

Great buy very pleased! Daughter was so happy! Question is it supposed to come with 4 months of free lessons where can I locate that?

After a set-up, that I prepared, very satisfied with the guitar and small amplifier. Good looking guitar also.

Nice little set up

Surprising how well it plays for low price highly recommend it just obviously feels a little cheap

FIRST - This is not a a paid review. I received no compensation nor discount for this product. I bought it, I tried it, I liked it, I rated it here.In August of 2016 I had a brain fart, "lets buy the boys guitars for Christmas" . We have 7 Grand-kids. the 4 boys came first, then 2 sweet little girls, and one still in the oven.I decided to buy one of these kits just to see if they were any good. WOW was I impressed. I have several guitars and I have play professionally ( and on worship tams for free) so I know what I want a guitar to sound like and feel like and play like.These knock off Stratacasters were just the ticket. After getting the first test guitar set up and tuned and after playing it for about an hour ( I like to play when the guitar is in tune) I ordered 2 more of these kits (2 blue, 1 green per the boys preference) and one junior kit for the youngest boy > RED Junior Kids Mini 3/4 Electric Guitar Amp Starter Pack, Guitar, Tremolo, Amplifier, Gig Bag, Strap, Cable, & DirectlyCheap(TM) Translucent Blue Medium Guitar Pick <TO be honest , right out of the box they played terrible. But I could easily see why -- they needed to be "Set Up". This is true for even new expensive guitars - they all need to be set up.This is the process of making sure the neck is aligned and not bowed, then adjusting all of the bridge pieces to get the correct string heights and make sure they are adjusted to the proper mathematical musical length. Depending on how badly these are not set up properly this can take an hour or two, but if you are even a novice player, if you can watch you tube, there are instructions galore on how to set up an electric guitar.Once I get these set up I was very impressed at the play-abiity and intonation of these great inexpensive instruments.For about $100 you (or a child) can be on your way to becoming a player. This is something that you can get a young child that if the interest wanes, just put in away in the closet and in a few years if an interest gets sparked again, its there and waiting for you to have another go at it.For reference, the age ranges of our boys are from 6 to 12. This guitar was just the right size for the 3 oldest and the shorter neck I review as well was the perfect size for the youngest one.( I neglected to consider how short his fingers are at this age, but he will grow into it, and have fun messing around with it until then.)These can carry them from total goof off novice toy to being able to really play in a band in thier youth and not have to buy an expensive Fender or Gibson till they are older and seem to be into playing as a real hobby ( or the next Eric Clapton).The Amp that comes with these is a nice little amp that will be plenty loud enough for starting out.You get everything in the kit to be jammin' right out of the box.I suggest getting the clip on tuner>Snark SN-5 Tuner for Guitar, Bass and Violin< and a pack of extra picks. My preference are standard size, medium to thin and if you can find the ones that aren't smooth they will be less likely to slip out of your fingers.As a player and former performer I recommend these units as a great way to get anyone started in playing music with very little expense. If you are not sure about doing the set up your self you can probably find someone in your local area to do this for you at reasonable cost.If you are in my area send me a message and we will see what we can do.In short these are well worth the money to invest in someones musical future!!!!!N8ACU

Purchased this as a beginner bundle for my 13 year old. Everything looks great, but the patch cord/cable doesn't fit the guitar - it's pretty loose, causing next to no connection with the amp. Cable fits great into the amp, though. If there was a proper adapter for the cord into the guitar, I'd be willing to edit my review.
