Very nice beginners' guitar.

Review Date: December 5, 2008

Reviewer: M. Wang, CT United States

This is a very nice guitar package for beginners. The guitar itself is solid and holds the tune well. The overall package also represents a fantastic value. Everything one needs is there, including a tuner, a stand, picks and even spare strings. The instructional DVD is quite nice as well. I have no problem following the courses so far. The lessons only cover the basic chords, but still enough to get one started.

The price here fluctuates, but tends not to be very competitive. Some buyers have even received used guitars posing as new. Check out overstock.

Great deal depending on need

There must be a few versions, because some seem to have a stand and some not.
Mine was made in Indonesia, not China.

The construction and sound at this price is very good.
The assessories are poor to fair. Get a Korg CA-30 chromatic tuner which is not a lot of money.
Change the strings to lighter gauge coated strings. They are worth the extra $.
I highly recommend this for a beginner or player with limited funds.
I changed out the stock Fender strings which sound okay but leave a lot of corrosion on your fingers.
I have been using a lighter (11-52 and 12-53) gauge coated Ernie Ball set which I like.

After awhile, three weeks, I started getting a fret buzz on the two highest strings when fretting near the nut (low) end.
After some messing around with the tension a bit, I noticed that the nuts holding the tuners were loose and tightened them which helped. That could be because I live in a very dry climate and the wood shrank.
Loosening the tension rod about a quarter turn solved my problem.
Going to the lighter strings probably relieved some force on the neck, so caused a slight "hump" in the neck.
Loosening the tension rod allowed the neck to flatten.
If you have buzzing at the frets, try flexing the neck back and forward.
If the buzz goes away when the is neck flexed forward, loosen (to the left) the tensioning nut.
If the buzz goes away when you pull the neck back toward you, then tighten the nut.
Adjust in 1/8 turn steps or you can really damage the instrument.
There may be a slight dead spot, play, between tightening and loosening when adjusting the tension.
If you do not understand this then do not attempt the adjustment.
Take it to a music store if you are not handy.
Even expensive guitars can need adjustment due to humidity, string changes, or high action, so it is nothing to criticize this guitar about!

As far as the missing stuff, obviously open box, no tension adjustment, and other comments of a negative nature, I wouldn't accept any of that either, nor would I try to correct it twice. If the guitar played and looked fine, I wouldn't send it back. The assessories are not a deal maker. A decent guitar is. Fender should pay more attention these complaints. Just because it is cheap doesn't mean it has to be crap.

Mine looks, works and sounds better than I would have expected. The action is pretty good too. It is not a Taylor or Martin. If I wanted one of those I would get it from a music store.

Good starter pack

Reviewer: FrogThinker, MA USA

For less than a $100, you get the guitar, picks, a strap, an electronic tuner, extra strings and an instructional DVD. It's good enough to start learning and summer nights around the campfire. It's definitely not great but for the price it's unbeatable. If you plan to carry the guitar around, the gig bag is really bad, consider a case.

great Guitar
