4.0 out of 5 stars Be real, this is a good entry guitar, March 28, 2008

I have this guitar pack and I have to say that the number of negative comments is amazing. I am not sure what people expect for $200.00. No! This is not a $1200.00 dollar American made strat, nor is the $500.00 Mexican made strat. It's a low cost made in China strat.

Regardless of where it was made, I found the workmanship to be very acceptable. The guitar is beautiful and the rosewood fretboard is very nice. The whole guitar has a solid feel. My only real complaint is that the center pickup has an unusually low level output. But there is no way I would return this guitar just because of a single pickup. At worst case I'd just have Fender send a replacement. And Yes! As other reviews have noted, the amp hums a little (especially at higher volumes). But, this has more to with the single coil pickups used in the guitar. If you want humbucker pickups, you're going to pay more. Also the amp is just a small 10W practice amp. It works fine for lower volume... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars cool guitar....., December 4, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Starcaster by Fender Electric Guitar/Amp Package - Sunburst Finish
This is a very cool looking guitar.my dad got it for me for an early christmas gift, and i love it! sounds very cool,anything from nirvana to metallica.very pleased.the whammy bar doesn't work too well, or that might be me, but every thing it comes with are great, for a ten watt amp, it really kicks and it is loud!!!!! the tuner is ok,but i bought the sparkly black with brown finger board and pearl pick guard, and it looks amazing. way better than the normal black fender.the one i have also comes with headphones and the adapter for the guitar amp head phone slot.also a very cool guitar stand, which i would recommend.very cool guitar for beginers intermediate guitar players who just want a quality guitar to use.also the over drive sounds really cool. so parents who's kids want a guitar, get this.it comes with everything you need to play!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Value!, December 27, 2008
This review is from: Starcaster by Fender Electric Guitar/Amp Package - Sunburst Finish
What can't be said about this guitar? For under $200 you get the guitar, amp, strap, travel bag, tuner, stand, picks, extra strings, and beginner lesson dvd. All of it feels very nice and on top of that it sounds excellent. The little practice amp can really shake the windows, I was throughly surprised. This of course is all under $200 and this is because of the quality. This isn't a $1200 Fender and you probably wouldn't be playing in stadiums with this thing but to entertain a group of people you have found the right axe. This also isn't a single body American made Fender, it's manufactured in Asia but don't tell anybody else that. Would make a perfect gift for a beginning guitarist. I have been playing acoustically for a year now and this is my first electric and I couldn't be any happier.
