Product Description

The highly versatile Stratocaster guitar offers legendary Fender tone combined with classic styling, and it's suited for all styles of music. It features a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position inlays, three single-coil pickups with 5-way switching for the Strat's trademark tonal variety, sealed die-cast tuners for consistent tuning stability, chrome hardware and a three-ply white pickguard. The synchronous tremolo bridge can be used for subtle shimmery manipulation of chords or hard-core whammy-bar excursions. You'll also get a wide range of tones from the single volume and dual tone controls. The Squier SP-10 amp controls include volume, treble, bass, and an overdrive on/off button that delivers tube-like tone. A headphone output allows silent practice. It features a 6-inch speaker, 10-watt drive, and a tough, textured vinyl exterior. No need to shop for the accessories as they're all included. The package includes an extra set of strings, some guitar picks, a strap, and an instrument cable. And of course you'll need a stand for setting down your instrument securely, and a gig bag for hauling it around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Guitar Package!, March 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Fender Starcaster Electric Guitar Pack with Amp and Accessories, Candy Apple Red (Electronics)
I am a bass guitar player, and own/have owned several bass guitars, including a Fender Mustang and currently a Fender Precision (Sting signature series). I have also owned a Fender Squier (6-string) guitar before. We ordered the Starcaster guitar package for my middleschool daughter.

It's a great guitar with great sound; honestly, the sound is fantastic. And there are a lot of peripheral items included at a fabulous price. We've had no problems at all with the cord or amp, and the sound that little amp makes it really clear. Hit the overdrive, and you get a nice distortion sound. You can't control the amount of overdrive (it's either on or off), but for a beginner or for household use, it's perfect. The compact guitar stand is very stable for its size.

A few other reviewers have criticized the guitar for string buzz. Well, you can adjust the bridge very easily. The package even includes the little hex-wrench needed to make the adjustment yourself. (Anyone that... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Start For A Beginner Guitarist, July 15, 2009
This review is from: Fender Starcaster Electric Guitar Pack with Amp and Accessories, Candy Apple Red (Electronics)
I read all of the product reviews before buying this guitar and finally decided it would be worth the risk. And I was right, it was worth it. The shipping box came with a few dings in it, but the product is packed very well. There was absolutely no damage to anything inside the box. As a beginning guitarist, I think the product is excellent. The little amp seems to have a lot of volume and good tone, and the guitar is very well made from what I can tell. It sounds good, feels good, and plays very well. And contrary to everything I read, the frets are not sharp on the ends. In fact mine are beveled and smooth.

I do however have two small complaints. It seems like everyone has either the red or starburst colors, so I opted for the midnight blue. Well, it's midnight alright. It's so dark, that you need a really bright light or sunlight just to be able to tell it's not black. And then it looks more of a dark purple than blue. My second complaint was a buzz from the 5th (A)... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Fender Strat Pack, April 8, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Fender Starcaster Electric Guitar Pack with Amp and Accessories, Candy Apple Red (Electronics)
I ordered this product as it was a featured product during the month of February 2009. I feel that the product that I got for the sale price was very much worth the money.

Please understand that I am a novice electric guitar player. I have played acoustic guitar for several years and wanted to get a 2nd guitar...an electric guitar...to play around with.

All in all, the guitar is perfect for what I need. I am not out playing gigs or anything, but I love to sit down and play this instrument.

The pack came with the guitar, amp, guitar strap, picks, a tuner, a gig bag, an extra set of strings, and a "how to" DVD.

A great value for the quality of the product!
