(More customer reviews)It is a nice piece, looks great and sounds it as well. I'm a total amateur so take that with a grain of salt.Be warned though, this item does NOT include strap, cover or cord to connect to amp so be sure to purchase those as well.

39 Inch Metallic Silver Electric Guitar Beginner Kit with 10 Watt Amp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this guitar for my husband last Christmas...unfortunately, they sent the wrong guitar and I had to give it to him a week early b/c their return/exchange policy is so restricted and finite.We ended up returning and not exchanging because of their unwillingness to be flexible during to holiday season with regards to returns and exchanges.Also, the wrong colored guitar had a BIG scuff mark on it and it took FOREVER and several emails (they don't have a phone system) for the company to refund my money.As for the quality... I couldn't tell you.

Austin Bazaar Zebra Stripes Electric Bass Pack with 15 Watt Amp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter asked for an electric bass for Christmas. I asked around and my sons friend recommended Austin Bazaar he said they have some solid and cheap starter packs with amp so I wouldn't have to buy all the extras and you can find out if she is going to like playing first. Needless to say she loves it and it has a great sound too. A friend of hers who has been playing for awhile tuned it for her and didn't want to give it back he said the sound was good and it was solid I recommend this to any parent with a child who wants to try but is not sure they are going to keep playing. The amp is great she plugs in the headset and I don't hear her playing over the tv or my radio

First Act 222 Designer Electric Guitar Pack - White (AL222) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me first start by saying I previously owned a $500 Harmony guitar, which was a beautifully designed guitar with great style and sound.

With that in mind, I was looking for an affordable way for me to get back into guitar playing and casually recording, after about 7 years of not playing.I was hesitant to purchase a "cheapy guitar," as I've been quite snobby about the $500 and up brands, but I have a family now and I am in a limited income to afford such splurges.

This guitar easily blew me away.This is not a cheap imitation of a Fender or a Gibson.It has a very distinctive tone, which I am amazed at.For this price, you won't beat the quality of guitar you're getting.I can't lie and say it holds a candle to the expensive brands, but I can say this guitar is a dark horse in the competitive guitar market, and it has a quality and sound unequaled by other beginning guitars.It has an absolutely brilliant and bright tone.I am pleasantly surprised, and I look forward to playing this guitar for some time to come.

As far as the cons?The guitar itself is very hardy, and sounds wonderful.However, the amp leaves much to be desired.With the tone and gain turned all the way down, the sound is great.However, just one notch either way and it sounds like a malfunctioning loudspeaker at Jack in the Box.

Also, the guitar strap isn't the most comfortable and doesn't latch well to the knobs.This is a cheap replacement, though.The audio cord is very cheaply made, as well, and is quite flimsy.I wouldn't doubt it gets static very soon.It does do it's job, however.I just doubt it will have a long life.

Overall, this is a great guitar, a great value, and I recommend it for the beginner or the casual player, excusing the flaws of it's accessories.

Saga TC-10 T Style Electric Guitar Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The beauty of Leo F's original electric guitar design is that anyone could assemble it's components into a finished electric guitar using hand tools, and basic mechanical skills. That makes kits based on his designs a great idea.

The more time you want to spend learning how to adjust and set up your guitar, the better playing instrument you'll be rewarded with.

I've been playing electric guitar for 30 years, and I did not find anything actually defective in this kit. The pickgaurd was slightly malformed, but it does not affect the playability in the slightest. The pickgaurd and tuners were a little cheap, and I chose to replace them, but they were certainly playable.

The rest of the components were of very high quality, as good or better than anything coming from Fender's Mexico plant. The body has an extra tummy contour on the back, similar to an "S" style guitar, and the bridge is a top loader, instead of Leo's string-thru design.

One area that will require a little more than basic skill and hand tools is shaping the peghead. If you choose to skip this labor intensive, not-for-the-squeamish step, you will be playing your new guitar with a comically large paddle shaped peghead :D

Considering the value for the money, the fun and learning of do-it-yourself, and the quality of the parts, I really wanted to give 5 stars... but the cheap tuners and deformed pickgaurd made it 4 stars.

I never contacted the vendor or Saga for a replacement pickgaurd, so I have no idea what their responsemight have been. I had already chosen to upgrade the pickgaurd in a different color.

Electric Guitar Package - Includes Guitar, Amp, Strap and Instructional DVD SX RST 3TS w/GA1065 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Shipping - They shipped the guitar package to me the next day, and in addition, they used UPS "Quantum" so that I got automatic email updates with the status of the shipment.

Packaging - The guitar and amp were each packaged separately in brown boxes.The boxes did have the words "guitar" and "amplifier" so if they are meant to be gifts, use caution.There was no excessive amount of cushioning, but the packaging was well engineered and meticulous and everything arrived in excellent condition.

Quality - As a beginner, I have no specific knowledge about what makes a guitar a high-quality guitar.But as a consumer, I can tell you that the general fit, finish and construction is excellent.To my eye, everything seems very well made (see tuner note below).Considering the price of this kit, I am really impressed.

Tuner - The included electronic tuner impressed me at first.It seemed like something that could easily sell for $20-30 on its own and it looked well made.Unfortunately is stopped working after a few days.When I notified Rondo Music, they immediately offered to ship me another free of charge with no questions asked.The new one arrived after about a week and so far it is working well.The great service from Rondo more than made up for the disappointment of the broken tuner.

If I do end up sticking with this hobby, I will definately look at Rondo first for future purchases.

Austin Bazaar Transparent Blue Electric Guitar Package with 10 Watt Amp - Beginner Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am writing about the metallic blue guitar combo with the 10 watt amp.As of the time of this writing, the amp I received was not the one in the photo, but the same as the one seen in the photo of the Austin pink guitar combo pack elsewhere on this site.Other than that, everything was as pictured.

I am an adult who is learning the guitar.I have played the bass guitar on and off for years, so I have some familiarity with electric basses.I bought this because it was so cheap and I was willing to take a chance for the money.I am glad I did.The other combos I considered were closer to double the money.

The guitar:It says "Crescent" on the logo, not Austin, which was noted in another review on the Austin store front site.No big deal.The strings on the guitar are crappy, crappy.It did come with 6 replacement strings whichare alsocrappy.It also came with a cheap gig bag, which will work if you only go to lessons and back and dont drop it, and will keep the dust off.The strap is cheap, leave it on the guitar and don't take it on and off.Don't trust it too much, either.I use it sitting down. It came with an amp cord that is OK. The pick is OK, hard to ruin that!Rembember this is a $100+ combo.

The guitar was dusty when I got it like it had been hanging around, not bad, but noticable.The finish is a blue/green sparkle kind of color that I like.(I am tired of black, white and red guitars). There were no mars in the finish. The nut had a very slight gap on one side that did not seem to overty affect anything, but I would prefer to see it flush into the neck.The neck was straight and felt good, although it was marred cosmetically by what looked like rough edges, but were actually smooth to the touch. There is a pick edge sized gap between the neck and body, more so than other guitars that I have but not alarmingly so.The neck does appear to be straight on solid with no movement and even with the body on checking.The fret edges were a bit rough, but not annoyingly so.There is some string buzz, but I think that is a saddle height adjustment issue that needs to be made.The machine heads feel cheap but seem to be holding a tune pretty well for now, I am hoping they hold up.The bridge looks good for a this price range.It came with a whammy bar that I am not using right now.The controls all seem to work pretty well and the 5-way switch is OK. No pot noise or dead spots, no loose or wobbly knobs.Nothing exciting, just very basic.The body is surprisingly heavy--I anticipated a lighter weight guitar.(I am female, so this may not be as much so for a guy)The sound is not bad for a cheapy, I have heard worse.It came with a truss rod wrench and an allen wrench for the bridge.I did have some trouble with adjusting the height on one of the strings--the screw kept slipping on one side of the B string.

The amp:I LIKE this little amp!!Remember it is not the one pictured with this guitar--look for the pink combo elsewhere on the website.This is a slim, lightweight amp with bass, treble, mid, gain, andvolume knobs.There is also a gain button and a headphone jack.All are on the front of the amp for easy reach.The controls work well with no pot noise or dead spots or loose knobs.The amp actually has a clear, sharp sound, surprising kick for its size.It is attractively designed and seems pretty durable.It did come witha very slight ding on the top, which was easily pressed down and glued and is not noticable now.

My combo was not damaged in shipping at all and came at the designatedtime.Is this as good as a Fender combo?Guitar wise probably not quite, amp wise maybe better.If you can get a Squier guitar, get one, if not, and your budget is limited, this combo is very good for the price.I would buy another.

UPDATE:I did buy another Crescent guitar and it is even better than this one!It is also much lighter.
