Great guitar January 8, 2009
This guitar is a nice beginner guitar. It looks great and the amp that comes with it has a good sound. I bought it for a gift at the prompting from a friend, and it was very well received.
 Nice starter kit January 4, 2009
Bought this for my 12 yr. old nephew, the budding rock star. As a first guitar and amp, the price is right, and the amp tone is sufficient. The guitar itself has surprisingly decent action, hardware, the neck is tight and a nice wood color. It feels solid enough to withstand the rigeurs of his first sold out worldwide tour next week. OK, it certainly is not going to satisfy true strat fans, but a kid starting out needs to learn the basics first. So far I have him doing scales only with the included headphones, otherwise the first squawk from the amp will have his mother throwing it out. The kid is grinning ear to ear when he straps the sucker on. Recommended purchase.
holding up really well January 4, 2009

For someone just starting out, this is an excellent buy.
I bought mine in 2004 when this package first hit the market. Still works great. The action (the space between the strings & fretboard) has held up well. The electronics have held up on mine, although the one I bought was made in Indonesia; not sure if they are still made there or in China.
Everything that came with it is still working great (tuner, strap, cord, amp, gig bag).
When it is new, it goes out of tune quite frequently, not only from the strings being new; but also since this is a $200 bundle, the hardware is not what you'll find on a $700 Strat.
My musician friends all agree that the Starcaster sounds and plays close enough to a Stratocaster that you could do ameteur performances with it; but doubt that you'll ever see a Starcaster at a paid gig.
If the Strat style is not your thing, check out the First Act Paul Westerberg signature model.
Now that I've made the jump to another guitar, I still use this one when I travel and have taught myself how to adjust the neck, action, and change hardware. So it is not only great to learn to play, but also great for learning how to maintain, adjust, upgrade, and repair a guitar.

I was thrilled to receive my fender starcaster starter kit. It was delivered in just 2 days even though it was around christmas time. Everything just looked perfect inside. I have never had any problems when i shop at amzon. They offer the best prices not just for the item but also the shipping and taxes. Weather its books, electronics, households, toys etc. they give you the best deal and their customer service is also awesome. I will write another review when i start playing my guitar. But overall i would give them 5 on 5 for an excellent service.
 Would be great.... if it worked December 27, 2008

I got this for my husband after reading varying reviews. I had my fingers crossed we would be lucky however, the guitar is defective and cuts in and out with the amp. My husband did some research and decided there is a loose wire somewhere in the guitar. We have decided to return this and go with a higher priced guitar and amp. I am so disappointed, my husband loved it, and it would have been a great set for him to get his feet wet with an electric guitar, but I read several reviews of people having the same problems and it isn't worth the risk. The candy apple red is really pretty and you sure do get a lot of bang for your buck... just needs to work!!!
