A Great Value for a Solid Instrument
I've been trying to seriously begin playing the guitar for a while, and I bought this one in hopes that spending money on an electric would motivate me more than just using the acoustic that I never had a rapport with. I bought this Silvertone as a starter kit, just looking for something solid and inexpensive. I settled on this one because most of the other guitars in the price range were Austin Bazaar, and Austin Bazaar seems to make very low-quality starter kits in hopes that people who don't know better will buy them.

This guitar has done exactly what I wanted, I can't stop playing it. It comes with everything you need as a beginner--it's already stringed (with light gauge strings, which are good to start with), has a spare set of them as well, picks, amp, tuner, and cable. The only thing you could possibly want added would be a distortion pedal, but a beginner has bigger things to worry about.

I have had no problems at all with the guitar. It is solid and well-built, very satisfying to play. This is probably the best deal you can find on a starter kit.

SImply, bad...
Ok, here's a list of what makes this a bad guitar:
1- The strings don't feel right. Specially the 6th string. It hits the fret board and makes an annoying sound even if you strum lightly.
2- The amp is not clear.
3- The tuner messes the tuning instead of adjusting it.

On the other hand, it has some advantages:
1- The picks are good. They come with different colors.

Conclusion:
Don't buy! Unless it's you 1st guitar and you don't want to spend much money. However, if it's your first time with guitars, I recommend buying an acoustic. Many very good acoustics are sold with cheap prices.

Thanks for reading. I hope this was a helpful review.

Great value, great sound.
Silvertone guitar and amp played great AND the amp has a headphone jack as well as an input to play along with my iPod. Very cool feature!
