Questions & Answers

Is there a tuner included in this pack?

You can't physically tune your guitar, but you can use the Fender Tuner app.

Is the guitar and amplifier made in the United States? I'm avoiding Chyna as much as possible. ?

Indonesian made

Is this a guitar that can be played by adults?

This is a full-scale guitar, as the name implies. Is this the information you're looking for? Scottbr>Shamrock Music Shoppe, br>br>Scottbr>Scottbr>Scottbr>Scottbr>Scottbr>Scottbr>S

Is the guitar an affinity or a bullet in the black short scale pack?

Neither. It's a standard that can only be found in the strat pack. It is, in my opinion, a superior tool to affinity. It's also worth noting that this isn't a simple scale. I double-checked the item number on the Fender website, and it's a full twenty-five dollars. The only difference between the two price points listed in this ad is that the more expensive one comes with a humbucker bridge pickup, while the less expensive one comes with three single pickups.

It has a very interesting quality to it, as well as a fantastic sound
5/5

Despite others' claims to the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my guitar's neck and frets are butter smooth. br>Strings are light and bend easily, which I'm not used to because I usually play acoustic guitar with medium-heavy strings. It was refreshing to have a break from the norm: )br>The ONLY issue is that the paint quality is excellent, and the sound is better than expected (especially when I use headphones with the OK quality amp). For both the guard and the trem covers, some of the screws were either slightly crooked or not completely tightened. (I'm leaving them that way because it adds character haha)br>br>Aside from that, very very comfortable in the hand (I have short fingers and fat thumb meat)br>br>Love the sound and my first time playing the tremolo transported me to another world! Playing with this feature is fun. Just to have two, I'd buy it again. br>My first upgrade might be thicker strings in order to improve my muscle memory. br>Otherwise, I'll adore and protect this creature for the rest of its life. The fender bag is a nice touch. br>br>I'm hoping yours is as buttery and well-finished as mine, because it's a real treat. P. br>br>P. br>br>P. br>br>P. The paint was flawless until I touched it, resulting in smears in the photograph.

You get the value for your money
3/5

This is my first guitar, and I chose it because of the convenience of having both a guitar and a guitar amp in one package. The amp is fantastic, and I highly recommend it. However, my guitar's pick guard was scratched all the way down the right side, and the cable isn't the best; it doesn't fit snugly in the guitar on either end, so I had to buy a new one. The amp shown is a Frontman 15G, but this package also includes a Frontman 10G.

For beginners, this is a good complete set, but it needs to be tuned
5/5

I was getting into playing over COVID lockdown, so I ordered this because I couldn't get to a local music store to pick it up. I was looking for a good guitar that was already packaged and ready to ship. Not a mid-level guitar that was thrown in the mail half-finished, only to be damaged in transit. It comes packaged in its own shipping box for that purpose. Then, within the store shelf box, each item is packaged separately. So, if you're sending it as a gift somewhere else, you probably won't be able to do much better because everything arrived in good condition. The guitar and included amplifier are both entry-level Fender products, but the kit includes everything a beginner could need to get started, except instructions on how to use it. However, you can try to learn by registering your guitar online with Fender and receiving free Fender Play online videos. The guitar was out of tune to the point where it was unplayable. Use a clip-on tuner or the free Fender Tuning APP to tune your guitar. That's what I compared it to. My clip-on tuner and both had nearly identical readings, so a novice would not notice or care. There are numerous videos on YouTube that show how to replace the stock with better parts in order to get more performance from the guitar. This is compatible with the video game Rocksmith.

I've always wanted to learn the guitar but never got around to it
5/5

This beginner guitar kit looks great and comes at a great price. I finally made the decision that this was the year to do it. I was overjoyed to come across this set because it contained everything I required. I chose the Candy Apple Red model, which has a very nice look to it, especially with the black pickguard. br>br>The packaging is excellent - The amp, accessories, and guitar boxes are all housed in the outer rectangular box, which fits together like a puzzle piece and keeps everything in place during shipping. They've got a guitar that's been left unplayed. sized box in the package to keep the actual guitar from moving around during shipping, which is great because it cuts down on the amount of Styrofoam used. The guitar is well-wrapped to avoid damage, and scratch-resistant film is applied to the pickguard and humbucker pickup. Once you get it started, the film comes off easily, though I had trouble getting it out from under the volume and tone knobs. br>br>Indonesia produced the guitar in my kit. According to the inspection tag attached to the headpiece, this will happen in March 2020. Everything was in order, and it appeared to be well-constructed. The neck is straight, there is no fret buzz from the strings, and all of the parts are in their proper places. Of course, it needed tuning, but most of the strings (with the exception of low E) were close to being in tune. br>br>The Frontman 15 amp that came with the package was smaller than I expected - Because of the pictures, my mind had scaled it up - However, it is a good piece of equipment for a beginner. Everything is in place, and there are no flaws, just like the guitar. br>br>The guitar has a nice tone to it. When the amp is set to the clean channel, it's very clean, though there is some pickup hum when using either of the single coil pickups individually, which is to be expected. This can be avoided by sitting in the neck/middle or middle/bridge position. The humbucker is nice, and I think it has the best sound so far, but that is just my opinion. I like that the switch has a variety of options so that I can adjust the sound depending on what I want to get out of the song I'm trying to play. The clean channel of the amp is excellent and works well with the guitar. The overdrive is also enjoyable, particularly when the humbucker is used. br>br>The rest of the kit's accessories are adequate but unremarkable. The padded gig bag and guitar strap are both basic black with the Fender logo, though the front pocket (where the backpack strap is initially kept) is a handy place to keep the tremolo bar (when not in use) and zip lock with the Allen wrenches, spring, and extra picks. br>br>I appreciate Fender's inclusion of a three-string guitar. The package includes a month's worth of Fender Play. That is more than enough time to try out a few of their lessons and decide whether or not a monthly subscription is worthwhile. br>br>I would strongly recommend this to anyone who is a complete beginner or who wants a good guitar and amp without spending a lot of money.

A man can't play because the strings are too close together
3/5

The guitar came without a manual, but everything else was in good working order. Please note that the strings on these guitars are so close together that an adult male will have difficulty playing them.

But it's only decent
4/5

My package arrived on time and in good condition, just as I had expected. However, the lightest string came undone while attempting to remove the wrap from the guitar's face. I figured it wouldn't be a problem, so I went about restringing it. It turned out that the string had been put together without a ball end, whereas all of my other strings had one. I'll have to go out and get some new strings now. I suppose you get what you pay for in this case. I tested everything else and it all works perfectly.
