    4.0 out of 5 stars careful with that axe eugene!, May 6, 2010

    (REAL NAME)   
    Note: this review is for the whole "kit", not just the guitar or the amp. Also, it pertains to all 3 colors; I don't know why they have them as separate packages. (Maybe the sunburst one has better sustain? Ummm...right. Mine is black, if it matters.)

    I noticed people are not reviewing this on Amazon and frankly, that's a shame! They (guitar/amp) are a fabulous instrument. So we're clear, this is a budget and/or noob package but I say that in no way to impugn its quality. It's significantly ahead of any 'Targ-mart' special you can get for only a bit less; then again I got mine on Labor Day special for 1/2 price--awesome!

    Let's get "the missing star" stuff out of the way first:
    - The tone knobs for neck/middle are more like switches. 0-2 is "dark" and 3-10 is bright. There's not much in between.
    - The "tremolo" bar (classic misnomer) and bridge are low-budget so this is upgrade territory. For me, I'm not much into the whammy, so it's moot.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good starter, not much else, February 9, 2011
    This review is from: Squier by Fender Stop Dreaming-Start Playing Set: SE Special w/ Squier by Fender SP10 Amplifier, Black (Electronics)
    Let me first say that 3 stars is all I would ever give a low end learner-type package like this. There is simply too much sacrificed to get the cost down to make the guitar or amp worth anything more than 3 stars. That said, I'd buy this over any other starter package out there with the exception of some Epiphone and/or Gibson packages just because their quality seems to be on par with Fender/Squire. Any of those Target/Wal-Mart guitar packages are 1 star quality, 2 stars on a good day. So 3 stars is still a cut above the rest. I can't give it 4 or 5 stars knowing how great it is to play a quality made Fender Strat or Jaguar.

    The Good: the Strat is very playable. I've compared this to some First Act guitars in the same price range and the Strat, by far, is much more playable. It's far more consistent along the fret board and the pickups offer better tone than other budget guitars. The amp has some built in distortion that can really start to fuzz when you turn it...

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginner Guitar, March 9, 2011

    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Squier by Fender Stop Dreaming-Start Playing Set: SE Special w/ Squier by Fender SP10 Amplifier, Black (Electronics)
    Can't go wrong with this as a beginner guitar. It seems well made and sounds nice. Daughter is 11 and taking lessons for the first time. Not sure if she'll hang with it so didn't want to spend a fortune. She's had the guitar for a little over two months and it seems to be doing fine. The amp is very nice, plenty loud enough and a good quality. The price at Amazon was far better than we could have gotten elsewhere.
