I started playing on an old crappy acoustic guitar that had a huge gap between the strings and fret board. I had to press so hard to get the sound I wanted. After buying this I was astonished at how much easier it was to move around the fret board. The sound is great even from the small amp it comes with. The amp even has a headphone jack to play silently. Everything in this pack is made from quality materials, nothing feels cheap. The finish on the guitar is excellent, and the rosewood fret board is beautiful. It looks and sounds great. If your a beginner looking to step up to a better guitar, this is it. I’m glad I got it.

This guitar set is the PERFECT set up for the beginner. The guitar itself costs 9 on Amazon. This set comes with a small practice amp, cable to attach guitar to amp, nylon guitar strap, a few pics, a guitar tuner, and a gig bag, which by itself sells for . The great thing about this is it is specificlly aimed at the beginner, and comes with everything you need to start playing right away, without having to do homework and figure out the accessories you want/need when as a beginner you don’t really know and aren’t that interested in, you just want to start playing! Well not only is the guitar in this set a really good quality guitar, you get the periphery items that will definitely work for you as you’re just starting out, that you will very much most likely upgrade after you figure out what you want. The amp is a really nice amp. It is small and louder than you’d imagine. It has bass and treble settings, a headphone out jack, and an input that you can plug a standard ipod headphone cable into so you can play your ipod out the amp speaker and “jam” along. The cable that attaches to the guitar and to the amp is about ten feet long, one end is right angled. The amp runs off regular US 120V power. The guitar is much more beautiful in person than you can tell from the picture. It is very well made. Mine had a couple of very very small cosmetic blemishes that are hardly noticible. The sound of the guitar is good as well. It does indeed sound different than my Fender Squire Stratocaster, but not in a bad way at all. It has a “warm” tone to it. It has some heft to it, but is not what I would consider “heavy.” Epiphone is owned by Gibson, and the Epiphone line is much like the Squire line of Fender products; a beginner and cost friendly alternitive while having similar apperance to their much much more expensive brethern. The included tuner didn’t have instructions, and took me messing with it for quite some time to figure out what it wanted, and is quite finnicky. It includes battery. It works fine. The nylon strap that connects to the guitar that you wear over your shoulder is highly adjustable, and could probably be adjusted down or up to fit a small child or a very large adult. The “gig bag” guitar case has a big pocket that you can use to store a couple song books or whatever. It too has a sling strap you can tote over your shoulder, or you can use its handle. The pics it comes with are just as good as any other pics. Mine was shipped in the box shown with a plain brown box with padding surrounding it, so you can order this as a gift and not worry about it being not wrapped. So why order this set for more than just the guitar? Well, as a beginner you don’t really know what you want yet. It’s better to start out with decent, cheaper items and go up from there. Here you have a base to build upon. Since purchasing this set, I’ve upgraded the case to a hard case for travel, bought some new pics, and bought a Snark tuner,(<) and bought a nicer, stylish and more comfortable guitar strap. So for , I figured out what works and what doesn’t. The amp and cable and guitar are great, and in no way are needing upgrades for the beginner. The bag, guitar strap, and tuner work, and are fine, but I quickly grew out of them. All in all, this is very much worth 9!!! -As a side note for any future players interested in self paced guitar instruction, the set I chose after hours of research and is VERY highly reguarded as being excellent for beginners, is called “Learn and Master Guitar.” by Gibson. They have a website and the more complete set which I got is right around 0. They also have it here on Amazon, but I’m not sure if you get all the extra “bonus dics.” Anyway, the instruction is terrific and I never thought I’d be able to play guitar! -As far as the included online instruction that is included with this set, I never used it so I can’t comment on that. Have a great time learning guitar!! 🙂 -Shane ****-UPDATE-**** July 29, 2014 |
