Nice packaging product, got everything you need as a beginner. It is my first guitar and I like it. I'll recommend it to everyone who wants to learn guitar but not sure if you're gonna like playing guitar. Don't buy a cheap one, you'll regret. This guitar is just awesome!

Great Guitar!!!!,

I got this because I wanted to learn acoustic guitar. AND....This is an awesome guitar!! I got it at the Guitar Center, and compared to another guitar the same price(but without the package), a Yamaha, it sounds the same!! The Guitar Center people highly recommended this guitar and I loved the sound of it compared to other more expensive ones. The strap is OK but I'll probably eventually get a new one; the gigbag is great with padding and a big pocket, but I don't use it as I have it hanging on my bedroom wall; the tuner's nice; wish there were more picks because I'm afraid I'll lose the three it came with LOL; and the tuning twisty thingamajig is supposed to be great too except I haven't changed the strings yet so I wouldn't know.....that's just what the guy at the Guitar Center said LOL. The DVD is OK but I'm using a book (Hal Leonard) that's helped me a lot more. The only problem I have with it is I wish it came in multiple colors. Oh, well.
Overall, this is a fantastic guitar...Read more

Paves way for the player to improve,

I don't understand why people purchase $90 guitars. They're cheaply made and doesn't keep strings in tune well, making learning frustrating. This Fender is a great guitar if you're starting out, it keeps strings in tuned well, especially light/medium D'addario strings. It paves way for you to improve. I've own cheaper guitars with a thinner and noticeably weaker mahogany back and sides, but this Fender is thicker and more durable. For a beginner's guitar, this one is definitely worth trying out.
My only complaint would be that the bridge saddle and neck nut height is high. Which raise the strings and you get less tone when playing, also makes holding strings down a bit more difficult, esp harder strings. This you do get used to, but changing them just makes it play better.
