I ordered this pack for me to learn to play on, It arrived the next day even in all the bad snow we have had so 5/5 for that, a very nice looking guitar sounds good the amp is not as high quality as the guitar, ok for me to learn on but one of the first things I would look to replace (when I can play ^_^), It seams to keep pretty good tuning, I have a Korg GA-30 tuner and I use it before I practice and I have only had to adjust them a bit each time so over all I would give this pack 8/10 (has a nice stand and bag and came with 3 medium picks)

Just got this pack to day its the first time playing the guitar too.

The guitar looks better than i thought it would good solid body not a mark on it and was set up and ready to go. 8/10

The amp well its smaller than i thought it would be no effects just an input output volume treble bass and a button for clean and OD what ever that is. 3/10

now the dvd is good simple just what i needed to start out with 9/10

The tuner well it does the job but it takes a 9v battery 3/10

the guitar stand small and sweet does the job well 7/10

the only thing this pack is missing it some picks i would of thought they would of been some in(

overall not bad for £160

It its important to know that the guitar is made of two different woods and what kinds of wood they are. This will help you find what kind of guitar you want. This guitar consists of an agathis body and a rosewood fret-board. Agathis is believed to exist in the pine family and similar to mahogany. The only difference between mahogany and agathis, is the agathis is said to be the \"lazy man\'s\" mahogany meening its cheaper and has less quality. Even though there is that difference, it still plays and sounds great. The fret-board again, is made of rosewood. Rosewood is known for its high velocity sound. It is an average/common guitar wood used for a lot if not most fret-boards on electric guitars. The amp is decent but not an extremely rockin amp. Everything else is okay. This is a good guitar for a beginner or just to practice with. Gigs can be done with this guitar but not common. Most people do gigs with better guitars. This set itself is a great deal and a topselling product at \"guitarcenter.com\". I hope this has helped you.
