I don’t think I’ve ever written a product review before but I Love it! Don’t even think twice, just get it. I’m figured I’d pick up a starter kit after 40 years of life getting in the way since the garage band days. I did my homework and decided on the BCP after comparing videos and reviews of other sets that were a bit cheaper. The guitars alone on other brands weigh twice as much, a ridiculous 15+ pounds. I couldn’t be happier with the quality and value. Sounds better than expected, looks great, plays well and you’re good to go with the amp, extra strings, tuner, bag, chords….literally everything. I did have a minor issue at first but BCP was great with an easy and quick resolution. Some of those negative reviews online are ridiculous. It’s a $150 full beginner set so be realistic but in my opinion it’s way better than what I expected and they stand behind it. It’s a great deal and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from BCP again.

Beautiful, sounds great, great starter kit, Great guitar Great Price !!

I have now had this package for about three weeks, so I'll write a review about it. This is my first electric guitar. I have played an acoustic for years, and wanted to try out an electric. Overall, it's a great deal. For the price, you can't hope to achieve perfection, and you aren't getting perfection, but you are getting something that is eminently "good enough." This is basically a generic version of a Fender Squier Bullet Strat with Tremolo HSS, which if you buy that costs $130 just for the guitar. I have been playing a lot on this and overall I am happy with it. It sounds great through the various effects pedals I bought. The amp has some nice crunch if you crank it up. I am not a longtime electric guitar player, but the overdrive on the amp sounds pretty good to me.Now the issues:1) the AMP makes noise when it's on, even if you're not playing. I'm not sure if that's normal, but it is a noticeable amount of "fuzzing;"2) there is fret buzz on the 6th string about midway down -- I'm probably going to need to take the guitar in to have the neck adjusted -- but it is not bad enough that I have bothered to do this yet;3) the bag is barely big enough to fit the guitar, and you sort of have to work to fit the zipper over the top prong of the body; and4) it does come untuned, likely because the tuners are not of terrific quality, so if you haven't played for a day or two you are going to want to check your tuning again; also all the strings don't come untuned at the same rate. I tune by ear using the first string usually, and I went about a week at one point without tuning against a machine. Then I tried to play along with a song on Spotify that I know and I quickly realized I had tuned the whole thing down about half a step (at least) from standard tuning. This is not some sort of Gibson that is going to hold its tuning "forever." To me this is not a big deal, because how freaking hard is it to just go to one of the zillion guitar tuner websites and get it back in tune in about a minute.Summary: overall, for the price this is a great product. It looks like a Fender Stratocaster, you get an amp, a bag, a strap, and a guitar for a hundred bucks. You can't beat that. Just understand that a beginner guitar player you give this to, if he/she really gets into guitar, is probably going to asking for an Epiphone Les Paul or for a Fender Squier Telecaster within a few months. If so, that's a good thing. It means this guitar did its job. This is the PERFECT guitar to give as a gift to someone who may or may not end up playing electric guitar as a real serious hobby, and who is trying it out (including if you are "giving" it to yourself, as I was). It looks good, it sounds good, and you won't feel like an idiot if you buy it. If one day you become the next Eric Clapton, I don't expect you'll be taking it out on tour, but that's not the point of this product.

Perfect beginner guitar, my daughter has self taught her self and love it. Really a great piece and looks good as well. The Amp is perfect size and loud!

FIRST - This is not a a paid review. I received no compensation nor discount for this product. I bought it, I tried it, I liked it, I rated it here.In August of 2016 I had a brain fart, "lets buy the boys guitars for Christmas" . We have 7 Grand-kids. the 4 boys came first, then 2 sweet little girls, and one still in the oven.I decided to buy one of these kits just to see if they were any good. WOW was I impressed. I have several guitars and I have play professionally ( and on worship tams for free) so I know what I want a guitar to sound like and feel like and play like.These knock off Stratacasters were just the ticket. After getting the first test guitar set up and tuned and after playing it for about an hour ( I like to play when the guitar is in tune) I ordered 2 more of these kits (2 blue, 1 green per the boys preference) and one junior kit for the youngest boy > RED Junior Kids Mini 3/4 Electric Guitar Amp Starter Pack, Guitar, Tremolo, Amplifier, Gig Bag, Strap, Cable, & DirectlyCheap(TM) Translucent Blue Medium Guitar Pick TO be honest , right out of the box they played terrible. But I could easily see why -- they needed to be "Set Up". This is true for even new expensive guitars - they all need to be set up.This is the process of making sure the neck is aligned and not bowed, then adjusting all of the bridge pieces to get the correct string heights and make sure they are adjusted to the proper mathematical musical length. Depending on how badly these are not set up properly this can take an hour or two, but if you are even a novice player, if you can watch you tube, there are instructions galore on how to set up an electric guitar.Once I get these set up I was very impressed at the play-abiity and intonation of these great inexpensive instruments.For about $100 you (or a child) can be on your way to becoming a player. This is something that you can get a young child that if the interest wanes, just put in away in the closet and in a few years if an interest gets sparked again, its there and waiting for you to have another go at it.For reference, the age ranges of our boys are from 6 to 12. This guitar was just the right size for the 3 oldest and the shorter neck I review as well was the perfect size for the youngest one.( I neglected to consider how short his fingers are at this age, but he will grow into it, and have fun messing around with it until then.)These can carry them from total goof off novice toy to being able to really play in a band in thier youth and not have to buy an expensive Fender or Gibson till they are older and seem to be into playing as a real hobby ( or the next Eric Clapton).The Amp that comes with these is a nice little amp that will be plenty loud enough for starting out.You get everything in the kit to be jammin' right out of the box. I suggest getting the clip on tuner>Snark SN-5 Tuner for Guitar, Bass and Violin As a player and former performer I recommend these units as a great way to get anyone started in playing music with very little expense. If you are not sure about doing the set up your self you can probably find someone in your local area to do this for you at reasonable cost.If you are in my area send me a message and we will see what we can do.In short these are well worth the money to invest in someones musical future!!!!!N8ACU

Awesome deal, great guitar! Shoulder strap that comes with it wont last very long at all. Might want to get another one right off the bat, amp has a loud hum when plugged in to guitar. I'm thinking that its just a cable issue, so cheap fix! Great beginner set up!

Awesome beginner guitar! We were blown away but the quality, it’s a really nice set up. Amp sounds good, and the guitar feels good. Our son loved it!

Everything came as advertised. The amp is nothing great but for a beginner, it does the trick. Guitar seems well crafted. The connection on the guitar for the amp cord has a little play and sometimes gives some static. The only real complaint I have is that the buckle on the guitar strap broke after only a couple of weeks

It seems to be sturdy and well put together. The price certainly was right for someone like myself that is just learning. Delivery was fast as well right to my door.

I was really amazed !!Actually neither me or my daughter expected that guitar would be that good !! I bought this for my daughter and we are really happy. The package arrived within 4 working days ..... that’s fast, isn’t it !!
