Tremendous value on a budget.
Color: Orange
For the money, it is a great deal, however you'll want to spend some time or money on a proper setup. All I did was loosen the strings, checked the frets with a fret rocker, tapped about a dozen of them gently with a tiny rubber mallet, and it plays better than one of my much more expensive Squires. The pickups are lower output, but clean and clear with crisp mids and treble, for a beginner, that's perfect. I own two Aklot guitars now and both of them are very surprising, punching well above their weight in terms of value per cost. Other than some highish frets, the fretwork is great, the neck is smooth. Some of the adjustments you might make are usually due to being built in a different climate with different humidity and temperature. I haven't needed to do any filing, buffing or polishing. I planned on swapping the pickguard and the electronics, but when it came it was beautiful, much better than the photos. I may keep it stock for a while. It came with roller string trees installed and a coil split for the humbucker, which is a great feature for a Strat style guitar. The output jack is nice and firm. The intonation was about 95% perfect, only some tiny adjustments on the D string bridge screw and it's wonderful. Get some fretboard oil, a tiny rubber mallet, and a fret rocker. There are great resources online to guide you through a setup. You should always expect to do some work on any new guitar, even very expensive guitars. This was one of the easiest new guitar setups I've ever done. For the cost, It's fantastic. I don't think there's anything better at this price point. 10/10 would buy again, and I might. ... show more

Everything you need including quality!
Color: Sunburst
Not only is the guitar itself of good quality but so are the accessories it comes with. The amp is nice and could likely be $30 on its own. The gig bag has nice padding and fits EVERYTHING snugly! Even the cable is thicker and not the thin wire junk they usually send with cheap or sometimes even not so cheap guitars. As you can see in the photos, I am able to put everything in the case and even use the nice bag they sent to put the amp in. 2 actual books are included, which is nice. Also a tuner, polish cloth, picks, strap, and extra set of strings should one break. This makes a very nice portable kit that I wish I had when I started playing 40 years ago! I lowered the action using the grub screws on the saddles and have done a lot of bending and whammy action and it stays in tune as well as any non-locking trem can! It sat in the bag for a couple of weeks. I went back to it and it was in tune when I picked it up. All the switches in knobs feel good and solid. Finish on the body is very well done and beautiful. I can see real wood grain on the neck. Rosewood finger board with glow in the dark dot inlays top it off nicely. I'm actually a bit picky. I just wanted a cheap strat because I miss my first guitar and the strat tones I could get from the 5 position switch. This is nicer than I expected and the portable rechargeable amp has been super handy. I have to wonder if these are going to be like Firefly where they used to be dirt cheap on Amazon and now their rivaling big names in resale price. I don't know. All I know is I like this one and the price I paid for it. I definitely recommend for beginners or anyone who wants a lot of guitar for a little money. ... show more

Great kit with EVERYTHING you need to guit down!
Color: Orange
This is a nice set with EVERYTHING you need to start out. The setup on the guitar was OK as it came but had pretty high action. I wanted to get it perfect though and had to do some work on the guitar and now it truly plays great! One of the tuners seems like it doesn't work quite as well as the others (somehow more touchy and less responsive at the same time) but works fine. It's just a bit more quirky than the others. The roasted maple neck looks lovely and feels great. You get a good guitar, a nice gig bag, a tuner, a nice little amp (which has a rechargable battery and good battery life and is plenty loud enough for playing at home), a strap, an extra set of strings, some picks, and a cable to connect to the amp. Everything you need to make some sweet music you get! Also, there is a book of basics, on how to change strings, what the pickup switches do, how to adjust the truss rod, and other VERY useful things to know for a new guitarist. There is also a book on practicing and learning the basics for someone who has never played guitar before. The type in this book is pretty small and somewhat hard to read though. I do have to mention that the cable died after it's first use. It worked when I got it and tested everything out. When used a few days later it worked intermittantly. After that it simply did not work. I had other cables though, so not a big deal. I didn't buy the kit needing the cable, but it was nice to have it included. It appears to be decent quality cable, in that it is standard thickness and not super thin like the cheapest of cables. But it did not last past a couple of very light uses. I'm very happy with this kit! I wish something like this existed many many years ago when I first got a guitar! I give 4.5 stars because basically any guitar is going to need some tweaking to set it up real nice which requires time and know-how or money. Also, the bad cable. So not perfect, but very very good! ... show more

Sounds Amazing
Color: Purple
bought it for my nephew an he likes it. the little 10watt amplifier speaker might not be able to handle high volume too well playing Rock/heavy metal music mite hear some clipping so be careful with that. regular play it's good an clean like if you don't wanna disturb anyone in a apartment building or office space. if you wanna rock the house an hear how well it plays everything just upgrade to a slightly bigger or whatever electric guitar amplifier you feel like getting that can handle all ranges at high volume 25watts an up.. comes with everything you see in the pictures an a good guitar for new players looking to get into playing for the right price. solid build quality ... show more

Saw it on Scar my Guitar
Color: Sunburst
This guitar is beautiful and plays very well. Wish guitars like this were around 55 years ago when I started learning. This is levels above the cheap choices I had back in 1969-70. Setup was almost perfect out of the box. Intonation was spot on. Neck was straight, action was set to recommended specs. Could be fine tuned to get a little lower but not needed. Tuners are the best I've seen and used on guitars that cost 3-5x as much. Roasted maple neck is smooth and quick. Mine came with light gauge strings (9.5-44). This actually plays better than my Gibson Les Paul Studio and stays in tune better. Excellent guitar especially for less than $150.00. Nice gig bag included comes with neck and saddle adjustment tools, extra set of strings(I put d'addario's on instead) and the little amp included is usable for practice. Overall it's a no brainer for me. ... show more

Quality at a decent price !!
Color: Orange
The first one I got had a low angle cut nut which was unplayable , returned it for another one , the exact same ! Arrived yesterday, let it sit for 6 hours , tuned it ,and it played beautifully, straight neck, polished frets,a set of new strings , intonation perfect ,ready to go ! Love the color (more of a fiesta red), mini amp,cable,strap,picks,tuner ! This truly the golden age of guitars ! You dont have to waste your hard earned money on Fenders or Gibsons ! (No wonder why they have filed court issues , because all kinds of lesser name companies are making better guitars for the money) Fenders debut’s, have marginalized body thickness that won’t fit a decent bridge block ! Their names are not selling like they used to ! Thank-you Amazon for a vast product selection of quality guitars. 👍 ... show more

Perfect out of the box
Color: Black2
For a beginner guitar this is a tremendous value. The intonation and string height were perfect straight out of the box. Fit and finish was perfect also with very minimal fret sprout which can quickly be addressed with a file. If you have an adolescent at home that wants to try their hand at guitar, don’t pass up this deal. ... show more

Too bad
Color: Orange
I ordered the "Blaze Orange" finish... and that is what it said on the sticker on the coffin box. But the guitar inside was a tiger stripe sun-burst finish... this is an obvious problem with whomever mixed it up a the manufacturer. The selector at Amazon did their job and picked the right box according to the sticker on the outside, but without opening it they wouldn't have known the guitar inside was a different finish than the box sticker indicates. Very frustrating. I had to drive fifty miles to return it. Now that the refund has been issued the price on the orange guitar has gone up and there's is a warning posted on the Blaze Orange model stating that it is frequently returned... I'm sure the finish mix up has a lot to do with that. I'd try to re-order, but it's not worth risking getting the wrong one again. ... show more
