MGR/Anonymous « Squier Strat Pack »
Published on 03/21/03 at 15:00i bought this guitat at a local guitat shop for about 280 minus tax. i bought it because i thought that picking up guitar would be a great way for me to expand my song writing and i wanted an okay quality instrument.
this is an excellent guitar pak for beginners especially teenagers begging their parents for one for chirstmas or birhtdays. the guitar itself is not the best but it is useable for even intermediate players. the amp is very loud for its size.
the one thing that killed me about this amp is the buzzage. on the clean channel its extremely annoying. on the distortion channel its less annoying if you are playing with low gain but with high gain its just as bad or worse. also, the 10 foot cable included in this much less than what i needed. 10 feet is for a small room and when i practice im in a pretty big room.
the construction of the guitar is very solid. unless you smack it pretty hard into something metal or a corner of wood it shouldnt leave anything. the amp however i had a problem with. i was walking away wearing the guitar still plugged in to assist my bassist when the amp just fell face first. i didnt think it hit very hard since it was on the ground already and all it did was tip over. But when i took it to the guitar shop it turns out the circuit board was cracked from end to end (another $40 setback). unless you take good care of this amp it will come back to haunt you.
to be extra satisfied (and if you have the money) if you buy this package also buy a longer cable, and whatever better insurance thing they have if there is one.
