Behringer Vintager Electric Guitar Package

You can usually find this product cheaper than the listed [...] price if you look around online. That being said, this kit is great for the price. Sure the guitar isn't the greatest, but the amp alone usually retails for nearly the price you can find this whole kit online. I already owned a guitar and just wanted a real tube amp, so I bought this package since I was essentially getting the guitar and accessories as a freebie. If you go into it with that thinking, you'll be very happy with your purchase. I wouldn't recommend the guitar as a primary instrument, however, unless you are just starting out on guitar. It's a fine beginner type guitar.

I got this guitar after stopping from playing 6 years earlier. I originally had a Squire Stratocaster which was destroyed in a house fire. Then i decided to take up guitar again after 6 years. I bought this package for £120, which included the fantastic little amp, the guitar, picks strap and soft case.
The guitar has 3 single coil pickups, with a vintage sound, i get a good beatles sound using the bridge pickup on a clean sound.
It has a nice action and didnt really need much set up, although i would change the nut or at least put some pencil graphite in there for now, my whammy bar cross threaded the day i set it up, but ive never found the need to use it, so im not bothered. The finish is nice, although im planning on stripping the paint and changing the colour. The neck is maple, with a maple fretboard and 22 medium frets, excellent quality neck, barring the nut, and the string trees are not sharp, but would be best to be replaced with rollers. The machine heads are not the best but will do the job if you have a tuner, im putting some locking tuners on. Im not a huge fan of the vibrato bridge, but it does the job nicely for the price.

Sound is pretty nice but because i now have a epiphone dot (for my vintage sounding stuff) im going to make this my first customisation project, i'll be replacing the pups for a single humbucker and also the electronics, to make this more of a punk guitar, as ive started playing some of that.

This is excellent for a beginner and ive been playing for 2 years now, and have a good quality guitar also, i play this one almost every day, and ive also took it to a few jamming sessions, which impressed a few other people when i told them the price.

I would say, if youre looking for a cheap guitar, you can do much worse, if youre looking for a Fender Strat, pay for one. Value for money, this is spot on, the amp is worth 70% of the price, and the guitar is also good quality for the price, ive seen much worse sounding and built guitars for twice the price.

I had this guitar for two years. I received it as a Christmas Gift, and when I saw the box, I nearly fainted. When I plugged the amplifier into the guitar, I noticed a lot of feedback from the amp. I was wondering if it was the cable, or the amp. Of course, I never had any real experience with an electric guitar. When I was in seventh grade, the only experience I had was with the D chord, the A7 chord and the G chord. But, when I reached ninth grade, I brought it to my Guitar I class. By that time, I had fallen on the guitar twice because of the ice outside, and the guitar is fine. The strap and cord have recently failed. Two picks are lost, one busted. I also had to change the strings after 2 years, because my D string broke. Then, I buy $20 strings, and the D string breaks after one WEEK. Also, the amp sounded too crappy, so I went to Best Buy, and bought a $200 Line 6 Spider IV 15-watt amp. Now, with my new amplifier, I think the guitar sounds much better. All of my classmates in Guitar I are dying to see my new amp (Except for one of them, who is jealous, because he has a Line 6 Spider III). But, if you buy this guitar, make sure you buy a Dunlop Ergo pick holder and a new amp cable. Also, if you want to go the extra mile, buy a new amp if you don't want to sound bad.
