Be real, this is a good entry guitar, March 28, 2008
I have this guitar pack and I have to say that the number of negative comments is amazing. I am not sure what people expect for $200.00. No! This is not a $1200.00 dollar American made strat, nor is the $500.00 Mexican made strat. It's a low cost made in China strat.
Regardless of where it was made, I found the workmanship to be very acceptable. The guitar is beautiful and the rosewood fretboard is very nice. The whole guitar has a solid feel. My only real complaint is that the center pickup has an unusually low level output. But there is no way I would return this guitar just because of a single pickup. At worst case I'd just have Fender send a replacement. And Yes! As other reviews have noted, the amp hums a little (especially at higher volumes). But, this has more to with the single coil pickups used in the guitar. If you want humbucker pickups, you're going to pay more. Also the amp is just a small 10W practice amp. It works fine for lower volume practicing. I have fallen in love with mine and play it quietly in the evenings to relax from the world.
I have a family and very little extra money. I am greatful that Fender has provided these low cost kits. It gives me the opportunity to own and relax with a Fender, something that would be questionable with a better (read more expensive) guitar. And, if the kids develop an interest, I won't cry too much if they add a few scratches to it.
Folks need to keep things in perspective. This is a low cost entry level guitar. Understanding those limitations, I highly recommend this kit to anyone just starting out.

cool guitar....., December 4, 2006
A Kid's Review
This is a very cool looking guitar.my dad got it for me for an early christmas gift, and i love it! sounds very cool,anything from nirvana to metallica.very pleased.the whammy bar doesn't work too well, or that might be me, but every thing it comes with are great, for a ten watt amp, it really kicks and it is loud!!!!! the tuner is ok,but i bought the sparkly black with brown finger board and pearl pick guard, and it looks amazing. way better than the normal black fender.the one i have also comes with headphones and the adapter for the guitar amp head phone slot.also a very cool guitar stand, which i would recommend.very cool guitar for beginers intermediate guitar players who just want a quality guitar to use.also the over drive sounds really cool. so parents who's kids want a guitar, get this.it comes with everything you need to play!

Great Entry Level Guitar!, November 27, 2007
Fender's newer, entry level Starcasters are an excellent choice for beginners. Well made with good features at a reasonable price. Don't be mislead by biased reviewers who most likely own small guitar shops and want you to spend 3 or 4 times the cost at their business. This guitar is a fine pick. A+!
