A great deal for someone starting out
I picked up this guitar deal to satisfy my “mid-life crisis” desire to learn to play the guitar. I agree with what many have already said here in that it’s a good starting package. The guitar itself seems well built and mechanically solid. The color is slightly different from the picture, but very beautiful. (The picture certainly does not do it justice.) Mine has a slight green tinge to the blue. As someone has said earlier, the “Sky” logo on the guitar and amp have been replaced with “BC”. It appears BestChoiceproducts is now branding them as their own. Amazingly, this has no effect at all on the sound quality it produces. :-)The unit comes in a very well-packaged box which is wrapped in a standard Amazon shipping box. The outer box had a hole in it large enough to put my small finger through when it arrived, but the inner protective packaging was hardly scratched. Well protected for shipping! When I unboxed it, there was some remnants of protective coating on the pick guard portion. Looks like they tried to remove it prior to shipping and did an incomplete job. About 5 minutes with a blunt pair of tweezers to pull the plastic from under the strings was all that was needed.The strap is basic but appears to work fine. I’m 6’1″, and used the adjustment on it to have it sit comfortably on my shoulder. I don’t think I would want to use this for hours on end as it isn’t quite that comfortable. However, if I ever get to the point where that becomes an issue, I’ll go splurge on something of higher quality. However, the included one is stable and I have no concern over the guitar dropping or the adjustment sliding while using it.I was really amazed at the size of the included amp. For those of you old enough to remember the days before ebooks, it’s about the size of a large Oxford Dictionary or a couple of encyclopedia volumes back-to-back. When I put it next to my 14″ Lenovo laptop, it easily fits inside the footprint of the computer. It’s only about 3″ thick, which makes it a great practice amp. I can take it to any room in the house easily so as to not disturb others while practicing. Yes, the overdrive on it is basic, but you would never use this for any sort of performance anyway. Also, when you are learning, the overdrive just seems to make it harder to hear if you have the chords right. So in summary, great amp for a beginner like myself.As mentioned, the guitar itself seems quite solid. The mechanical tuners hold their positions reasonably well. (Or so I have been told by those more experienced than I.) Now if they were only self-tuning! The pickups have a clean sound which makes it easier to hear your bad fingerings while learning. I’m no expert, but the strings may be something worth upgrading. I’ve noticed the low E string seems to have a large amount of fluctuation in tone depending on the strength of how hard you strum it. My digital tuner shows it going almost half a note sharp or flat depending upon the strength of the strum. None of the other strings seem to have this issue. Given that strings are cheap, it’s probably worth switching them out to see if there is any difference. I haven’t tried the included replacements yet to see if they are any better. Having said that, I can tune it to whatever my current strum strength is so that I can continue to practice with the string in reasonable tune.The included gig case is very minimal. It’s essentially a dust cover. There’s no protection at all for your guitar while inside. I’m only practicing out of my home, so I am not overly concerned. At least the large font, all caps “GUITAR” printed on the back will prevent you from accidentally using it for your Stradivarius violin. Otherwise, I think this is the one area I would buy a replacement for if I had a need to carry the instrument out of my home.Overall, very satisfied with this purchase as a beginning guitar player. I would recommend it to others.

It’s a good beginner guitar
Okay it’s a good guitar, it’s nice for the price the speaker is meh, sounds better with my other speaker. It’s not tuned when it arrives but that is fine. The tuner itself comes with no battery so keep that in mind when buying. I would also get better quality replacement strings.If you want an electric guitar but don’t want to buy a real expensive one this is an excellent alternative.

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!

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 !!
