Starcaster by Fender Strat and Amp Set Review




Price Paid: $200

This starter set comes with everything: Stratocaster guitar, 10 watt SP-10 amp, strap, picks, tuner, gig bag, cable, headphones, guitar stand.

Sound:
The amp has a distortion/clean button. It is acually kind of loud but it sounds too high with not enough bass. The guitar has a humbucker pickup and two single coil ones. When it's on distortion I only use the humbucker because if you select something else it ain't sound good. When it's on clean, the neck pickup is good for acoustic sounds. The whammy bar can only lower the pitch.
With this set you can play almost anything, like metal, alternative, jazz, but doesn't sound good compared to better amps. It comes with a headphone you plug into the amp to play silently. 6 out of 10

Looks:
Mine came in shiney black with matching shiney black headstock, the pickguard is white and the pickups and knobs are also white, and a chrome bridge. The amp has chrome edges, black textured covering, and black grille cloth. 9 out of 10

Overall:
It only for beginners. The amp sucks get a new one but keep the guitar. 7 out of 10
