Now besides the expected cheapness, I think this guitar is great. The sunburst finish didn't have a single smudge, crack, dink, or scratch. The neck is smooth and straight. The action is very acceptable. The intonation is spot on right out of the box. I would recommend this guitar to anyone who is a beginner, or just looking for a cheap guitar as a secondary instrument. Sometimes you just can't afford even $300 for a guitar, and I think this piece really fits the bill.
My only negative is that it was shipped in a box w/ only about 1" of clearance all around and some small chunks of styrofoam to brace it. When I saw the packaging (or lack there of), I fully expected a damaged guitar...but to my surprise it was in perfect shape. You can always return it if it's damaged though.
Also...just a note. Pyle Pro may not be a standard guitar name, but they do have quite a few products on the market such as home A/V receivers, car stereos, speakers, etc. I also own a small Pyle Pro amp for some outdoor speakers and it also works well and was very inexpensive. Don't let the name brand prevent you from buying this guitar. At this price range, you're not gonna get much better than this.

I got one of these as a gift. It was one of the most playable guitars I ever owned and sounded just like a real Fender Tele. It got stolen so here I am ordering another. Best guitar I ever owned in 30 years. !Best Deals for Pyle-Pro PGEKT35 Professional Full Size 6 String Electric Guitar w
This is a cheap guitar. When I had it checked out at music store, they pointed out that the neck was on crooked. I've traded it for a good fake strat.Honest reviews on Pyle-Pro PGEKT35 Professional Full Size 6 String Electric Guitar w
Before I bought this guitar, I was looking for a Telecaster-style guitar for the first time. I was looking for deals online. In fact, I was looking for possible Squire Telecaster models for under $200 or possibly under $100. I found this one. After seeing this instrument online, I thought I finally had a chance to play a Telecaster-style instrument at a very affordable price. I even watched promotions of it on youtube where a good guitarist was playing the very model I was looking to purchase, the Pyle-Pro PGEKT35!!, I watched the video several times, getting a sense of how it would sound if I used it. I was trying my best to get a feel of it before finally purchasing it. After I decided to buy it (it came by UPS less than a week), I was happy to see it up close for the first time and to see how it actually felt in my hands!Here is the sad story. To my disappointment. I noticed some things on this instrument that I did not like. The strings on the guitar are CHEAP! (I will consider replacing them soon), The tone knob is a bit rusted (although I bought it brand new). The nut feels like plastic. The finger board feels cheap and the metal frets seem very thick and cheap. The neck, although its VERY SMOOTH, would be a lot better if it were glossy coated. The overall feel of the neck feels cheap, sad to say.
What is good about it? It comes with two Allen wrenches, and a guitar cord. Its not neck heavy as some very low-end guitars. It uses Paulownia wood (somewhat similar to Alder wood). The saddle holding the strings reminds me of an actual Fender or Squire telecaster. although some guitarists complain about the weight of certain guitars (this one is 12-13 lbs), I like HEAVY GUITARS. I play the bass (which is usually heavier than guitars). I don't want it to feel like a toy or a Guitar Hero device. I gave this instrument a low rating because the expectations of it were not met. I would only recommend this guitar as a "starter" instrument for those wishing to get their first "Telecaster". As for live performances or bands, I am not sure.
