SX RST 3/4 3TS Short Scale Sunburst Guitar Package with Amp, Carry Review

Customer Ratings:

We spent the exact same amount on a 3/4 scale electric guitar from a chain toy store the year before and it was a piece of JUNK. When we ordered from these people; however, we were BLOWN away by the quality of this one! The package is amazing and now my son and his dad are learning to play together. Unbelievable quality for the price!!!

I can't believe the quality, I ordered this for my son for christmas and now I can't wait to see his face when he opens this gift. With standard shipping I got it in a week, make sure you have it shipped to a different address, have it gift wrapped or be ready to intercept the ups truck if it's a present, it comes in a brown box but says "guitar" on the side. (I know there have been other reviewers that have complained about this....silly). I was too impatient for christmas so I had to go ahead and play it a little, no real buzz or hum that you would normally get with a cheap amp. The guitars' look and finish is nothing short of amazing, the whole guitar feels solid in your hands, definitely not a toy, and it sounds great for it's 3/4 size and small price tag. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beginner/kids guitar & amp combo.

This guitar was delivered in 4 days. I love this guitar. It is well made and sounds great. The Sunburst coloring looks much better in person than online...very professional looking, not cheap. The size is perfect for my 11 year old and is still big enough for me to play around on it. It is bigger than I expected, but I'm glad, because I was worried that it would be too small. He can play this for a long time. I don't think the strings are set too close like I read on a review before I bought this. This guitar is for older children or small adults, and I think it's perfect for that. I think the review about them being to close may have come from a bigger adult with bigger hands.

The case that comes with it is of much better quality than I was expecting. It is not flimsy. It is made of a thicker material and has some structure to it. That was a bonus.

As for the amp, my husband, who is a sound tech for live bands, said it has a good sound for such a small amp.

I haven't looked at the learning c.d. yet. I'll have to post later on that.

Honest reviews on SX RST 3/4 3TS Short Scale Sunburst Guitar Package with Amp, Carry

I bought this for my son this past Christmas. I was looking to get a complete kit for a minimum amount of money not knowing if he would pursue this interest. Although the interest is not really there, I cannot complain about value for the dollar. The guitar is well made and very sturdy. Everything is included amp, cord, strap, tools, carrying bag, DVD, etc. It is a 9 out of 10 for completeness. Although minor, it should have included a guitar pick or 2 but it doesn't. The guitar itself is packaged quite well but will need tuning once received. All-in-all, good bang for the buck. Now let's just hope his interest picks up.

Before you buy this you should be aware of what I consider to be a fairly major problem.

I have been only moderately successful getting the guitar in tune. For the first month I was able to get the guitar in tune, but it almost immediately fell back out of tune. At first I thought it was due to the tremolo, or maybe just new strings needing to be broken in. After the guitar became "un-tunable" I changed the strings thinking they were just cheap, but that does not appear to be the answer to my problem. At last I have come to the conclusion that it is just not going to be a guitar that will stay in tune. The best I can hope for is to tune it every 15 minutes, and hope I can get the strings to at least be in the ballpark.

Now after I got that off my chest, I must say that everything was in the box, just like it was advertised!

The amp works well for the intended purpose, the tuner works fine (on my guitar), and the guitar itself is very pretty!

My son really liked the DVD that came with the guitar and seems to have learned some things from it.

If I had it to do over again, I would not buy this guitar. I read a LOT of reviews before I picked this guitar, and most of the reviews were very positive, so maybe you will be luckier than me. But the bottom line is, the price sucked me in, and sometimes you get what you pay for!!
