I'm prepared to bet you 10p that it'll suck ass... All of the starter kits do to some extent, but that one will most likely be worse than most. However, I'd be pleased to be proved wrong

I dont know what/how you intend to use it, but you only get what you pay for.

Critically, id stay away from it and invest in a better bit of kit. At least if he enjoys it, it will last longer and if he doesnt then at least itll sell. The amp will be terrible, the pickups on the guitar will be very poor and it wont feel nice to play. Wood will be very cheap, strings rubbish yada yada i could go on and on.

Bottom line, buy a Yamaha or a Fender if you want Stratocaster style guitar. I think most places will do amp and guitar packages at a price of around £200 for anything worth playing. Seriously if you buy poor kit, chances are you'll be bored of it soon because theres nothing worse than trying to play with something which doesnt feel right

Have to agree it's pretty much going to suck but for someone starting (you son) it shouldn't be too bad as they've no better frame of reference.
If he gets good, treat him to something nicer

PS If you want any drum tracks recording foc (I'm a Jazz drummer but any style) just drop me a pm, same goes to any other musos on here.

Its traditional to start off with a hideous, electrified cheese board isn't it ?
Mine was a truly **** "Orbiter" Les Paul copy. Which I paid £50 in 1985, second hand and then had to by an amp as well.

If the reviews are to be belived then thats a good buy.

I'm tempted to get one just to see what they're like ?
