Silvertone SS11 Revolver Electric Guitar and Amplifier Package (Sunburst)

 Can't go wrong with a Silvertone
I've been playing guitar for going on seven years now, and in that time I've played a lot of instruments, both accoustic and electric. For your money, Silvertone is A sure bet.

I recently acquired the SS11 on a scratch-and-ding discount (there was a very minor blemish in the finish - almost unnoticable unless you know where to look), and can verify that it's worth every penny. You're getting a great deal at the markdown, both in instrument and amplifier.

The SS11 is a good, solid instrument with excellent tone. Its three single coil pickups are on a five-way switch with a single volume, dual tone controls, great for players like me, who are constantly messing with treb/bass for that "perfect" sound.

Oh, and don't let the size of the amp fool you. You won't be playing any concert halls with it, but as a practice amp it puts out some serious noise - just ask my neighbors ;)

Also, the included instructional DVD is very comprehensive, perfect for a new player or even an experienced player; I'm not ashamed to admit I picked up a thing or two to improve my playing.

Yes, there are more expensive instruments out there, but if you're just getting started or looking for a good "first" electric, I strongly reccomend the SS11, or for that matter, any Silvertone for that matter.

 GREAT FOR STARTERS
This was the first guitar I got and started me in the right direction. This is a well made guitar and plays great. If your a beginner I recommend this one to get. The guitar and amp is what any beginner needs to get started. Also you get picks, a cool instructional video, and a tuner which are all decent items. Even though I didn't get a new guitar yet and am still using this one but I did get a better amp at $150. Really, this is worth the money and is a really great guitar package.
