A good deal, but not the best.

(Yeah, I'm sure someone from Fender is looking at this and shakign their head)...

Personally? I think you'd be happier with a slightly used guitar (make sure you can play it or have someone who knows guitars check it out first before buying) and getting into a better amp.

I highly recommend the Roland Microcube as a practice/starter amp. It's comparable in price, battery powered, and you can dial in a ton of great sounds with it.

And if you look at a slightly used Squier or MiM Mexico, you'll probably end up with a guitar you'd be much happier with in the long run...

I did a lot of research before I finally bought my rig. I was looking at the all-in-one kits, but people seemed pretty unhappy with the amp. So I went with a Squier Standard Stratocaster in candy apple red ($199 through worldmusicsupply.com) and a Roland MicroCube amp ($125 through samash.com). I've been very happy with my choices!

That's it...right there!!!!

GREAT setup for any player.....new to guitar or for someone who's been playing for years!
