Starting-Mid Level Guitars
Starting-Mid Level Guitars
Squire Classic vibe will fit perfectly into the starter - mid range guitars.....
plays incredible and and pretty good...
this is coming from someone who is using a Jem7v and a Les Paul Classic.... I trie dthe Classic Vibe at the music store after hearing rediculous reviews on those, i'm like wow... this thing was only $300....
I wouldn't mind a drop on the Ibanez EGEN18... been trying to find a place that carries it and will give me a deal for it haha....
can i also add an orange Mirco Terror or Vox Lil' Night Train for the amp head would make this a good starter set
Classic Vibe $350 + orange micro terror $150 + micro terror cab $100
$600 starter kit.....i wonder how much discount we would get for this set up

As someone who made their living playing guitar PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THESE OPTIONS!. That Squire electric kit routinely sells for 200-250 around the holidays, and both of those guitars are absolutely horrible.
Parents, you know your child. If they're going to stick with this, get something a bit better, you can still get everything you need for under 500, and it will be gear that will actually be enjoyable to play with. These kits are frustrating to play and run people off.
If you're buying this for yourself, wait two more months and get something you'd really like.
The BEST case scenario is that with either of these kits is that you/your child discover they like playing guitar and you have to replace everything in them within 6 months. The worst case is that the horribly made instruments and bad amplifiers frustrate you and you end up wasting that money.

MY GOD YES. I got mine as a gift when I took guitar in school and it was no fun to play.
Don't get a starter kit! lol Go to your local music store, even a Guitar Center will get the job done. You might spend a bit more ($100-200) but you will get everything you actually need, and it will be quality equipment! (<-- important part) As "Chaz" said, you will end up replacing everything in the kit no more than 6 months to a year out, and to me that is a terrible return on investment! Just as you get used to some equipment, you have to get something completely different? Hopefully you found what you needed, there is a ton of information out there pertaining to what is good to start with.
Personally I started on a Fender accoustic that sat in my basement for close to a decade before I picked it up again. One final word of advice, don't get super thick strings; I let my friend convince me that these super thick Martin solid brass strings would be easier to learn on. They sounded great, but were a bitch and a half to put on and tore up my fingers! lol
