The Best Beginner Electric Guitar Starter Packs!

[@macanoodough]

I wish this quality was available at this price when I was either learning or broke. Unfortunately I am just an old man crying about how hard I had it in ye olden days. "A starter Epiphone was $500 in my day, and that was a steal!. You had to forfeit the case, and the mere suggest of a free amp would get you laughed out of the store. We had to walk to school nine miles in the snow, uphill both ways, etc..."

[@alex-fq9ud]

you sound exactly like what my grandpa used to say 😂

[@rudy5053]

Did you account for inflation XD

[@TisDansk]

Yet could get a house for as much as a car today

[@vicslav4030]

You're lucky to be old I will never have that

[@DaerianAntilles]

I’ve played for almost 10 years, but i can’t get enough of ‘starter’ pack videos. Such good stuff out there for beginners!

[@endezeichengrimm]

In this economy, we'll all have to play starter packs.

[@mikeg6666]

Right , wish they had this around when I was a teenager in the early 80's...

[@mikeg6666]

@@endezeichengrimm Truth!!!

[@jonnykanesantos]

Ive been paying for 15...we are just gear heads lol I'll watch anything about guitars! It is fun to see the stuff beginners have available and compare it to the crap we had lol. Glad they can get a good starter guitar these days, even lefties

[@pixelz5442]

What is the no.1 you would recommend within a budget of 160

[@majorhippo2772]

Best thing about Christmas is the countless Andertons videos that will come out for the busy season. Who even cares about the guitars, I just want to hear Pete's jokes slowly ignored and Lee trying to talk over guitar licks!

[@Tomurow]

Yeah, and then they’re back in Jan for the amazing booth tours at NAMM 2023! It’s like I’m actually there!😎

[@Gays4Trump]

I am looking for a rig just under $5k. What would you suggest?

[@MusikMagisterMagnus]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. As a music teacher, I really appreciate the way you adapt the presenting style to a younger audience for these starter packs. I think it may just seal the deal for some youngsters who're on the fence about learning guitar.

[@timothyritchie5290]

Just bought an st2 for a friend as a beginner guitar and it is crazy good for the price. As a guitarist with 20+ years under my belt these are great- setup was great and had a check card in the box- and had definitely been QA properly- good job. Changed the strings and polished the frets and it is a lovely little strat. The neck is particularly lovely (hoping my friend doesn't stick at it and regifts it to me 🤣)

[@pleasantlanguage1585]

The colours on some of these guitars are stunning.

[@01157ify]

Many of us in the US really depend on Andertons to teach us about new and different guitar equipment. Whether it be guitars, pedals or amps at different price often we learn about it from you guys. Also, the riffs are very cool as well. Thanks

[@mrredritehand]

Yes great comment here! Totally agreed!

[@zeppelinboys]

and i would die of cringe from the bound to be terrible 'Andertons like' videos some awful retailer (like GC, would put out). coming out the gate itll be two presenters who dont actually play guitar, b/c NOT hiring someone who cant play guitar is discrimination! and racism! so GCs 'guitar' videos will feature two 'minority' (black) presenters, neither of whom can play guitar, let alone any instruments, but one of the 'black women', is actually a man who is transitioning! PR says we have wonderful optics! clown world gets worse everyday, for all i know there is a music show out there hosted to two people who do not play instruments, are were only hired for the gig b/c of nepotism.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Love how differently Pete plays depending on the guitar type. He's always most comfortable on a Telecaster, but damn can he play anything they throw at him.

[@seanhershey3390]

I bought a Grote hollowbody ( single P90) guitar 4 years ago... amazing...4 other friends bought them as well.

[@paulschauerman2052]

Good to know, that's the one model I'm really interested in.

[@Maart3nSl3g3rs]

Pete can make any cheap guitar sound like an expensive one. I am really good at the opposite.

[@andertons]

😂😂😂

[@elitestarquake3597]

I ordered a purple G35 yesterday, as soon as I could. Can’t wait for it to arrive tomorrow! I’ve been playing guitar since I was fifteen (I’m in my late forties now). These guitars look awesome!

[@sjstone2077]

how is it?

[@insertuserhere1748]

was it worth it?

[@thedreadtones]

Good on you guys for using simple language knowing this video will be aimed at mostly Parents and Newbies. It’s awesome to see all the amazing options new guitarists have these days. Keep up the good work guys!

[@rockingstar3534]

Pete is such a good guitar demo guy. Not to over played. Precise and just nice on the spot.

[@ghosttitangaming8177]

"starter/beginner" guitars have come so far in quality compared to 20 years ago when I first started playing. Back then your options were an affordable crap-caster that made your hands and fingers bleed, not from epic playing but from being rough/sharp/poor quality materials, or spending a ton of money on something you're not sure if you like or will ever be good at. 9 out of 10 people probably bought the beginner crap-casters and spent more time fighting their poorly made guitar than they did actually learning anything. That's how it was for me for many years before I finally grew a pair and stepped into a guitar store and plugged in some actual quality instruments. The difference is night and day. My major turning point was purchasing an ugly green beat up Agile singlecut. It was by no means an expensive or glamorous guitar but the way it felt to play and the way it sounded was unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

[@syrehn69]

Seriously, after watching all of these videos , you guys....I would be beeligning for Andertons for ANYTHING MUSICAL. You obviously DO put alot of dedication into researching, sourcing, and testing these products and even going as far as to categorize best matches, for sound and suitability, right across the board, for any guitarist , at any stage, in any genre or sound style and ratio. On top of all of this ( wait but there's more! ) You also do the best prices you can ( yes, I can tell) for your audience / customers , and refreshingly , you PROMOTE , all of this, without the fast talking , syrupy sleaziness , of a shoddy carsalesman . No weird , shonky vibes here! That is for sure. And to really top of the tree with a big Gold Star, you KNOW WTF , You are talking about, you know how to explain simply , what goes with what and why ... Along with which ones are suited to whatever, and then give us all the comprehensive rundown on set up and the all important SOUND Demo for comparison, of all the equipment and the range of choices available in each featured videos topic and range. I know I can choose and purchase these products from Andertons, that I need to invest in, with COMPLETE CONFIDENCE, without even walking into a store ( I know right, the mind boggles!🤯😃) . And living a world away here in Australia! Informative , honest and integral . That is what we like to see! Good on ya guys! 💯👍🙌☝️❤️🔥

[@BrentAdams]

Why couldn't we have had guitars like this when we were starting out?!?!?!? Wow!

[@Faethon888]

the purple hollow body is ridiculously gorgeous

[@jonnykanesantos]

Obviously not expecting these to sing the most beautiful tones out of them ever at this price(which is fine and these are absolutely worth getting for anyone at any level with a price like that), but this video is more proof that there is something special about the middle position on a tele. Literally any tele I've heard the middle and been like "oh that's cool" Still have no idea how I would use that tone lol

[@chloesgrass4143]

i’ve got the blue st2 and it’s great very much was worth it

[@RebeccaHindle]

Awesome video I bought the slash epiphone pack last year was under 300 and got a epiphone slash snake pit amp, slash bag, slash picks and a lovely looking and sounding epiphone designed by slash himself.

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

I'm saving up for the Murphy Lab's '59 LP and the Magnavox Starlight starter pack. 😂

[@sloppymelon445]

man these starter packs are really great. super affordable too, I thought they would be upwards of 300 dollars but there super cheap.

[@kennkennn8322]

professional alert!! professional alert!!

[@3a-3a]

The last one semi-hollow purple is magnificent))

[@waynebridger4998]

I'd love the purple 335 style one, without the amp etc. Like Pete,my favourite colour is purple

[@fusionfan6883]

OMG that sunburst L1 Grote has one of the best tops and colours I have ever seen, if they were all like that I would buy one (Lee if it is still available let me know)!

[@fusionfan6883]

@casinoguitar4284 You are fake account - go away!

[@StreetPreacherr]

It's amazing what a difference just using a 'proper' 12" speaker makes! I had a pure TUBE 5w practice amp, but with only an 8" speaker it just never sounded great...

[@HorizonMelt]

I've got both of those last two guitars and I love them! I have that one in purple you see there and the same color as the jazz one they show. I swear, I pick it up more than any other guitar. I also have the Durple

[@jospliff]

Just ordered an st1 starter pack🔥🔥🙌🙌

[@mikeg6666]

Any kid growing up now wanting to learn how to play guitar is literally in Christmas land with the ridiculous amount of options and choice. Wish we had this many choices to choose from 35 years ago. Insane $130 for a starter pack , damn!

[@paulkline3011]

Those Les Paul style guitars look really nice!!!

[@joshbooth9772]

I haven't heard "the lick" in so long I almost spit out my drink.

[@alexanderdeadmansche]

The biggest one sounds prettygood

[@davidevans3175]

The "starter pack" I bought my son when he was 9 was a used Charvel guitar and a 50-watt Soldano purple head and matching 2x12 Soldano cab. He's now in his 30's and a professional guitar player. My theory was, get him the real thing. If he gives up guitar it wasn't because the gear was crappy and, it's 100% resell-able or even profitable rather than taking up closet space. If he did give it up (he didn't), I'd sell it and give him the money. I recommend this approach to everyone.

[@chrismataran8302]

You're amazing guys! I love your videos. Thank you ever so much!

[@fusionfan6883]

That little Behringer 40 watt that you featured a while back, and was also used in the sound like Free video the other day, seemed pretty good too.

[@fusionfan6883]

@casinoguitar4284 You are a fake account - go away!

[@mrredritehand]

They all look & sound just wonderful 👍

[@markcrockwell-vc7gu]

Just got myself a starter bundle the blue s1

[@sportkiteflyer]

ST1 = TG500? ST2 = TG530? They look identical. Not a bad thing.

[@dmar4142]

For beginner guitar pack demo. Why are you not just cranking the gain and hammering out power cords. You know that’s how they will be played😅

[@benrobinson9136]

That g35 purple burst… bruh… Am I seriously about to buy a third purple guitar from Andertons? Probably.

[@joelynnfriesen8896]

Do you ship to Canada? And how expensive would that be? I’m having a hard time finding the starter pack I want and these east coast guitars you have sound great! But I can’t get them anywhere in Canada

[@fernandes5986]

Very nice video chaps.

[@fretDrills_Guitar_App]

Outro Jam!!!

[@limpindug]

+1 fellas the pricing is great. What's not to like. 👍👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas.

[@myluvdicaprio]

Could you recommend one like the starting blue one you were using to show the amps or like the ST1 Deluxe but a black version? Preferably a price smaller than £150 and with a black/brown fretboard because I don’t really want a light wooden one? And with the amps, tuner, strap, lead/cable and pick? And with overdriven and maybe other types of sounds? Anyone?? I’m really eager to buy my first electric guitar?

[@tob564]

I love how Pete's face silently yelled "THIS SOUNDS LIKE ABSOLUTE SHIT!!!" while playing the smallest amp on distortion. He clearly didn't want to play it a second longer than he did...which wasn't very long. Ps. I love how probably 99 % of the viewers own + $1000 worth of gear and watch this vid just for fun!

[@t_rex8767]

wouldve been fun having an electric guitar for the first time, can they be used for all genres and without amp?

[@danielversion1.035]

I really feel like Pete's playing has come such a long way lately. He's getting really good. 😉 #teamcaptain

[@Driftuner]

Well, i dont know if you know his story before he came to the channel, but Pete was already a very accomplished professional guitar player that toured with the best out there and as far as i know also helped Mesa Boogie with the design of some amps. So i think that in these videos he might actually be holding his playing skills back lol

[@danielversion1.035]

@@Driftuner yeah... i know that. it's a running gag in the comments section...😉😉 (I wish i could play as good as Pete!)

[@luisleo.]

which guitar on here do you guys recomment to play beatles,queen,rolling stones music?

[@journeyinto40k62]

Just watching this video as I have been wanting to get a bundle to start learning guitar and at the end I went to check out the website as I was wanting to purchase the ST2 bundle but almost every bundle on the site is sold out. Any idea when you will get more or a new selection

[@cinnamon_tostcrunch1454]

Is the deluxe st1 good bc I don't want to go high in price not over 200 anyway

[@cinnamon_tostcrunch1454]

Or at least 250 and do they ship to u.s.a

[@bernard.tomasevic]

I would love to buy a guitar starter pack from you guys, but would need an European power cable for the amp. Is that possible?

[@JackWeir-i6p]

Hi I’m interested in starting guitar I think you guys have some nice deals but I leave in Australia is it still possible to order?

[@Akuma_816]

Why don’t you guys sell the black right handed ST2 with the amps and stuff, I really like the hum-buckers but I would like the 15w amp but I can’t find a bundle with the black one and the better amps, help?

[@VikingVinner]

Always love your Videos but this Video and others are in 1080 and not in 4K.

[@calebmartinez6081]

Hi guys I wanna buy one of them but do they sell to the US because it doesn’t let me, it says that’s it can ship because of how far it is or something

[@peedubya7799]

its strange hearing you guy supress your inner super-nerd tendencies and just be informative! I might get me one of these to dip my toes into the hollow-body realm- see if it gives me the fizz:D

do you also ship to Italy? I live in Naples. I would like to buy the ST2 purple guitar pack.

Can we buy with USD??

[@johnathans9816]

International shipping ?? I live in America

[@jameslewis2635]

The 35 watt amp sounded so much better than the other two. IMO the amp should be what most of the budget goes towards as it makes the biggest difference for the sounds. Having said that, none of these amps were great for higher gain sounds. Of all the guitars the one I was most interested in was the J90. It looks like a great candidate for converting into a slide guitar.

[@che2335]

Pete makes the $129 pack sound like a million bucks friends.$10 for the extra coil fo lyfe homie.

The torrified maple neck is worth more than the guitar! It's literally worth buying just to put on a better body. Grote used to build Chibsons. Might be a cool mod platform but the photo flame is kinda chincy.
