Starter guitar packs have come a long way. Yeah there are things to improve, but that still looks way better than beginner guitars I remember (I'm old). Also, glad this'll be a giveaway, for sure I'll be entering for my 11-year-old son - it could be his first guitar/amp!

Your a Legend bro, im a beginner and wasnt sure if this was it for me, but after watching this last night, not only was I sure I wanted this, but i ordered one at nearly 4am, it's coming in Monday. Thanks for helping me make my dreams come true my bro. I appreciate Legends like you. 👍🏻👑🍻

No problem 👍

So how is it?

[@fundudes1019]

Honestly guys Landon is an amazing creator and has such a kind heart guys. We so lucky to have a guy who does this for us.

[@mattfleming2287]

It looks great, sounds decent and with a little love could be someone’s start on the journey to making music. It so nice to see a YT guitarist who isn’t reviewing ‘my new vintage guitar’ or $250 pedal. Some of us have families to feed and never get to buy that kind of gear. And honestly, you don’t need it. If you can’t make music on a Squier Strat, you’re doing it wrong. Dude, you are so refreshing...low key, real reviews peppered with dad jokes. Hope your 2021 is as great as your jokes are bad!

cheers Matt!

A nice squier strat from the year 2022 gives me more faith that 2021 isn’t gonna be too bad after all.

[@dmontalvo1983]

I got one for my son and after further inspection, I noticed the frets were sharp and needed some work. So I rounded out the frets with a dressing file and conducted a proper set up and intonation. Now she plays like a Fender Strat! My son couldn't be happier.

[@oldguy5381]

Landon, that’s a nice kit. Giving it away, priceless. 🤘🏼

[@kennybluet5527]

Glad to see you worked up a sweat. It's good for you. If I'm not mistaken , one difference between Affinity and Bullet is the logo on the headstock. Gold -- Affinity. Black -- Bullet. Can't wait for your Mustang review. Just got one ( Bullet). Very nice guitar. Tip for stringing these: Before running the string through the hole on the saddle , shape the string end into a hook shape so when it passes through the hole it will be sticking up and very easy to grab. It's still a bit painstaking that way but it does make it easier.

[@SCxItachi]

The air guitar comment was golden 😂😂

[@rboyer29]

I just got a Squier Bullet Tele and am also very impressed by the neck compared to other guitars in their price range and also other Squiers I've played. Very smooth. No harsh fret edges.

[@bighar1966]

Never owned a Fender but I like the way they are built and ease of adjustment.

Fender 2012 catalog lists the guitars that came in packs like that a SE. Older guitars from those packs sell for not a lot and make great mod platforms with full thickness bodies and 43mm nuts. On rare occasions a SE slipped out of the AXL factory with a super nice flamed maple neck.

[@Arfonfree]

My first electric was a Fender kit... guitar is labeled "Fender Starcaster"... it's not. It's an SSH Strat. The frets were pretty bad, and the action was terrible. But it got me interested in playing, and now that I have better guitars, it has been a project... I can't call myself a luthier by any stretch of the imagination, but I've smoothed the frets, lowered the action, adjusted the pickups, replaced the bridge, recut the nut... and the durned thing plays really well, and sounds not too bad. They are a great way to start. I hope somebody uses this one to get into the sport like I have.

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

Confusing branding. Starcaster was a fender beginner brand along with Squier from 2001-2014, and were the branch of Fender that sold the starter pack guitars, which are now sold under the Squier name. They were sold in places such as Best Buy, Target, Costco, and other stores, while Squier was often seen at guitar stores. They were not making the semi-hollow body guitar known as the Starcaster at that time.
