In times of dexterity such as these,( rising prices,global uncertainty,or just plain hard times )one must find ways to keep the musical instrument(s)chiming with sweet sounds,and these strings at this price makes it possible... so thanks for that!

Came set up to play without any adjustments to the action needed.  Came without the pick guard but one was sent if  you prefer the looks with one.  Seagull has switched to Cleartone strings.  They sound great with this guitar.  The mahogany is a satin finish.  I like the warm rich sound of this guitar.  I have a $1200 guitar that stays in the case now.  I don't think you can buy a guitar for less than $1000 that compares to this.  It also comes with the Fishman Sonitone pickup.  This pickup sounds wonderful with this guitar and the control knobs are accessible through the sound hole.  One volume and one tone knob for adjustment.  The guitar comes with one strap button.  The guitar I bought came with the gig bag and the stage stand.  No reviews were out when I bought this guitar.  Godin told me they were being formally introduced in January 2014.  I saw a picture of one in a small ad in a guitar magazine and bought mine without ever playing one.  I am very happy with this guitar.

this album puts to rest the notion that "guitar gods" and their albums are only for guitarists.  this album has something for everyone.  even if you aren't floored by his technique (and there's no reason you shouldn't).  even if your date says "i knew him back when..".  so what.  his tone is so incredible and soaring that this album should be part of the options package on a Jag or Vette convertible.

I've been playing for more than 15 years.  I do acustic gigs and this is my first choice for all of them. You could play more than four consecutive hours and still not tired. The guitar looks and feels great. Tuners need to be change, so i recommend that you order a set too and replaced them as soon as yo get the guitar. The electronics are easy to use and tuner works great. In my case one of the strings(1st) didn't have same volume as others, not a big problem. Took away the saddle and pickups weren't aline with strings. I move it and the problem was resolve in a breeze. Finally this guitar for the price it should be a NO brainer for everyone. You wouldn't regret boughting it.

I'm a tinkerer, and so is my bandmate. We've easily had a dozen Tele sets between us in the last couple of years. These are great, and ridiculously affordable. The bridge is twangy yet full, a Broadcaster vibe, and the neck is rich, fat and honky. A million and one uses, my new go-to.

I just got one of these for less than $30 and it is the BEST DEAL EVER, every guitarist should get one, you will not be disappointed at all....
Fender totally rocks (but we already knew that, didn't we?)...

This is a really awesome package!  It comes with everything that I really needed to get started on playing the guitar, and the sound quality in my opinion is great too!

Im in love with my fender, i couldn't have made a better choice with this buy. Its a STEAL, the color is amazing and the sound is even better. I could not be anymore happy with it. It suits me so well and is by far the best guitar I've personally ever owned.

I've had this for a while and it is the best thing to a "real" guitar that you can get on Rock Band now that the Squier is no long being produced.  Don't get me wrong, I really, REALLY want one of the Squier's but not at over $400! That's way over my price tag and I also hate scalpers making profits over something you know they bought at the $279 price when they were being made.

OK.  I never had any of the setup problems of anyone else.  My guitar worked correctly right out of the box, and has continued to work after long sessions and fumble fingers!

Everything has pretty much been said before about it.

It feels OK, but not like holding a solid-body guitar.
The strings are not as tight as a normal guitar and may feel rubbery to you.
The strings are all the same size and that was really weird as I expected to be able to "feel" my way around down there.
On the same note; the buttons are all the same thickness, so you cannot feel were you are on the neck.  The fact that the game shows you what fret you are on if you press the button is a big help.
It only has 17 frets instead of 21, but the game knows this and makes adjustments to the fingering so you can still play.

So, go out and get one of these and experience Pro Mode!

Ciao!

These are the best pickups I've bought so far regardless of name or price, I put the bridge pickup in a $5.00 First Act body, with a decent used neck I bought a while back , clean with a good snarl , its got character for sure ,Also the  hardware and frames higher quality than I expected, and the Gretsch looking cover makes the First Act look like a legit player, I think it is now. Buy these.

Fantastic. So happy to see Mr. Hunter releasing music at a quicker pace than previous years. Been a fan of his since the Alice Cooper/Lou Reed days when he and Dick Wagner were the hottest guitar duo going. This instrumental release finds him with a back up band who's list of acts they have contributed to is impressive to say the least (look up their discographies, it's staggering). Cut live in the studio with no overdubs, Tone Poems delivers. Steve Hunter has a beautiful guitar tone- rich and full, bringing out the best the instrument has to offer. He has a deeply expressive style and is not interested in notes per second as much as the contribution he can make to the song. In 44 minutes (reason for 4 star rating- 36 minutes of unused space left on disc) he takes you on a musical tour through rock, blues and jazz and drops you off wanting more. I won't bore you trying to describe each song,  but urge you to give it the song samples an honest listen. I've paid twice the money i paid for this disc on releases from other artists and received half the quality. This cd is a nice addition to any collection, and with his 2017 release Before The Lights Go Out, I will be adding more Steve Hunter to mine. For those of you that enjoy top notch guitar playing -  Buy It.

I don't think you're going to find a better deal than this. I'm not a professional, but this guitar sounds as good as any I,vet ever played. Great deal, you can't beat it.

I will keep this simple and straight to the point.

First, yes this is Gibson's more inexpensive version of Mr. King's Lucille. For those players that have head stock status demands this instrument is one you probaly won't even be intrested in.

 For all the true players that understand that the name on the headstock is not ALWAYS critical, then let me tell you, this is a fabulous instrument for the money.
I have been playing steady since 1955. Played professionaly and in recording sessions. I am a firm believer in if you have a God given talent to play guitar then you can play great music on about any instrument. That being said, this model LUCILLE is exceptional.

I own it and play it daily. The fit and finish are very good. The body and top wood are laminated maple just like the Gibson model. The neck is maple just like the Gibson as well. It has a poly clear finish and not the way more labor intensive nitro-celleous finish on the Gibson model thus a good part of the reason for the huge price difference.

 The stock Alnico pickups are ok. No they are not Jason Lollar Imperials or Gibson 57 Classics or Tom Holmes specials but they get the job done. This guitar played through a good vintage tube amp sounds outstanding.

The hardware is very good. The Grover tuners are solid and work fine.

I had the frets leveled,dressed and polished and the control pots replaced with NOS CTS audio taper ones. That is the only changes I made to it. These things were the only ones I thought that need to be fixed to make it a great guitar.

After that this guitar stands shoulder to shoulder with any in my collection and it's the first one I pick up and the last one I put down. It covers almost every range of tone I need for about every genre of music... country,blues,rock,jazz.

After the fret dressing and action being set to 3/64ths at the 12th fret on the low E and 2/64ths at the high E it became the most comfortable neck I have ever played no matter who made the guitar.

In the end, it all comes down to ones talent, ears, hands and musical soul that really matters so if you posses those qualities then this guitar will satisfy everything you should ever need in a guitar. It certainly does for me.

I bought one of these from Amazon the other day after seeing great reviews online, and several videos of it. While I wasn't impressed by the packing job (it came without a case inside a couple cardboard boxes) :( , the guitar itself is a dream come true. Right out of the box it played easily, looked great, and felt just right. I'd seen people complain about it being heavy, and this was a consideration for me (I have some ongoing back troubles), but I played a gig with it last night and loved the way it felt. Fit and finish were perfect, with the only down side being the neck inlays looking a little cheap. I can live with that. it's put together very well for a $335 guitar. Through an amp, it sounded spectacular. Nice cleans with the Duncan designed pickups, and when I used overdrive pedals, I was pleasantly surprised at how well defined the notes were on both pickups. I've been playing professionally for 40 years, owned a Gibson ES335, an Epi Sheraton II, and now an Epi Dot. I'd choose this guitar over any one of them. If you want to save some money and still have a nice axe, buy one of these. Great all-around guitar. Link to a video on Facebook where I'm playing this guitar live: [...]

I'm really pleased with the outcome BUT ... I've been building custom instruments for 20+ years so I have the necessary tools, knew what I was getting into as far as setup and made some fairly significant enhancements.  As it comes, the kit will allow you to construct a $100 guitar ... I swapped out the tuners, swapped out two pickups with quality Seymore Duncans, and completely shielded all of the cavities.  I replaced the nut with a TUSQ nut.  Then I spent about 4 hours doing a total setup including neck straightening with the truss rod, fret leveling and dressing, shimming the neck for proper angle and action  adjusting the bridge and saddles ... after all of that ... I replaced the supplied strings with Fender Bullets ... and now it sounds great, plays great.  I am happy to give it to my 13 year old grandson as his first guitar ... much better than the Masonite Sears Silvertone Dan Electro I started with in 1964!!

This guitar is great. Quality build nice steel strings looks beautiful. Ive gotten compliments on how it looks and plays buy seasoned players. It sounds nice and warm. Has only one strap button on the back so your going to have to use a neck tie at by the tuners. The best part about this guitar is that when i finally purchased it, it was down to $50 dollars. Doesnt get any better than that seeing as it went up in price which is reaffirming on how much this is a steal.

I've always wanted a Silvertone electric guitar ever since I was a teenager in the 60's. I've been playing since the early 70's and have owned Fender, Squier, Epiphone, Samick, Gibson and Xavier instruments over the years... The Silvertone Citation 'Candy Blue' guitar I recently purchased is a well made, quality axe that would be an excellent choice for a beginning player or seasoned veteran musician. The Citation looks great (photos don't do it justice), sounds great (through all 4 of my amps), has nice action (height of strings) and I've had zero tuning problems with the machine heads. The only reasons I didn't give a 'Five Star' review to this purchase are: The gig bag and guitar strap included in the package are both pieces of junk. I've replaced the strings with GFS medium nickel-wounds (from guitarfetish) for a decidedly 'British Invasion' 60's vibe. I highly recommend this package to any and all folks interested in purchasing a good guitar at a great price... Peace!
