    The strings on these are terrible. The pegs slip and always fall out of tune, I wouldn't recommend this to someone actually interested in learning.

      Agree, I bought this long time ago, it is now the toy of my 4 y.o. daughter.

      • Monterey guitars are the same. Would not recommend this brand. The only reason JB still sells them is because beginners keep buying them.

        • Some of them are okayish but build quality sucks. Even on their higher end models. I went through 4 and still have issues with the woodtone on my SG clone. Was a bargain price though.

        • @syousef: Try Artist guitars. Cheap, and from reviews, they're pretty good. Aus company, guitars are made in China.

          I've been meaning to try them out, but I can't justify getting another one until I sell off my others.

          Yeah they're not bad. Their basic beginner's electric guitar that I bought a few years back is nice enough but is very particular about how it's set up. The Mounterey SG clone was $121 and I couldn't beat that. As I was eyeing it my wife decided it was my birthday present from her to me a year or two back so I could exchange it but would have annoyed her if I took it back.

        • @flaminglemon:

          The real disappointment was my Vintage "Lake Pacific Blue" SX Strat bought from South Coast Music - very close in colour to Fender's "Lake Placid Blue". Unfortunately it needs fret leveling, which is beyond my skill level, and I had to add filler to a nut that was cut too deep. As shipping back and forth would have been too expensive all they offered was to send me a nut in the mail (which they did very recently, months after purchase).

          Cheap guitars eh…I have a dozen or so. Not worth anything and I suck playing but man they're pretty ;-)

          @syousef: High-five, buddy! I haven't played in AGES, and even then, I couldn't play to save my life. But they look great on the wall. I had an Epiphone SG. Great sound, but it wouldn't stay in tune. Sold that one off in the end. Got myself an Epiphone 336 after that. I play it sometimes (like… once a year, maybe) without it plugged in. Loud enough to play quietly while everyone is asleep.
