Great Beginner Guitar Package
By Gerald D. Fensterer
This Yamaha FG700S bundle is a great starter package for
those who want to start playing guitar. I did a lot of online research to find
out which guitars were best (sound quality vs price), and this one came out on
top of at least 3 of 5 reviews (it was second in the others). I am also a
novice guitar player, so take that into account with my review. My purchase
came from Austin Bazaar.
The packaging was secure and quick. No damage, and received
in two-days with free-shipping.
The bundle is a bit misleading. You're supposed to get the
guitar, a hard case, strap, stand, polish, tuner, strings, picks, capo,
stringwinder and DVD. My package came with everything except for the polish.
The FG700S is a great guitar, and came with Yamaha anti-rust FS50BT strings.
The guitar itself retails on Amazon for ~$200, so in the package, you're really
getting the rest of the items for about $50.
The black guitar hardcase is awesome. It has 4 brass clips,
one with lock and key. It is faux-leather on the outside with 3 brass feet on
the underside. It also has a molded plastic handle. The interior is a plush
felt and foam coating with a hidden "stuff box" for all your guitar
extras to be hidden away behind the guitar neck. The guitar I have fits so
snugly, it won't fall out even if the case is open and inverted. Not sure who
made it, but it's a great hard case. You can find hard cases on Amazon for $50
and up.
The strap I received was a Levy's black poly guitar strap
~$11 on Amazon. Not bad, nothing special, but will do the job.
The stand is a black foam-padded, 3-piece unmarked guitar
stand. It seems sturdily made to hold a guitar. It comes with a rubber cinch
that holds the guitar neck in the upper part of the adjustable neck holder. It
has 3 rubber feet, but none of the legs are locking. You can get one for about
$12 through Amazon.
There was no polish, but it came with a yellow Austin Bazaar
polishing cloth. You can buy a yellow one from amazon for $4. The Ernie Ball
polishing kit shown in the picture is not offered in this bundle.
The tuner is a grey multi-swivel Cherub WST-900 (~$19 plus
$8 shipping). It's a great tuner that determines tune by either sound via mic
or vibrations via computer chip. It takes only seconds to attach to your guitar
head and then literally just a few twists on the strings until the guitar's
tuned. It has colored LED's and arrows to tell you how far off key your strings
are. Also, it has two pivoting hinges, so it can be facing any direction you
want it to--or at least pointing at you as you're holding the guitar. It can
also be used to tune other musical instruments and has the ability to tune both
sharps and flats as well.
The strings are Austin Bazaar light Gauge strings: .012,
.016, BB24, BB32, BB42, and BB54. You can find a set of light strings for about
$5 from other companies on Amazon.
A card of 4 Austin Bazaar picks were included, but they
really are cheap. They come on a flimsy plastic card, and probably aren't worth
what they're printed on. Luckily I got a set of nice ones for X-mas. But don't
expect the twelve you see on the picture of the bundle.
I also received a black Dunlop 83CB acoustic trigger capo.
It's nice, and does what a capo is supposed to do. A Jim Dunlop 83 can be found
on Amazon for ~$13.
A yellow Austin Bazaar string winder was included, not a
black one like shown in the picture. It is comparable to either the Dunlop Gel
(~$2) or Fender 99-1028 ($5). Nothing special here.
The Yamaha Quickstart DVD is included in the package, but
don't expect the Gig-Maker DVD. It's not included.
All in all, a great starter set, but I'm not giving it a
5-star rating because the marketing on the bundle is inaccurate. However, for
the extra $50 this package costs above the guitar alone, you're getting ~$125
worth of stuff. Savings to the buyer: $75. If you'll use all the bundled stuff,
it's a great discount.

Great bundle
By Sleepless
Bought this for my 15yo son's birthday. He has been wanting
to learn and this bundle seemed like it would have everything he needed to get
started except a tutorial book. He took this guitar over to his friend's house
and all the guys were impressed with the quality of the guitar, but of course
they had to tease him because his mom didn't buy him electric... (but they
admit that they all learned on acoustic, so he is doing just fine and on the
right track).
This is a beautiful guitar that looks like it will last many
years with proper care. All the included items were of good quality and seemed
like they would last awhile until he needs upgraded in a couple of years. This
is a much better deal than anything we had available in our local music store.
Shipping was very fast and everything was well packed. I would feel comfortable
buying from Kraft Music again.
I am so glad I chose the hard case over the soft one that is
in a different auction.. totally worth the extra cost. This case and stand are
much better than I expected them to be and it will help my son keep his guitar
nice.... I am totally happy with this deal.
The book I bought to go with this is How to Play Guitar:
Everything You Need to Know to Play the Guitar and my son found it very helpful
in starting out.

Great Bundle
By Karen
After figuring out which guitar I wanted I found this
bundle. Wonderful bundle, gave me everything I needed to get started. The CD
was ok as a quick start set up CD. I just loved the fact that for the price, I
got a guitar, picks, cleaning/polishing kit, strap, tuner, stand, extra set of
strings, string winder, and case (I didn't get the Capo). The guitar alone
costs $199, and after pricing hard cases for my husband, they ran around $60+,
stands are about $10+ etc. I think it's a great buy, price each one separately,
you'll see. Great guitar great bundle. I love my Yamaha, great guitar although
I'm a newbie.
