Encore Strat Style Guitar package

[WizLaudan73]

C'mon man...its a great little set up for a beginner. Buy something like this at first and if you find you have the bug then go something better. But for a 1st guitar you can't go wrong.

[astroboirap]

encore blast of shit.

[HOUSEMDSB7]

I'd rather save up and get something better, i've seen this deal, a measly 10W amp and it just looks shit imo, wonder what the action an intonation is like on this. With guitars, you get what you pay for

[guppyplec]

For the people who say this was their first guitar, u should always learn from an acoustic. I feel sory for your neighbours

[lcollinl]

:57 fancy vibrato tricks...nice

[Spedding101]

@SchecterZV Yeah, for christams I got a Parker p44, it's normally around £500 second hand but because the guy in the shop is friendly I got it for £325, its amazing in so many ways. The only problems are that my room is in the loft so I keep banging the headstock on the ceiling and the strap keeps falling off so the end of the tremolo is cracked

[anime4ever2996]

WTF was that HORRIBLE song he was playing at the beginning??????I should sue him for making my ears bleed!!!!!!

[astroboirap]

@anime4ever2996 rofl

[Spedding101]

I have the SG, it's horrible and over priced. The strat seems to be much better

[christhesnaildriver]

I bought an Encore (the same as this but black) second hand for £70 about 16 years ago! I learned to play with it and still have it now. I got it out the bag recently after not playing it for over a year and it was still almost in perfect tune! The finish is tough and glossy and everything works nicely. The only gripe I have is the cheap feeling screw in tremolo arm. Otherwise - Great guitar for the money!

[joshlod2k9]

I can not fault mine ive had it for 6 months and all is still fine.

the amp is the only problem its not exactly the best. But will do when you are just beginning to learn to play

[IluminousBlack1]

I got this guitar yesterday with a line 6 spider 3. Its beast!

[callumskater1]

i just got 1 of my freind for £10

[GiveMeATaco100]

Its great for beginners. although its not built for cat pee.

[P2GearsOfWar]

Themu Sick Ing

[TheHelmetRock]

got this today anyone who says its shit and hasnt tried there a fool! the guitar and amp is great.

[shootmybum]

i think it sounds pretty cool and classic!

[ballooskii]

great quality and finish for the money highly recommended for beginners,stays in tune well can not fault mine. 30 pounds of ebay love it.

[lukeandrew96]

a good guitar its only 89.99 from amazon

[musicmad247]

this guitar is a pile of wank

[palman18]

I wouldn't buy any one of these guitars unless you are impatient or need it now. I would save up and buy an epiphone or a squier guitar

[JL130787]

But is it good considering the price? As a beginner I don't care if it isn't the perfect tone, as long as it sounds decent enough so that I don't feel like giving up

[Ibik]

Encore strat was my first guitar. its sereiously not bad, i have used it since i was 13 am 18 now, ive used to for gigs.

[TheHelmetRock]

@Ibik i couldn't agree more

[jimmyjimbo72]

I remember playing an Encore strat copy at my old high school/sixth form; it was horrendous.

[UltimateSonicFan0001]

PLEASE ANSWER!!!! can an encore replica of a stratocaster get the same wierd whiny sound in solo's and distortion sound like other guitars?

[x5band]

You need a guitar amp with a distortion knob or a pedal connected 2 an amp

[lilbeth122]

i dont understand

Are like elavation and encore differnt sounds..?

idk D;

im such a sad person.

[martinas32]

Is Encore EBP any good. I'm a beginner so anything that is cheap and sounds decent is good enough for me.

[dazzera112233]

Got an encore e69 blaster not even as my starter and it sounds great! Well... better than the first guitar i got, a behringer

[NightlyReignOfTerror]

Seriously, dont get this guitar.. a kid in my school has it and it has no good bits

[x5band]

Encores have changed now, the new models all have guitar tech and other stuff on them

[JL130787]

Ok, so what else would you recommend for a beginner like me with less than £100 to spend?

[willpursey]

look around and you should be able to find a second hand vintage SG for under that, i got mine for 90 second hand, its in perfect condition and im still using it to gig with now, its a great guitar for the price range.

Oh also saw a few going for 70 quid around where i live

[NightlyReignOfTerror]

Exactly, im getting the Ec-50 in white, my 2nd guitar it will be, i got a jackson starter package before xD

[greeniguanadude]

I got my encore package, (My first guitar) I've been learning a few famous riffs and some chords, and I'd just like to know, when the time comes, should I upgrade my guitar or amp to improve the sound? If it affects my choice, by the way, I am playing classic rock n' roll. Thanks.

[NightlyReignOfTerror]

Yeah, get a starter ibanez or something

[conformistkiller666]

if you dont have loads of money id say get a new amp.

if you have loads to spend get a new guitar.

[rockchick994]

to me the neck pickup doesnt sound that bad.

[rockchick994]

i just orderd this, im a beginer but now evryone is sayin it sucks. shit i need help

[conformistkiller666]

tbh ther not bad guitars my 1st guitar was an Encore and it was ok.

aslong as you have a good amp it should be ok

[MrRedman]

Should have checked reviews and experiences using Google or on here.

I own one, from a year's experience, I'll say it sucks.

[GrantDaMan55]

i have an encore les paul and the amps u get with these guitars r terrible but the guitar its self no matter what others say is a great beginngers amp

[brades92]

ffs i just bought this guitar online and now im watching this only to find out it sounds horrible!

[brades92]

then again, with the amp it sounds ok... lol

[musicmad247]

omg that sounds so bad

[spikie101]

this with a good valve amp aint 2 bad

[craig9006]

hi everyone i just bought the encore its the black one on the right hand side at the front, im struggling to get the "rock guitar sound" from it any know why? cheers

[tottenhamfan12]

Next to the volume on the amp there is a button. Push it in.

[Enjoiskateboarding01]

epiphone is better.

[HercNastyz999]

encore stuff freakin sucks

[GoodGawd]

not

[NikkieblingIsaWannab]

Guitar sounds horrible

[bennyboon]

YORKKKSHIREE YORKSHIREEE i love u i boguth ym drusm from u

[Tweekstwin]

First of all that guitar sounds horrible.

And where the hell is that guys accent from, it sounds like a mix between an Australian and British person.

[ChrisyR1234534]

i noticed that the new encores have the exact same headstock as the new vintages.

[pwilkas]

I think it's because Trevor Wilkinson has worked on both makes of guitar.. the Vintage V100 sounds better though, shame it can't be bought in a starter pack like the Encores.

[wolvesfc92]

just ordered one, hopefully be gd :P

[nlawrie]

when i started playing guitar i got a encore, i would recommend spendign a bit more money and getting a yamaha pacifica 112 instead, they are amazing for the price

[wisteela]

Great stuff. I have an old Encore E1UJ and it rocks. I've got hold of a second one for a custom build.
