Update 4/26/2021: I quickly came to realize that the buzzing sound was me, haha. After learning where my fingers should be placed for a crisper sound the buzzing is -almost- eliminated. I do have to re-tune it every now and then but my guess is that's because I play it so much. I've been able to practice everything else just fine on this, capo works fine and even harmonics sound good! It is definitely a great beginner guitar and has been so much fun to play. Still keeping a star docked for the glue that held my low E string down when I first received it, but other than that I have no regrets about this purchase. Also remember, the sticker is laminated and can come completely off. It shouldn't be stuck to the guitar.

When I was a kid I remember picking up a fender in a guitar store and thinking it was the most beautiful sounding instrument I'd ever heard. I had my eyes set on a Fender, nothing else(despite there being better), but never got around to it. Fast forward a few years and I'm an adult now, finally saved up enough on the side to purchase a fender but since I'd never actually played the guitar seriously, I sought out a relatively inexpensive Fender that I could build up skill on.

Tuning:
Super excited when this got delivered today, but I noticed immediately on tuning something was wrong. The low E string didn't seem to be tuning at all no matter how I turned the tuning peg. I thought I was doing something wrong, but NOPE. After fiddling around with it for a few minutes I decided to try and restring it. I noticed that the top near the peg was loosening, but the actual string itself didn't seem to be budging, didn't want to hurt myself but I said to heck with it and just gave it a very slight tug. The string lifted but the reason it wasn't moving was that it had been glued down to the top where the strings lie just under the pegs. I've never played seriously, but my brother had an acoustic and bass and I've seen him replace strings before among other things many times. None of them had strings glued down anywhere. I may not know much, but I know that that is not supposed to be like that ever. Now I've got glue on what was supposed to be a brand new guitar string. This has made me seriously contemplate returning it. If you notice tuning is a big issue on this thing, this might be the case for you as well.
I would also like to add that I'm not sure if this is just a problem with the tuner or just me, but I can't seem to get the strings to stay in tune. I'll update that later.

The actual guitar:
The fretboard seems to have a few scuffs on the edges which just looks like it got damaged during the manufacturing process, not shipping related at all, and there are a few cheapy marks around the soundhole but nothing too banged up for me.

The accessories: I almost thought the guitar wouldn't fit in the carrying case but it was just enough. The backpack part itself though was a bit of a struggle to get on. I'm not sure if my height had anything to do with it, (5'9), but I had to loosen it to the lowest tension. There is also only one strap peg which doesn't seem very efficient nor make much sense. Just another cheap feature. The CD, picks, and strings all arrived in good quality though.

The sticker: I saw a few people mention this and I was really worried since I couldn't seem to peel the sticker off either. Maybe they fixed it but mines came off perfectly as I realized that it was a full clear laminate sticker.

I'll keep it for two weeks and practice daily, and then update on whether I returned it and any reasons why.

I will try to upload pictures, hopefully, Amazon approves them.

Comes with everything you need as a beginner, which I am. You can start playing it right away (once you tune it, and it comes with an electric tuner). Once you understand how to use the tuner, it becomes something you can do in a few minutes.

I've been playing for about 1 week, the guitar comes with metal strings and they sound wonderful. They also have replacement strings on standby.

They give you 3 picks, I wish they were different grades, but they are all medium. Not a game changer in the slightest.

Bag is nice, upgrading to a hardcase soon, but this bag will do and it does have a pocket on front for carrying your accessories. I don't have a DVD player to say much about the included DVD.

The only thing I can say I dont completely like is the strap. The guitar only has one knob, the other side must be tied to the neck. The strap is good quality, but I'm not a fan of the fit. Still not a game changer in the slightest, just preference.

The seller is very attentive as well and is willing to help you with anything from returns or fixes.

Totally will by from seller again, this product is awesome. Looks slick in black and just the whole bundle in general rocks!

Very pleased with quality and price of this guitar bundle.

Got my guitar and am happy with the product. Just what i ordered. Having fun trying to learn how to play guitar. Would definitely recommend. Very satisfying

I've been a guitar player since 1966. I started teaching in 1988, and still have students today, although due to Covid, business has been slow. In addition to teaching, I've played solo shows a few times a week (since 1997), and before that played in rock bands for over 25 years. I'm no amateur, and I know guitars. Playing is my bread and butter. I recently traded my acoustic/electric guitars and acoustic Yamahas for a semi hollow body high end electric Gretsch, which is a beautiful guitar. But it occurred to me that I really need a simple acoustic for campfires, outdoor memorials, etc. An amp & electric guitar isn't always practical. I took a chance on this Squire, and it just arrived today. The finish is quite good, no defects. The intonation is pretty close, the action right out of the box is good, too. (It does have a truss rod with Allen wrench, if needed). It comes with a video, picks, strings, strap & nylon gig bag that looks durable, but I don't think it's foam-padded, but it's OK. I think those individuals that gave this a one-star rating and poor review probably received damaged goods. Mine arrived in fine condition. It plays well, and has good tone overall. I wish this guitar had been my starter guitar, but in 1966 when I started playing as a teen, my Dad could only afford a $39. department store guitar, but I played that guitar every day, for hours. If you're a beginner, this guitar package is a good value, and way better than what I started out with. Best of luck, and never stop playing!
