(ratings are out of 10)
I don't know about the amp, but it's probably not better than the guitar. Plus, it's stupid have a pickup in a cheap acoustic guitar going to such tiny amp. A decent acoustic guitar's sound would be able to drown out that dinky thing. And no one wants to use distortion with an acoustic guitar.
Bottom line, there are far better choices even for a complete beginner. Stay away ...

I wish I would have read this...
before I placed an order. I played a guitar years and years ago (it would be more accurate to say I played at playing a guitar)...so I pretty much took Esteban's infomercial as being a good beginners guitar. Although there were a few decent reviews...overall it sounds like it is proabably a piece of junk. I especially do not like the reviews that complained about the strings being so high off the neck (bleeding fingers etc.)...because I know that it can damage your fingers pretty severely...at least untill your fingers become toughened up. I ordered it off of the site...and it does have a thirty day money back for any reason...so it sounds like something I will be returning.
