Best Electric Guitars of 2025

"This product works fantastically and the sound quality is great. The look of it is beautiful, and it's easily playable—perfect for beginners."

"I ordered this for my grandson's birthday, and everything needed was included. He has been using the free music lessons and has already learned a couple of songs. This seems to be a good value for money."

"I love this guitar. As a beginner, I didn't want to invest a lot, but this came with everything needed. My teacher, who also repairs and builds guitars, said that this package was a great choice."

"I received my guitar on 11/29/2024, and it was set perfectly. The neck relief and string height were just right. The tuners worked smoothly and held their tune. I appreciate the highly polished frets and the comfortable neck shape. The pickups sound great, and the guitar is very enjoyable unplugged. Although the tremolo needed some pressure to work, I understand it was likely designed that way to maintain tuning stability. Overall, it’s a fantastic guitar for learning, and I couldn't be happier with it!"

"After getting my guitar on Friday night, I immediately swapped out the bridge pickup and used it as my backup for a gig the next night. Surprisingly, it stayed in tune despite the tuners being a bit of a weak point. I was impressed with the matte finish and the thinner body. I recommend new tuners and possibly a bridge swap for anyone looking to modify it, but the tone of the pickups was quite nice. Five stars, as it exceeded my expectations for a guitar at this price!"

"I really wanted to adore this guitar right out of the box, especially since I love Squier Strats, but my experience was a bit mixed. I was thrilled with the gorgeous matte burgundy red color and the quality overall. However, upon tuning it, every string buzzed due to the truss rod being too tight. After some adjustments, it played well, but I worry about beginners who might not know how to fix these issues. Regardless, I love the guitar now and think it’s a great choice for those who are handy with setups!"

"I picked up this guitar deal to satisfy my mid-life crisis desire to learn to play the guitar. It's a good starting package with a well-built guitar. The color is even more beautiful than the picture. I was amazed at the size of the included amp; it's compact and easy to use around the house. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase as a beginning guitar player."

"I love that it came with everything needed for my 11-year-old who wants to start learning. The quality is good, and although it’s a bit heavy, I feel that means it's a better product. She adores the color, and the package arrived intact and undamaged. Very happy with this purchase!"

"It's a good guitar for the price, but the speaker sounds better with my other speaker. Keep in mind that the tuner arrives without a battery. I would recommend getting better quality replacement strings. Overall, if you want an electric guitar without spending a fortune, this is an excellent alternative."

"I purchased the LyxPro Left Hand 39 Inch Electric Guitar Starter Kit for my son, and it’s been perfect for him as a beginner! The guitar's great quality and the red color looks awesome. The kit includes everything he needs to get started – amp, strings, picks, shoulder strap, tuner, and a soft case for easy storage. He’s enjoying it, and it’s been a great introduction to learning guitar. Highly recommend it for any lefty beginners!"

"As someone who had never picked up a guitar before, I don’t have much basis for comparison, but it looks fantastic and feels good. It holds its tune well enough. The amp leaves much to be desired, but it will work while I’m figuring out the basics as long as I set it for a clean tone. Overall, this has been a good value!"

"For the price, I got a great beginner's guitar. The amp is friendly, and the guitar sounded great when plugged into a professional amp. The strap is cheap but does its job. Overall, this guitar is excellent for starting my musical journey!"

"I was thrilled with the excellent service! The instrument is just perfect, definitely not a simple beginner guitar. The quality of the accessories impressed me, and opening a Christmas gift to find that wonderful sunburst color was pure joy. Thank you!"

"I’m not a professional musician but after trying multiple beginner packages, I can say that the Donner package is much better than the Lyx. The padded gig bag and better cable really made a difference. However, I did face some challenges with tuning, especially with the low E string. It’s a beautiful guitar, but I ended up deciding to go for a Fender Squier in the end for better quality control."

"My first guitar had some fret end issues, but after a quick replacement, the second one was perfect! The beautiful finish and playability right out of the box impressed me. I found the included amplifier to be quite decent for its size, making this package an exceptional value for money."

"I found this guitar to be an incredible starter instrument! It arrived in perfect condition, and setting it up was a breeze. Every string sounds beautiful, and I can’t wait to get another one soon!"

"For the price, this guitar is unbeatable. It has nice bright sounds at the bridge, and adjusting the play action is easy. The included amp is a bit cheap-sounding, but overall, it’s a great package for beginners."

"I've had this guitar for over a year, and it has been a fantastic intro guitar. It works perfectly but does go out of tune fairly quickly. Still, for the price, I can't complain—it's truly a bargain!"

"I waited three months for my guitar and was disappointed with its condition upon arrival. The guitar came in a soft cardboard box without external protection, resulting in various flaws. However, I was impressed with its overall heft, finish, and playability. It plays better than typical imports, and I appreciate its resonance. Just manage your expectations regarding quality control, as mine had several cosmetic issues."

"I recently received my IYV SG style guitar, and after a thorough inspection, I can confidently say it's near perfection. The craftsmanship is incredible, and the pickups are fantastic. I've been playing it all day and love the gorgeous finish. The only minor drawback for me is the tremolo system, but it holds tuning well. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase!"

"As a long-time guitarist, I have a large collection, but my IYV SG is truly stunning. The dark cherry finish is immaculate, and I've always been impressed with the quality of IYV guitars. They provide excellent value compared to more expensive brands. I'm excited to add this beauty to my collection!"

"I just received my guitar, and it feels and plays great! I prefer it over my Epiphone Special P90 because it's lightweight and has nice fretwork. The finish is flawless and the American flag design is awesome. The tuners are smooth, and it holds tune well after settling. Overall, it's a fantastic budget-friendly guitar!"

"This guitar exceeded my expectations for its price. It looks fantastic with no blemishes, and the playability is solid. While the pickups are the weakest link, I see potential for upgrades. Great price, great looks, and it’s a perfect mod base!"

"I've been impressed with Leo Jaymz guitars. I bought the purple TL model and loved it so much that I quickly added the green SG to my collection. The playability and price are unbeatable. I’m excited about what’s next for my collection!"

"I ordered this guitar to mod, and I really like the speed neck and the translucent cherry red finish. The frets were good right out of the box, and even though the pickups are weak, I find it playable as is. The body routing is HSH, and I've already made some upgrades while spending under $200. Overall, it's a great choice for anyone wanting to customize their instrument!"

"I got one of these Strat knock-offs for a cheap modular guitar. When I opened the box, I noticed how incredibly light it was, made from paulownia wood. The electronics are decent, but the plastic nut is junk, so I'm planning to replace it with a bone nut. Overall, this guitar is a good option for beginners or anyone looking for a modular canvas to work with."

"I was pleasantly surprised with the clean finish and proper setup of my guitar. The action is nearly perfect, and I've had no issues with the hardware. For an entry-level instrument, it definitely delivers respectable tones and feels like a quality build. I'm happy to see companies that care about providing a good product!"

"I wanted my son to take guitar lessons, so I found this gorgeous, high-quality guitar starter set with an amp included, and it's just perfect! The sound quality is amazing, and it's really great for beginners with easy instructions. We are jamming now!"

"I purchased this electric guitar because I hadn't owned one in a long time. Honestly, this is a very good instrument. It resembles my old Ibanez and feels solid. The amp is amazing for beginners and even serves as a great travel amp with an AUX and headphone port. So far, I’ve had no issues, but I wouldn’t recommend cranking it up too high as it might blow the speaker out."

"After buying this electric guitar for my grandson, we found a minor issue with the volume button being broken. However, I contacted Amazon, and they quickly resolved the problem. The amp that came with it is an amazing little amp for beginners. I was so impressed that I ended up ordering the Ktaxon bass amp as well!"
