This is a great little package from Fender which includes everything you need to get started on your way to learning electric guitar. In this article we’ll look at exactly what’s included in the package and how best to put it all to use.
The call sign of this guitar and amp package from Fender is ’stop dreaming, start playing’ and I think that sums up the mindset of a lot of kids who would be interested in buying this guitar/amp combo. It includes a Squire Affinity Stratocaster and a Frontman 15 watt amp, also from Fender. It’s nice to also have a tuner, cable, gig bag and guitar strap thrown into the package for convenience.
As with most of these kinds of starter electric guitar packages you’ll get an instructional DVD but most people find them pretty useless for learning to play so you’ll probably end up looking for lessons online or going to a local tutor.
The Affinity Stratocaster has the standard design of 3 single coil pickups with the customary 5 way pickup selector. The body of the guitar is hardwood while the fretboard is made from rosewood and is loaded with 21 frets. The tuners are die cast chrome and this guitar is equipped with the standard fulcrum bridge.
Turning our attention to the amp the Front man 15G is styled to copy the classic Fender Blackface with it’s silver grill cloth. The sound is decent from them however it’s a clean tone amp and if you want any kind of good sounding distortion you’ll have to invest in multi effects pedal to put in front of it. Luckily these are quite cheap and you’ll also get a lot of other very useful effects such as reverb, delay and chorus thrown in.
The amp has switch-able channels from normal to drive and an AUX in just in case you want an input for a microphone, CD or drum machine. It’s a small starter package and well priced for what you get. In a year when you are better at playing you can always invest in better setup.

Blackface $37.98 Of all of David Levinthal’s previous series of photographs, none is more challenging and provocative than his Blackface series, created over the previous three years. Levinthal has used his toy collection to question national myths, our childhood dreams, and the stereotypes and misperceptions of race and cultural identity. In his blow-up images of miniature toys he has recreated scenes of racism, genocide, and sexual fantasies. This series explores the blackface myth embodied in "black memorabilia", household objects infused with African-American stereotypes. Perhaps the artist’s most important works, these images make the blackface myth speak to us directly, without an intermediary, and demand a response from us regardless of our race, age, or gender. Levinthal’s Blackface images present a paradox; one that pits the beauty of photographic representation against the racism underscored by these ignoble objects. Magnified with the 20 x 24 inch Polaroid camera, the Blackface pictures explore viewer subjectivity, and question the recent popularity of "black memorabilia" amongst the African-American intelligentsia and why the manufacture of these objects proliferated earlier in this century. The photographs are accompanied by an in-depth scholarly essay by noted writer, critic, and filmmaker Manthia Diawara, an expert on the representation of the African-American in film, photography, and popular media. This book promises to be make major contributions to contemporary African-American studies. |

The Fender Bass $9.98 The Fender Bass, created 40 years ago by the inventive genius of Leo Fender, still remains today as the definitive electric bass. Before Fender, there was simply no electric bass at all! Leo’s design was so revolutionary that it rapidly became a ‘classic,’ an essential element which was responsible for defining the image of modern music. Every new bass is inspired (more or less) from his basic design. The Fender Bass tells the detailed story of the electric bass through the different models and their improvements, from their origins to the present form. Includes hundreds of black and white and color photos of the basses and their most famous players. |
