Juarez Electric Guitar 38" Strat Style, H-S-S Pickup, 21 Frets, Full Black Gloss Finish, Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, Chrome Hardware – with Bag, Tremolo Rod, Cable, Picks & Allen Key

Juarez guitar is a really good and the cheapest guitar, especially for beginners and the strings are so soft that it is like the best electric guitar you will ever have! If you have a low budget and really looking forward to buy the cheapest and the good electric guitar, this one is for you! If you’re really serious about having music career.. and not playing it for fun then this one is good for you too! Side by side, if you order this electric guitar and will plug the guitar cable to AMP/ audio interface, it will create a hell of a buzzing sound! Fine? This one is the main disadvantage of this cable that comes with guitar! It has 2 tones, which it creates warmer and a brighter sound also good for some vibes if you’re playing some gig or a band! Reviews: I ordered the Juarez Guitar 1-2 months back! I did not have the Amplifiers so I connected the guitar cable with Focusrite Audio Interface! so it created a buzzing sound even on a low gain! and that’s why I had to buy new guitar cable which cost 70 INR / 0.84$ On top of it, it worked! It was fine and was playing hella good!

This is one of the best guitars out there for beginners and intermediates alike, the gain isn't that good but the overall quality of the product is decnent. The back of the fretboard seems a bit unfinished but comes with a polished wooden structure.

I currently own two Juarez Strat style electrics, bought the first one during my bachelors degree, as a throwaway instrument, as I did not want to carry out any mods on my Fender American Special Stratocaster. I carried out a relic'ing process on the first and stained the sanded down body to a walnut finish, swapped out the knobs and hard-tailed the bridge. Later on, I purchased a second identical Juarez electric this year, as I was wary of domestic air travel with my Fender Strat to IIM, for my masters degree. This instrument serves me well for spare time noodling and the occasional jam session with my peers, during which I use a BlackStar tube amp. Apart from a tune up and setup, I wanted to personalise the look of the guitar, so I dismantled it and wrapped the pick-guard with a B/W laptop skin that I got on amazon, for a grunge sorta look. I plan to replace the standard black knobs with Les Paul style Black-Gold Witch Hat knobs too. Now coming to these guitars and my takeaways from them, keeping my 2011 Fender American Special Strat (Candy Apple Red, Texas Special P'ups) as the highest reference point: 1) The Juarez JRZ-ST01 guitars have decent build quality for the cost, considering they are about 50% lesser than Squier/Vault Strats. They do get cheaper around Amazon Sales. 2) REPLACE THE FACTORY STRINGS, anyone ordering this guitar should get a set of good "new" strings from a reputed manufacturer either Fender, Ernie Ball, D'Addario or others. I prefer the D'Addario EXL120 9-42 strings. 3) It would be ideal to get a setup done for the instrument from a luthier or music store nearby, however you could undertake that process yourself, if you have the time and the tools (a set of Allen keys, screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches). Go slow and never avoid over-tightening. There are quite a few guides on YouTube where you can learn how to setup a Strat- style guitar. 4) The back of the necks on both instruments I bought were smooth enough, but a light sanding down with the 400 grit or higher sand paper will improve the feeling. 5) The fretwork varies from okay to really impressive for the price range (I have worked on a few Squire Strats and one Mexican, that had worse frets than these... a lot of fret sprout to be precise). The frets themselves are the narrow-tall variety, not jumbo fret-wire. 6) The tuning pegs were not tightened down enough, I would recommend using wrenches of the appropriate size to cinch down the nuts on the top. 7) The tuning pegs themselves are alright, but if you do plan to play a lot of tremolo/whammy bar stuff, then upgrade the tuning pegs (Stagg in Line Locking tuners from Furtados would do well). 8) The nut is plastic, I would recommend using a bit of graphite powder from a pencil lead to help the strings glide easily across the grooves. You could replace the nut for a Stagg Bone nut from Bajaao. Ensure you get the right width/length. 9) The Pickups sound okay, you would have to set their heights with a simple 'star' screwdriver to sound good. Would suggest checking out Berkeley Guitar Prof, Tomo Fuijta's video on pickup heights. 10) The truss rod did not need any adjustment out of the box, but again this can vary depending on the QC. If you do plan to mess with the truss rod, go slow, only quarter turn at a time. 11) The guitar cable that was provided with the instrument is quite subpar, I would recommend getting a better cable from Amazon (D'addario, Fender, Vox...), with a right angle connector at one end so it plugs easily into your amp/processor. The Juarez JRZ-ST01 is great for your teenage kid who wants an electric, it serves the purpose well and is a low cost investment, should they give up the instrument later (can think of a long line of my peers across school till college, who have given up playing their instruments over time). For those considering this guitar on a longer run, it is a good starting place for the cost. I would strongly advise you to get the instrument set up by a luthier for another 1-2k and change the stock strings. The black and sunburst finishes look good, in my opinion. Would I shell out another 6-8k for a Squire Bullet Strat? Nopes, that extra cash can be put to better use, as even the Squier/Vault Strat would require a setup to play really well. Most guitars under 500USD are not shipped out of factories with good playing setups. Setting up an instrument well, is time/labour intensive. Thus, any leftover cash could be used to get a tuner pedal and a good strap. If you do continue playing this Juarez electric guitar over time and want to upgrade, it would be wise to go from this JRZ-ST01 to a Mexican Stratocaster or a Squier Vintage Modified, in the long run. The JRZ-ST01 electric pairs well with the Marshall MS-2, Boss Katana and quite a few other modelling amps for practice. This instrument does well for most genres, such as pop, rock, country and such. However if you really want a "Humbucker" for metal/Prog-Rock, then shell out more and get the Vault dual humbucker guitar. To sum up, I would draw parallels between this guitar and the Maruti Alto, a first car for many... a good enough stepping stone to begin on (cost effective, needs some initial fine tuning), but something you would have to eventually upgrade from. I play jazz drums primarily and rock/funk guitar. My at-home guitar rig comprises of a BlackStar HT Tube Head with a Marshall Studio Classic 212 Cabinet.

This is certainly the cheapest electric guitar you can get..and it plays good too..have checked the pickup they sound really good.. the fretboard needs some work though..which i will do it myself..the delivery people mishandled the instrument and did not take any effort to handle it with care.. the seller should have put an instruction instead..also no amazon packing was used to protect the instrument..the result was a damaged fretboard(loosened from the body). i initiated a replacement but then decided to fix the fretboard myself and use it..after fixing the fretboard the guitar seems good and playable.. bought the guitar for my son who can keep the guitar in school for practice...this guitar is good for practice and also for performance.. you cant get anything better than this in this price..

The delivery is very bad, the pack6is not done weel m amplifier is missing. N return option is even not possible why, amount is taken in full atleast then sent the amplifier

First of all its so good looking I love it . Guys go for the hss guitar for more options of tones The guitar has a very good finishing on it The size is perfect for any adult The amplifier is loud and clear but we really needed a distortion knob The amplifier is actually extremely loud for its size and perfect for room or small band practice The guitar has a gorgeous sunburst color The string is very good but I would like if it would hold the tuning ... Like yes the tuning holds when u play but after it is laid idle after 3 hours it goes out of tune The tone knobs don't have a lot of difference tbh I am an acoustic player shifting to electric bought this guitar to learn how to play electric properly but after testing this guitar i don't think so I will require a better guitar This guitar is perfect for stage Yes I will still recommend to buy a better amp but this amp is beginner friendly that's all that matters It just needs a distortion knob nothing else The string is very flexible The string has not broken when I have tested it by putting huge amount of tension If u r buying guitar for first time buy this item is worth it believe me The quality of the exterior feels far superior to my yamaha acoustic guitar around the same prize The pickup is great Please adjust the truss rod it makes a hell lot of difference The neck bend is minimal I will recommend to get new strings if u cannot use this set but it is also good as it is soft and flexible
