Guitar starter packs: when are they worth it

What a guitar starter pack includes, when it beats buying separately, and the best-selling packs with today's prices.

What's in a pack

An electric guitar pack usually includes a guitar, small amp, gig bag, cable, strap, picks and tuner. It's worth it if you're starting from scratch; less so if you already have an amp or want a specific guitar. Look mostly at the guitar: it's what lasts.
