Description

This second hand electric guitar is in great condition

The Encore Blaster E6 is one of the UK’s most common beginner electric guitars , a budget Strat‑style instrument designed to get new players started without spending much. It’s inexpensive, widely available, and often sold in starter packs. But how good is it really, and who is it best for?

 Build Quality & Design

The Blaster E6 follows the classic Stratocaster formula:

  • Double‑cutaway body
  • Three single‑coil pickups
  • Tremolo bridge
  • Bolt‑on neck

Encore’s manufacturing is based in Asia using CNC machining, allowing them to keep costs low while maintaining decent consistency.

  • Construction is surprisingly solid for the price
  • Fit and finish are acceptable, though not flawless
  • Hardware is basic but functional
  • The guitar is lightweight, making it ideal for younger players

This is very much a beginner‑tier instrument, but it doesn’t feel like a toy.

 Tone & Electronics

The Encore uses three ceramic single‑coil pickups wired in the traditional Strat layout.

  • Bright, cutting highs
  • Thin but usable mids
  • Clean tones are decent

 

Playability

This is where budget guitars often struggle, but the Blaster E6 performs reasonably well.

For the cost, you get a playable, versatile Strat‑style guitar that can genuinely help a beginner learn without frustration

Pros

  • Excellent value for beginners
  • Lightweight and comfortable
  • Classic Strat versatility
  • Decent build quality for the price
  • Widely available in starter packs

The Encore Blaster  is a solid, no‑nonsense beginner guitar. It’s not trying to compete with Fender or high‑end copies — it’s designed to be affordable, playable, and versatile enough for a new guitarist to explore different styles.

If you’re a beginner, a parent buying for a child, or someone wanting a cheap modding platform, the Blaster is a perfectly respectable choice.
