Quality branded instrument and amp.
I've got mine today in Milton Keynes, there were 3 more on the shelf when I left.

Pacifica 012 entry level electric guitar.
For an inexpensive yet high-quality introduction to the world of rock guitar, you’ll not find better value than the Pacifica 012.
Modelled on the best-selling Pacifica 112, the new, even more affordable 012 has a similarly contoured double-cutaway body, and the firepower of a raunchy bridge-position humbucker plus two clear-toned single-coil pickups. The five-position pickup switch allows selection of those classic ‘in-between’ sounds, while the vibrato bridge is a well-proven vintage design with six individually adjustable saddles for accurate intonation and a slinky set-up.

Features Electric guitar:
Tonewoods – rosewood, maple, and Agathis/Nato used throughout the construction giving a balanced sound with even and clear response from both the highs and the lows – important for developing good technique from the start.
Pick-ups (humbucker and single coils) – offering a sound to suit any style, you'll never get bored: Rock, funk, blues, country, jazz are all possible with the click of the 5 position selector switch and a simple turn of the easily accessible tone and volume controls.
Quality tuning gearing - for simple, stable and reliable tuning.
Neck – Slim fast neck expertly contorted for easy accurate playing and comfort.
Even and accurate fret positioning – means that it sounds in tune as you play further down the neck. It's also important to be in tune when learning as a group.
Through lacquer finish – protects from humidity keeping the adjustment stable and maintaining its lustre for years to come.
Line 6 amplifier:
Plug into perfectly distilled collections of American and British amp tones, paired down to the very essentials. Spider IV 15 gives you access to a variety of tones that every guitarist wants. Shimmering clean tones, a classic crunch inspired by a 100-watt Marshall Plexi, punchy high-gain heaven inspired by a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, and more.
Smart FX knobs put award-winning Line 6 effects at your fingertips. Easy to use, Smart FX let you spend less time tweaking and more time playing. Easily add or remove any amount of lush reverb, exceptional echo, tangy mods, and more. The knobs are located on the amp's front panel, so you can make all your adjustments on the fly.
User presets
Create up to four custom-made presets for the music that you play. Save each one to a Channel memory and recall it instantly with the touch of a button. Connect an FBV Express MkII or FBV2 foot controller to recall or scroll your user presets remotely.
Silent killers
Spider IV 15 is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It can do something that many other amps can't: it can produce great tone - including scorching high-gain tones - at low volumes. It's ideal for late-night jamming, small spaces, and any place where size, weight, and volume are a factor.
Stay focused
To get the whole story of Spider IV amplifiers, you need to turn one around. All Spider IV combo amps feature a perfectly tuned three-quarter closed-back cabinet. This provides a tight, punchy, focused response that you can't get from an open-back cabinet.
The Spider IV 15 guitar amp is packed with real-time and professional presets to take your sound to the next generation.
Tune up
You'll always sound your best with the built-in tuner. No need for an external tuner or additional guitar cables, this invaluable tool is integrated into the amp's front panel. Activate the tuner with the push of a button.
Speak up
Celestion guitar speakers are world renowned for their exceptional definition, clarity, and feel. A 12" Celestion custom speaker helps clean tones sparkle and sing, creamy overdrives respond to the intricacies of your picking, and searing brutal tones launch themselves from the cabinet.

Good deal for a branded guitar and amp. Costco are great at returns, so if you find you can't on with it (weight, action etc) they will take it back with no issues.

The 112 is the one to have if you can afford it but this is an excellent guitar and amp package for the price.The guitar on its own is £157 on Amazon - Hot

Have to butt in and say this is a great deal, played many guitars and the Pacifica is just a great entry level instrument that sounds great

for branding I know that amp will be insanely good, I haven't tried yamaha guitars myself but I hear good things. as above comments point out though the price for guitar alone is a hell of a deal, with the amp too this is like gold dust for someone in their first year or two of playing guitar

Shame this deal wasn't on last Christmas when I was shopping around for my Son. Ended up buying him the Squier Affinity Stratocaster which is very nice, but considerably more than this one

Yamaha Pacificas are total work horses. Loads of studios have variations of these in the cupboard as the stock instrument. I wish this had been my first guitar 30 years ago. I'd probably still have it. Heat.

I wish that sort of kit had been available even at that price when I started playing, 38 years ago.
