Customer Reviews
Great Starter Guitar
I shopped around at music stores to price a good starter guitar. I
was told about this product. After I went home I looked it up on line
and the price was much less here through Amazon. I am very happy with
the guitar so far.
Great sound - Slightly poor worksmanship, Bad Case
I got this guitar to replace my Mitchell guitar based on reviews.
The price was good.
Also, it is the Yamaha brand name.
The sound, I was told by my teacher, was very good and he said it was a good buy.
The tuner is OK....better to buy a Korg tuner from Amazon.
Haven't tried the DVD yet.
I have only two complaints:
1) The bag, as pointed out by another review, is very flimsy. It
has no straps, no padding. It just has a carry handle. You would want
to buy another gig bag
2) The worksmanship is lacking at certain points....e.g. where the
neck extends on to the body of the guitar, you see glue that was
squeezed out from under. I am a stickler for aesthetics. Some people
are not bothered with such stuff.
OVERALL A VERY GOOD GUITAR
PS - You might want to check out the GigMaker Deluxe...similar
guitar but has a solid spruce top and is only $10-$20 extra. I did not
know about it otherwise would have bought that.
However, as I came to know later, solid wood tops sound good but
need to be kept in controlled humidity whereas the laminate tops don't
care about humidity. If you want to control humidity, you can buy a
little humidifier (no electricity needed) that drops into the sound
hole of the guitar.
Good Starter Kit
I bought this to learn to play the guitar. It was a nice started
kit. It came with all the basics and was a good deal for the price. The
only downside was the guitar case. Very flimsy and no padding. You
definitely will want to purchase another guitar case if you will be
carrying it around. Other than that though, it is a great buy!
