Value For Money :
Excellent
Strat-shaped guitar to the exact technical characteristics refer to the Yamaha site or at various retail sites online.
UTILIZATION
Channel to play nice and overall very good ergonomics. Access to acute is easy and the sound is very good. A slight tightening of the bridge may however be necessary to prevent certain strings do curl.
SOUNDS
The original pickups are good but can be a little lacking in personality. For my part I use mostly single microphone, a Fender Frontman 15G for pop / rock. Knob level tone, it is almost fully to the treble.
The pickups have been upgraded after a year of GFS vintage (70 € in total) in, and benefit to shield the interior copper tape, eliminating the very slight hiss that could be starting with the volume knob maximum.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year and I am fully satisfied. The price / quality ratio is excellent, especially for beginners.
