MGR/RDF « Yamaha 335 II »
Published on 12/30/03 at 15:00Purchased on Ebay for 175.00
This guitar is a no nonsense guitar. It is very solidly made with no real frills. It simply sounds great for this grade of guitar. It consistently out performs any other guitars in this class with a great low end, and nicely rings mids and highs. It is a guitar that you can take anywhere and not worry much about it. It could be made to look a little nicer. These things can be set up so low, and still not buzz. I own two of them and another Yamaha model, and they are all that way.
For the way this thing plays it could have a little nicer look. I wouldn't mind seeing better tuners on it also. The stock ones are okay, but there are many better tuners on the market today.
This thing is built like a tank. I take it with me everywhere, and it seems to perform admirably in every situation. I've had it at campfires, to swimming pools, worship services, to basements, and it sounds great everywhere. I thing you could nearly drive nails with this guitar, and it would probably still sound good.
If you're looking for a guitar that will stand the test of time, and come out shining like a star, buy one of these, if you can get your hands on one of them. I'm giving this a 5 on the ratings scale for it's class of guitar. This isn't built like a Taylor, Larrivee, etc... but it's a workhorse guitar, and for that your can't take away from it.
