MGR/Spyder « Yamaha RBX 270 »
Published on 08/02/04 at 15:00I bought this baby at guitar center for 140 big american dollars. It was on sale so I couldn't resist.
First off this guitar just feels nice. It is balanced and unlike the fenders and Fender clones it doesn't feel like it came off an assebly line.
playablility. I tought myself how to play with this baby so it is very easy to play. the neck is nice and narrow accross the finger board.
nobs. what the heck are plastic nobs doing on a beutiful guitar like this? somebody got confused because a peace of art like the 270 should have diamond inlay nobs not stupid little plastic things off of a lego set. That and I honestly can figure out what the third nob does. It doesn't control volume or tone or my hairdoo or anything else. (the first nob is volume and the second is fade in between the pickups) other than the nobs this is a fine peace of work.
Built like a tank. unlike fenders and squires you don't have to sand the neck to avoid getting a whole figgen tree stuck in your hand. everything is nice and smooth. the finish is awesome (birght red) I wouldn't trade this for anything that suire can throw together.
If you can find this for anywhere under 200 get it right now!!!!!! This is a good first guitar and will last you for at least 4 years. My buddies and myself only play yamaha basses because they are so supior to anything else out there. given the choice now though if i coulda go the 170 for 50 less I woulda dun it just because there is an individual volume control for each pickup instead of a fade.

If you think you want to get a squire DON'T
If you can't afford the rbx 270 get the 170
If you can get the 270 for 140 like i did DO IT NOW
If you think this guitar sucks get back on your medication!
peace
