« Yamaha ERG 121 »

this was my first guitar and it cost £150 but this was a really good deal it is normally £180. Anyway it came with practice amp strap...ect.

I really like its price! It has an excelent volume control knob and tone switch. It is a nice wieght not so light you feel you've bought nothing for your money but not so heavy you can barely lift it let alone play. It also has fantastic acustic ability and can be heard easily without an amp this is very useful for a learner because they may have leasons with out an amp.

I obviously loved this guitar because i knew no other. But as i got better and tried other guitars i soon found its faults. It has a lot of pickups which i must say makes me feel uneasy, it has 2 humbuckers and a regular. It has so many they must be poor quality because they cost so little. The tone knob does very little for the guitar except add extra wieght. It can come out of tune quite easily.

The main neck and structure of the guitar are solid but i easily lost a screw which helds in a pickup.

An excellent choice for a begginer - cheap and cheerful - however looking for a more experienced player then look elsewhere.
