Published on 04/17/06 at 15:00I bought this guitar as my first ever guitar from Woolworths for only £150 with a GA-10 Practice AMP, Audio Lead and Gig Bag. I think it is an excellent price for a beginner/entry level guitar though I would advise getting it from somewhere else as it took over a month for them to send it.
I like almost everything about this guitar specialy for the price I payed. Its a strat style guitar with a solid maple body. The colour of the body is fully black which in my opinion is a great colour for a guitar. It has 2 humbucker pickups and 1 single coil pickup which in my opinion is excellent as I have used a Fender Squire with 3 single coils and another guitar with 2 humbuckers and to me the pickup setup on this guitar beat both of them easy and made much heavyer sounds than the other two guitars. The guitar is also very easy to tune and stays in tune for quite long which is great.
The Low E string on this guitar does have a bit of fretbuzz which can b anoying but I'm sure I could get it sorted out. One thing that can get anoying with it being totaly black is that it marks very easy and you only have to look at it to get a finger print on it but that doesnt bother me to much. Other than that id say that theres nothing really bad about it.
I have had the guitar for about 8 months now and nothing has broke on it yet. It is very solid and well built as can be expected by a make like Yamaha and is deffinately the best quality you could get for £150.
On the whole this guitar is excellent and you would have a hard time finding a beginner or entry level guitar that is as good quality as this for a price as good as this.
