MGR/Tuyop « Yamaha RGX 112 »
Published on 04/09/04 at 15:00I was training on a classical for four or five months, and I wanted to get more into rock, so my parents bought me this guitar for Christmas, along with an amp. I think it was $120 used. They threw in a wicked sixty dollar gig bag too, really nice bag.
I love this guitar. The action is so low and perfect, the strings have a nice, worked in feel that I haven't found anywhere else. The body deserves special mention. The hard edges and smooth, subtle curves get lots of compliments. People are always like, "Man, your guitar is so sexy.". I have a white one, so the black fretboard, pickups and volume and tone controls make a really nice contrast. It's just beautiful.
I had some problems with the tuners, I had to stick toothpicks in the screw holes so they wouldn't fall out. The stock pickups aren't so great, but they still sound good. The whammy bar broke off in my bridge and I had to get it professionally removed, so the whammy bar was a little cheap.
This guitar holds up really well, keeps a tune, no problems with the nut or bridge, low action, great quality guitar.
This is an excellent beginners guitar. I never sold it and never will. With a pickup upgrade it was the best guitar I saw for awhile, I performed with it, still do sometimes. It's good for blues and rock. I'd say it's the best beginner guitar you can buy. Same price as a Squier, but at least ten times the guitar, if you can find it. I love this guitar.
