## Description

Solid Body Electric Guitar.

Review: Exceptional craftsman for a Introductory Guitar - I am simply amazed at the quality on this instrument. I have taken delivery today and writing this review after playing for a few hours. First fretwork is amazing beautifully polished, tops and ends, The fretboard edge is even beveled slightly, a nice upgrade touch. The neck is straight and true so far no ftet buzzing even after lowering the action. The wood grain finish on the body is subtle but looks great, the neck pocket has no spacings at all. The tuners are smooth we will see if they hold tune but the seem above average for a budget guitar. The rosewood neck shows beautiful grain. The body is full size but not overly heavy, the neck is slim and has a relatively flat 13" radius, accordingly it plays easly and smooth like an Ibanez. The tone and sound are great it sounds "like a stat" i would say with a warmer tone, I really like the bridge humbucker instead of the more twangy single coil. The squatted off Bottom lets the guitar res comfortable on the leg for playing sitting down. I would say this is on part with the EART Strat mode, but without the SS Frets. The nut seems to be cut properly , the volume and tone pots have a nice resistance found on more expensive guitars, CONS the bridge is the "early Type" fender stamped bridge its functional but cheap looking. The guitar has stayed in tune with moderate Trem use.
Review: Perfect - Best quality, bets sound for a fanatic price. Should have bought this for my first electric guitar. Great for shows, Greta for beginners, holds in value with finishes and sound quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where do put the battery in the guitar ?**
A: The guitar is nice and thick, so if you need to cut out a little compartment to store batteries in you should have plenty of room! For a temporary solution, you could probably use some duct tape to strap them to the outside.

**Q: Is there a 240 volt version of this?**
A: I bought mine in the US, but for me to use it in Uganda I had to get a step-up (110/120v to 220/240v) transformer and it worked out fine. However, one can order the pack from Amazon-UK and you will get the 240v version of the amplifier.

**Q: Does the back of the guitar also have sunburst? Or is it flat black?**
A: The back also has sunburst. It's an exceptionally well-crafted, beautifully finished guitar.

**Q: Is this an adult size guitar? is it light?**
A: The package says that it has a Yamaha PAC012, which I bought recently for my 10 year old daughter who is a new player. It is a full sized guitar, but not too big for a young player to start with. It is also not too heavy and its comfortable to hold. It has been a very good starter guitar for her. We bought only the guitar, not the package.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just a great value for a beginner guitar
*by C***R on April 23, 2020*

I bought this guitar because I thought that learning the guitar would be a good activity to keep busy during our coronavirus quarantine. I did a lot of research to determine the best way to spend a small amount of money to see if this was something that I would enjoy. I ordered the "old violin sunburst" and received it a few weeks ago. The guitar is beautiful. It looks REALLY nice in person and those that have seen it always comment on how attractive it is. Once tuned, the guitar has remained in tune without much, if any adjustment. The fit and finish appear to be flawless. Everything works the way it should. All the switches and knobs are responsive and feel like they are of high quality. The guitar sounds great, all the frets appear to be cut well and the strings ring properly at every position. I have an old amp that I use and all the pickups work and sound great to my ear. I have no complaints at all. Without scouring garage sales for a rare mint condition used guitar at a killer price, I cannot imagine getting more for your money than this. It does not feel like something marketed to beginners or children or casual players at all. My considerable research led me to conclude that Yamaha guitars at this price-point are considerably better than those put out by the bigger "guitar brands" for similar prices. Having purchased and used this guitar, I see no reason to argue with that conclusion. I am very pleased with my purchase.
