Review: We be jamming - Nice guitar for the price
Review: AMAZING - I got this as my first guitar in 2016, So far, my Gibson Les Paul which is hard case kept has had to be deep cleaned, peg changed, and tone lever changed costing me over $400 of just maintenance throughout the years. But this Yamaha which is kept out in the air has had absolutely ZERO problems and still shines like it did when I first got it. When paired with a good amp (i have the fender mustang III) it sounds incredible and you can’t really tell between this one and the Gibson, I still play it for fun even though i own 3 guitars.
