This was my first guitar and it was very nice sounding with distortion and on clean. The pickups have unique sounds when you switch them. And it is a great guitar for the price. I looked at other starter guitars and there was none like this the other ones were all really bad a break easily. I love Ibanez but even there starter kit guitars are cheap.

I bought this guitar from a dealer about a year and a half ago. It has been giving me problems from the start. Doesn't stay in tune, the tuners are stiff and don't tune well at all. Whammy bar use with this guitar is bad as well. Gets the guitar terribly out of tune.

My Dad bought this one for me as a first electric guitar. The bridge pick up is great for rock n' roll. this axe always stays in tune and the tremalo bar never makes a diffrence in the tuning. The neck is beyond smooth. My older brother who has been playing for 7 years and wont ever give it back to me.

This guitar is worth the price and pretty good for beginners. It has a nice sound, but, a little more distortion would be better. It has a five way switch and the guitar does not have a year yet and is giving me problems switching from distortion to clean and vice versa. The thing I like is that the guitar stays in tune but when you use the tremolo, even touching it, the strings comes out of tune, but for a reason not the factory strings; it would be better if you change the tuners for locking ones. But the guitar still nice and at a great and affordable price for beginners.

I feel in love with this guitar first sight! Not only does it play like a 57' strat this yamaha looks like one two! The neck was as smooth as silk and the whammy bar doesnt throw off the tuning at all!
