3.0 out of 5 stars Good But Needs Work, January 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Refurbished - Yamaha EG-112 Electric Guitar (no amp) (Electronics)

I got this guitar for my son as a Christmas present and found it has both good and bad points.

The good: Looks new, came with all parts, no scratches or rust. Everything works very well on the guitar with the exceptions noted below.

Excellent price for a beginner guitar.

The bad: Slight fret buzz (strings sometimes hit the frets up by the neck of the guitar), so the guitar will have to be adjusted to eliminate that. In my opinion, that adjustment should have been done before reselling it;

No manual of any sort included, and could not find one on the Yamaha site, so adjustment may be tricky;

Lastly, I agree with one of the other reviewers that the single box packaging is not enough protection for shipping this guitar.

After purchasing this guitar, I was warned to never buy a used guitar online, so I was pretty apprehensive in waiting for it to come. When it got here, it didn't seem that bad. I'm sorry for PH_7 who never got a cable. But mine came with a 9 foot cable, a set of allen keys and the Tremolo arm, which you screw onto the guitar. Although I was a little dissapointed in the guitar's body condition. By refurbished, I guess it means that they replaced certain parts. But my guitar had scratches on the frount, one of the pickup is rusty and the strings are a little old. But hey, it is a used guitar.
All in all, I'm pretty satisfied. I think it's a good guitar for a beginner who doesn't need a $700 fender to start on.

This item was purchased through J&R Music and I was completely disappointed with the company. It was poorly packed (thin box) when I received it...surprisingly the guitar managed to make it fine. I was ordering this as a birthday gift and paid extra for 2-day shipping. Initially it was advertised with an amp...but when I received it there was none. I called the company and asked if the amp was coming in another shipment. They said there was a mistake and I'd have to pack everything up and ship it back to receive the guitar/amp kit. I asked if they'd simply ship me the amp...but was told store policy forbid it. I re-packed and shipped it back, but didn't receive my next order in two days. So, I called and they stated there was an advertising mistake...it didn't come with an amp. I told them they put me in a very bad position with no gift. They were barely apologetic. They did offer to send me overnight another brand kit...which I didn't want. Ended by canceling my order. Each time I called the company, they were confused about my order and I have to talk with two or three different people. They could have solved the whole issue by just sending me an amp. I think it cost them more by shipping back and forth the original order. They just lost a customer. I ended up ordering from another company...but the birthday gift was a week late.
