 A decent starter guitar March 10, 2008
I picked this up to use as a practice/travel guitar. It has a good sound and is a handsome instrument. The softcase included is nothing terribly special, but it's adequate.
On the minus side, the first minor issue is that the included cable is kind of flimsy.
The more annoying issue is that two of the tuners won't hold an adjustment well. It's not quite bad enough for me to return it. I'm contemplating replacing the tuners myself with better ones, but I haven't decided yet.
Pros:
*Good quality guitar
*Excellent condition - no scratches or dings
*Soft case is nice
Cons:
*Tuner knobs could be a better quality
*Included cable is cheesy
 Disappointed November 10, 2007

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.
I'm Very Happy With This Guitar, but... November 22, 2005

I bought my refurbished Yamaha from a different website. When I placed my order, I thought I was getting a brand new guitar. I paid $40 more than Amazon charged because I thought I was getting something brand new. A few days later I checked the website and saw a refurbished notation had been added to the description. Needless to say, I was very apprehensive about what might arrive.
The guitar arrived with a huge REFURBISHED sticker on the box. Sigh. But when I opened the box and took the guitar out of the case I couldn't believe my eyes.
The guitar was beautiful but not an EG-112. What I received was an EG-112C2 with a black metal flake body, black pick guard, and black headstock. What a surprise! And, yes, I did recieve all accessories.
If the guitar hadn't been all black and so cool looking, I would have returned it and bought one from Amazon for a $40 savings. I think I just lucked out in getting that model. Or they may have sent me this one because I called to complain about the change in the description... Who knows?
The biggest problem I had was with the strings. The strings it came with were only so so. When I was in the process of restringing it with D'Addario strings, I couldn't get two of the original strings off the guitar. The bottoms of the strings were really jammed in there. I took the guitar to a local music shop and had to have a bit of work done on it to get the strings out. It took two men to figure out how to remove them without damaging the the guitar.
I could only find a few very minor dings and scratches on the body. No big deal. You'd really have to be looking for them in direct light to see them.
After getting the string problem resolved I found that the guitar sounds and feels great. With new strings and a couple effects pedals, the sound I get from this guitar is outstanding.
In the end...I'm very happy with my Yamaha guitar. Even if there are minor problems that need repaired, you cannot beat the price for an HSS guitar of this quality.
Good But Needs Work January 6, 2004

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.
Great for me! December 30, 2003

Ordered mine a few days before Xmas with free shipping and received it on the 23rd, bravo Amazon! Unfortunatly I did not receive my Rogue 2x12" 100w $150 amp from MusiciansFriend.com until yesterday. The guitar looks brand new and came with everything it was supposed to come with. One of the pickups has a small amount of rust but it is barely noticable. All and all it was a great price for what I was looking for and I didn't have to spend extra money on the small amp I didn't need. Instead I got a much bigger amp for almost the same price as the kit!
