Customer Reviews of Refurbished - Yamaha EG-112 Electric Guitar (no amp)

I'm Very Happy With This Guitar, but...
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
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!
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!
