Yamaha Review: EG303

History:

Purchase: Got this guitar as a package(Gig bag, guitar, 15w amp) for my 14 birthday. Paid about $ 200 for it.

What I Like About This Yamaha EG303: This guitar played pretty well and gave different tone qualities. Pickups were alright and it had an attractive black finish. Stayed in tune well, perfect for a beginner.

What I Do NOT Like About The Yamaha EG303: After about a year, this guitar completely crapped out. The input jack had always given me a little trouble, but I didn't expect it to fall out. The gig bag is a piece a plastic shit and the package didn't even come with a pick. I had to use a damn dime and a pick cut from cardboard. The neck was kinda slow but since it was my first guitar I didn't care.

Yamaha EG303 Quality Rating: Besides the input jack, this thing is fuckn tank. Its survived many violent acts of aggresion such as being thrown across a room and even stepped on. Maybe thats why the jack was messed up but I don't think so. Your better off buying American or Mexican products. Japanese guitars usually suck.

Review Summary: Its a nice beginner guitar and I learned to play on it, even though the neck cuts the shit out of your hand. But it made my hands tougher.

Rating of this Yamaha product: 3
