Yamaha EG303 Reviews5 Found On 2004-03-08, Jeremy gave this Yamaha Electric Guitar a 2...(8202)
Purchase: I bought this Guitar of a friend for AUD$200 which included a 30watt amp and a soft case. it's in pretty good condition and is all you need for your first guitar.
Pros: what i like about the EG303 is that it can withstand any sort of bump (eg. when you drop it), this making it the ideal beginer guitar. it also keeps tune very well and i guess is worth the money when you think about it.
Cons: it's probably a bit too heavy and bulky, and once you get better you are probly going to want a better one almost straight away. its sometimes frustrating to play aswell as it doesnt always have the best sound.
Quality: It's a very solid tough unit that can handle any sort of bashing and still be fine. No matter how much you play it, it will last a very long time. Summary: The EG303 is more of a begginers guitar but it's all you need to start off with and it should last a very long time. i recommend the EG303 to any one starting off as it is very cheap, and very tough.
im only rating it 2 because im comparing it to pretty much every guitar out there, and there are some guitars this one can't compare too.

Purchase: I bought this off of a friend for $100 with the soft case that came with the guitar.
Pros: As mentioned in another review it is great for a beginner and it does stay in tune very well. This guitar has lasted 3 years of getting knocked around, intense temperature and humidity (both highs and lows), and me playing the hell out of it. I had the trust rod adjusted once and haven't had to mess with it since.
Cons: The whammy bar does not rotate smoothly. Furthermore, this guitar does not produce great sound without a little distortion.
Also, the soft case sucks and will fall apart.
Quality: This guitar is very sturdy and can take a lot of abuse. Summary: This guitar is great for a beginner. First of all its sturdy and won't fall apart if you knock it around a little. Secondly, its cheap and if you decide you want to invest some more money into your instrument you can upgrade your pickups and what not and have a great guitar.

Purchase: I got it in Des Moines, Iowa My dad got it for my bithday from a pawn shop.it was $160
Pros: I like the shape of the guitar itself and the width of the neck. It sits very comfortable in my lap and thats a plus.
Cons: I dont like the volume and tone controls they seem to be cheap.I dislike the neckstrap screw, it always seems to come off.The strings are also to close together and it the paint smudges with fingerprints easy.
Quality: It seemed to be put together ok. except for the volume and tone controls other that that it stayed together. Summary: This guitar is a beginner guitar and would not stand up to a past a beginners level playing.

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

Purchase: I bought this guitar along with a practice amp for about 170 dollars...it was a gift, so I'm not entirley sure where it was purchased.
Pros: This was a decent first guitar...good for a beginner to learn the basics on...the tone is relativly good for a cheap guitar.
Cons: My biggest problem was with the neck. The strings are so close together it feels almost as if it were built for a kid. This guitar has probably the slowest neck I've played on. The single-coil pickups are virtual crap, and getting any kind of sustain is impossible, even with the use of different effects pedals. On top of that, the strap nut is odd, so most straps come lose way too often for my taste.
Quality: The quality is okay...for a cheap guitar. Like I said, this is okay for a beginner, as long as he is under 14 and not into any heavy music. The tonal quality can be good for light blues, jazz, but this is by no chance a hard rock/metal guitar. Summary: This is a stratocaster style guitar.
