not trying to be negative just looking at it from experience.
hey fellas nice place you have going,personally the amp is good starter,the yamaha gonna sound like shiet thru it.I dont want to be negative but,now it depends on how dedicated to learning guitar u are gonna be,you just wanna learn a few songs to impress the ladys then the yamaha will do.If you are gonna be serious about the guitar and really learn the magic,drop that scrap wood,sell it,take the money and GO get A BFG Gibson.For starters a new player needs a stop style tail piece,no floating crap,newbie trys any bends and that junk will never tone up,and pull the other strings out.You need consistancy of tone to train your ear,unless you are super gifted in which case you would already know that Yamaha hasnt got any serious,consistent all over the board tone.At least the BFG all tho highly unfinished cosmetically,is a rock and roll flamethrower for sure,serious tone to train your ear, consistent tone.Forget about bolt ons,even copys,No bull The real deal,I screwed around for years till i got my first Les Paul,You will end up getting one anyway or may a maybe a decent older Fender.I know money is an issue probably but sell the yamaha get an acoustic you gonna need one anyway.Warm up on an acoustic,shred on your Gibson.1000 canadian for the BFG,seen one on ebay 850 ish i think, could be wrong,personally I'd buy a Pink Vixen I seen on a want ad brand new 800 candian before I'd buy another guitar with no decent tone,and that Vixen Gibsons are geared to women.Listen bud I'm sure youll do fine with the yamaha not trying to burst your bubble,I guess only you can answer whether buying this thing WAS it a Fashion statement or a Function statement.I just know how much of your time you gonna waste on the latter.Well thats all folks. My First Post.Great forum
