Refurbished - Yamaha EG-112 Electric Guitar (no amp) Yamaha EG-112 Electric Guitar
Customer Review: A decent starter guitar
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
Customer Review: Disappointed
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.
