 "Awesome guitar" 2010-04-16
By Steven A. Fisher (Burbank, CA)
My son loves it. The guitar is nice, the amp is nice, the patch cords a little iffy, but they're easily replaced. Just a beautiful, great sounding guitar. Anyone into guitar would love to fool around with one of these.

 "Great guitar!" 2009-08-14
By VM
This is one great guitar!



As a beginner, I cannot claim to know much about guitars, but I did do my research. Yamaha make great musical instruments and this guitar is recommended as a great beginner guitar by several places, including About. The package has everything you need to get started.





THE GOOD:

The guitar - One great instrument. The build feels solid and not at all cheap. The strings are close the the fret board which is great. The tuners are very smooth and feel good. The guitar also has 3 pickups and 5 positions which allow you to change up the sound of he guitar from rock to jazz. Basically, this is a really good guitar. And it has two nobs for volume and tone.

The Amplifier - This is a good beginner amplifier. It is small and has 15 watts. It has two channels: Clean and Dirty. Plenty nobs for us beginners to play with: gain, dirty volume, clean volume, treble, middle, bass. Also has a quarter inch headphone jack. Despite what majority might think, 15 watts is enough for just about anything you'll be doing. The 15 watts allows you to turn up the gain all the way up and keep the volume down and still have it sound good.

The electric tuner - a nice little add-on for beginners.

The DVD - great place as any to start. Goes over the basics and teaches several chords.

Other - comes with extra strings :)



THE BAD:

The guitar - none at all.

The Amp - the only bad thing with it (for what it is), is that the headphones jack is a 1/4 inch jack so most of us with 3.5mm standard headphone will either need to get new headphones or adapter to use it. But it is no big deal in my opinion.

The Guitar Cable - it is one cheap cable. Mine broke after 4 days. I also noticed that in the dvd that was provided, the instructor didn't use the cable that was provided but a monster cable, which I found to be funny. You can get a monster cable for pretty cheap here on Amazon, so again, nothing too serious. Order one when you order the guitar so you don't have to wait like I do.

The Guitar Strap - again pretty cheap. It is like one of those run of the mill nylon straps that you see. I am going to invest in a better one but this one will do for most. On a side note, and this is with all guitars. Invest in peg locks. They will prevent the strap from coming off the pegs on the guitar. When putting on my guitar the strap slipped off the peg, but luckily I was holding the guitar very firmly. Again, this is true for all guitars and not just this one.





Bottom line: Great guitar, great package, great buy. I am happy with it.

Great starter for beginner's, The 15 watt amp does a good job, The DVD is very informative. The only drawback is the cord, It is cheap and broke on me the second day, Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on a better quality cord. The guitar it self is top notch, Yamaha has maintained there craftsmanship with this guitar. All in all a great price for a starter.

I'm glad I paid $100 less than what it is now, but if you look up the guitar you will find out that it sells for that much alone.

 "Does The Job For Guitar Lessons" 2010-02-10
By Steeler Fan (Downingtown, PA USA)
I bought this for my kid to use in music class at school to learn to play guitar. The guitar itself sounds great. The bag is a little cheap and doesn't protect the guitar. The tuner is easy to use and helpful. I'm not sure if this is normal but I needed to tune this guitar weekly. It did get moved around and played. So, it may be normal to tune a guitar this often. I don't know. When it's in tune, it sounds great. Sound projection is amazing. My kid likes it, too.

 "Good guitar lame extras" 2010-01-09
By Bobbie Joe
This kit comes with a Yamaha guitar, a guitar strap, a tuner, 3 picks, a DVD, and a case. The Guitar itself is very well made and has a great sound. I also like the guitar case it comes with its not a hard case but it is still coveniant for a road trip. Although the tuner is realy cheap, it does not work very well, I actually broke a string using the tuner. I can't even figure out how to put the strap on. Lastly, the dvd is really bad quality. In my opinion you are better off buying just a guitar and a good guitar book, I recommend the book Guitar Method.

Beautiful guitar, fast shipping...what more can you ask for? My son took guitar in school this year and was hooked. I didn't want to spend a fortune when he wanted a guitar for his 13th birthday so after ALOT of research, I found this steal! It's a really nice instrument. The guitar player next door was impressed with it as well. I like that this kit comes with everything he'll need to get started.

 "Great guitar at a fabulous price" 2010-02-01
By D. Houle
I bought this guitar for my boyfriend for christmas and he absolutely loves it. The instructional dvd is very helpful and the tuner worked perfectly. Everyone that has come over has to pick it up and start playing. I priced out many other guitars on here by big names as well and this was the best deal.

 "Getting what you pay for" 2010-01-06
By A. Watkins (Baltimore, USA)
I got this a couple months ago as my first guitar, and at first I was very pleased with it. Once you get it tuned properly it produces a good sound just strumming the strings openly. But as you get better and begin to play more complicated chords and songs, the flaws of this guitar become clear. The action is very poor, and the frets are cheap, as you would expect for the price. The fretboard of my guitar is fairly smooth and comfortable for a guitar of this class, but I know three other people who have this guitar and each one feels different, and the wood on theirs was rougher, so who knows what you will get. However, this is a good guitar for a beginner to learn on, especially because the entire package is a great deal. I've seen complaints about the tuner, but mine works fine. The bag provided is truly a waste, it does nothing for protecting the guitar, so if you plan on moving it around a lot you should consider buying a padded gig bag separately. I haven't used the strap much, but beware that the strap holder on the bottom comes out very easily. I didn't use the second set of strings they provided, so I can't really speak on that (I purchased Ernie Ball Earthwoods, which I would highly recommend). Basically, if you are just starting out this is a good package for you to get, but if you have experience I suggest you spend the extra cash and get a higher quality guitar, it makes a big difference.

 "Not sure if you'll keep playing? Buy this kit. Otherwise, consider buying individual components." 2009-12-01
By B. Bennett (Pittsburgh, PA)
I'd never played guitar until I bought this one last month, so I can't compare this to others, but it's a great deal for the price. Yamaha quality and consistency are worth the few extra dollars you'll spend over cheap starter guitars.



If you're buying this as a gift for a beginner who has nothing, this is probably an awesome deal. If you're buying this for yourself, the extras may not be worth the extra money, unless you're a complete beginner who isn't sure if you'll stay with it, in which case the DVD alone is probably worth it.



Concerning the glue issue raised by another reviewer, mine did not have any unsightly extra glue squeezed out from where the neck extends onto the body. Sure, it's evident that glue was used, but only upon extremely up-close inspection.



--------

PRICE

The guitar alone (F325 Acoustic Guitar) is currently $17 less on Amazon, so you're essentially paying that much for the extras. From what I've seen looking about at DVDs for learning, the DVD is worth that if not more. Unless you decide that playing guitar isn't for you though, you'll most likely be replacing other extras, so, except for the extra set of strings, I wouldn't factor those much into the price.



--------

EXTRAS

Some thoughts on the extras:



DVD: Excellent -- professionally done and doesn't seem to be available without the kit. Teaches the basics like how to hold it, tuning, strumming, etc. The Chord Dictionary is pretty nice -- shows various chords and finger positions for them. The Chord Studio is pretty cool -- you play chords you've learned with a backup band, which makes practicing fun. The only negative thing I'll say is that the initial intro had me worried about the quality of the rest of the DVD, but it turned out to be great (the instructor seems much more comfortable showing you things than he does just standing there and speaking at the beginning).



Digital Tuner: The one included in the kit is the Qwik Tune Electronic Guitar and Bass Tuner QWIQT11. Based on reviews, you're probably going to want a Korg, as another reviewer said. You can the higher-rated Korg GA-30 Ultra Compact Guitar and Bass Tuner currently for less than $11, or pay a few dollars more for a large-display model like the Korg GA-40 Large Display Guitar and Bass Tuner or Korg TM-40 Large Display Digital Tuner and Metronome (which both had "add to cart" pricing as of this review).



Extra Strings: You'll need them, eventually. Worth a few bucks, anyway.



Picks: You can buy these for next to nothing, but it's nice to have a few to start with.



Guitar Strap: It's not pictured in the non-kit F325, so not sure if it's a true extra. At any rate, I'm not convinced this would last more than a few months before starting to look ratty. It's a strap though and functions as one.



Gig Bag: Like someone said, it's not worth much, but for this price, I wouldn't expect much either. It might keep your guitar from getting scratched -- or might not (since it's not padded or lined, I wouldn't be surprised if putting it in and out of the bag won't do more harm than good over time.). It's not going to protect the guitar if you intend to travel about with it and it's not useful for carrying anything but the guitar. Check out the World Tour WG20D Deluxe 20mm Acoustic Guitar Gig Bag or Musicians Gear Deluxe Dreadnought Case, Black for a couple of high-rated, economic options.



Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase, even though I've added a hard case, strap and tuner to my wish list for Christmas.

 "Great sound - Slightly poor worksmanship, Bad Case" 2009-04-10
By Pash (NJ)
I got this guitar to replace my Mitchell guitar based on reviews.

The price was good.

Also, it is the Yamaha brand name.

The sound, I was told by my teacher, was very good and he said it was a good buy.

The tuner is OK....better to buy a Korg tuner from Amazon.

Haven't tried the DVD yet.



I have only two complaints:

1) The bag, as pointed out by another review, is very flimsy. It has no straps, no padding. It just has a carry handle. You would want to buy another gig bag



2) The worksmanship is lacking at certain points....e.g. where the neck extends on to the body of the guitar, you see glue that was squeezed out from under. I am a stickler for aesthetics. Some people are not bothered with such stuff.



OVERALL A VERY GOOD GUITAR



PS - You might want to check out the GigMaker Deluxe...similar guitar but has a solid spruce top and is only $10-$20 extra. I did not know about it otherwise would have bought that.

However, as I came to know later, solid wood tops sound good but need to be kept in controlled humidity whereas the laminate tops don't care about humidity. If you want to control humidity, you can buy a little humidifier (no electricity needed) that drops into the sound hole of the guitar.
