Amazing!

Amazing tone quality, I found this guitar used and with broken pickups, however with a little work it has become a staple in the sound of my band.

Nice guitar

I am lucky to be able to talk about the Yamaha EG112 "c", I mean the Japanese version of this guitar model, and the truth is this: it is an excellent "cheap alternative" to get a very "decent" guitar. I mean a guitar with a good sound and a comfortable structure. Obviously, it doesn't include anything glamorous, because we're talking about a guitar that was planned to be included in a Starter Pack. I am not forgetting that. However, it holds up quite well against any other brand. (I try between Cort, LTD, Epiphone, Squier, SX, Gypsi Rose, Washburn and Peavey ... Of course, those guitars in low end models, because I believe they are more or less fighting in the same comercial war.) So it seems cheap is not always crap. But the why I still keep this Yamaha 1990 Japanese EG112c is simply because, as I say, I find it quite comfortable with a very good feel/sound. So I can say that this Yamaha EG112c is a nice guitar with a more than acceptable performance. A guitar that never let me down, and also one that I will never take out of my gear.

From Gear Setup

Great beginners axe

So I got this as a christmas present around 2007, as my first electric guitar, and 12 years later it was the backbone of my music pasion and I still conserve it and play it, of course some upgrades had to be done cause is not a high end instrument so a lot of things damage or stop working around the years. I installed new electronics, a Fender Vintage 5 way pickup selector (one of the best purchases I've done) an SD Invader pickup for the bridge, a tortoise pickguard, a maple fingerboard neck and new tuners, but first out of the box is really playable and great as a first guitar

my first elec guit

My first electric guitar. Incredible neck, probably still the best I've ever played. Journey to the Center of the fucking Earth-low action. Hot pickups. It's very overlooked because it was (is? Now it's called PAC112J) part of a beginner start-pack, but it's a beast of a guitar. Light years ahead of Squiers, definitely at the time (mine is from Feb 2000), but I would argue also today. Pair it with a good amp and this can be the only guitar you'll ever need. I remember playing it thru a vintage Marshall half stack at the rehearsals space with my old band, it was hysterical.

PIayed the shit out of it. I retired it for a while but I recently did some maintenance/cleaning and it's still perfect. My main guitar for studying/practice/rehearsing at home or for little jams. Priceless for sentimental reasons, but it's still in the top 3 of my collection.

Solid work horse

The Yamaha EG112C was my first guitar that I got for Christmas and to be honest, I wasn't very psyched for it since I wanted an Epiphone Les Paul, but at least I had a guitar so I took care of it. This guitar has been through everything from the average ding on the headstock and body, to huge paint chips from falling on the ground and my temper tantrums throwing it into my drums and cymbals. It has survived it all perfectly, still playable and not needing a setup yet. In fact, I only broke the jackplate a couple of days ago after 3 years of extremely heavy abuse. This guitar might not be the best sounding guitar or the best looking, but it's definitely solid, it'll last forever and it's worth the money. Highly recommended.

similar to pacifica.

perhaps pre-pacifica model. playability is closer to 112 than 012, which is better.

My first electric guitar

I got it February 2016. I was really happy when i saw my Yamaha and now it is the best guitar for me at this time.
