Big, bold sound
I love this guitar. Compared to my others it sounds like a freight train, and the volume boost is a plausible help when you need a little extra, i.e. for a solo. Also looks killer.
Outstanding
I use these almost exclusively, more so now than my old favorite Tortex picks. They feel great, don't seem to slip, and seem very durable.
Best beginner electric axe out there
This was my first guitar and I still play it frequently, despite having a whole squad of others by now. The neck feels great and is pretty slim, so it's suitable for smaller hands and fingers. The pickups sound great as well, and it also may be my lightest electric guitar. Overall a great axe for beginners that will help them learn the basics but last them for a long time.
High quality and versatile, at least in terms of the piano sounds
I've had the P155 since early 2014, upgrading from a P70, and it's served me well since. It includes two primary piano samples, the first of which sounds amazing and is a full concert grand, while the second is a bit brighter and is good for popular music. You can choose between brilliance settings of bright, normal, and mellow for both. Also available are chorus, phaser, tremolo, and rotary settings, which you can increase or decrease the effects of. That said, the rest of the sound samples, i.e. the organs, electric pianos, strings, etc., are pretty forgettable, and are not the reason to get this thing. Newer models of Yamaha digitals have been released by now, but the P155 is still a high quality instrument that will hold up for a very long time.
"Gripping" to say the least. (Sorry)
I used to use Tortex picks almost exclusively, but ever since switching to these I can't see myself ever preferring anything else. They really do feel great in your hand; no slipping like I get with celluloid picks. They pretty much stay where you want them, and I haven't gotten any chipping with them yet despite using them for a couple years now. Bonus points because alligators are cool. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
