Advantages: Good quality wood, strong strings, nice colours.

Disadvantages: Heavy and little things break over time.

I would firstly like to say that I did not buy this guitar, but instead my school gave it me as we recieve free music lessons. I have however had it for two years and I think it's great.

I have this guitar in black and as far as I know you can also get it in metallic red and electric blue (which is my personal favourite).

I love the fact that it has two single bridge pickups and one double set, I find it much better looking than the 3 single ones on most guitars that look similar to this.

If you don't get the miniture Yamaha amplifier with this guitar, I highly recommend that you go out and buy it. Although it is very, very small it still has all the sound of a big stage amp and whenever I play, I always get told to turn it down!

On the down side, it's the small things that let you down.
The guitar is very bulky and heavy, which puts strain on the weak strap and mine is now frequently detaching from the body.
On the plug for the amp lead, there is a small metal ring which came unscrewed one and was very hard to twist back on.

Summary: I highly recommend this for people who are looking for their first guitar.
