Electric Guitars

Yamaha guitars lie in a class of their own with their perfect combination of traditional craftsmanship and leading edge technology. The Gigmaker series of Yamaha has the ultimate package that packs in everything that is required to play the Electric Guitar live. Here we will review the Yamaha Gigmaker ERG121C Electric Guitar Pro Pack.

Striking black and gold finish:

Yamaha Gigmaker ERG121C guitar comes in an electrifying black finish. There cannot be one person in the world who does not own a black gadget; with or without choice. With a contoured solid Basswood body, it has closed gold plated machine heads. The string and strap buttons are given a matching gold coloured finishing. We suspect if Yamaha has employed a fashion designer with the guitar blazing in its black and gold combo. Overall, the looks and the feel of the guitar are awesome.

The basic specs and controls:

On the part of specifications, the selection is very neat and has been chosen to meet the needs of all styles of guitarists. The Bridge is of Vintage Tremolo kind and the aesthetic half of Yamaha pops up here again by offering the guitar with a matching tremolo arm. It sports the standard maple neck and rosewood fingerboard and the frets are lapped. On the part of pickups, the Gigmaker ERG121C Black Electric Guitar has two humbucker pickups and a single coil pickup. What is the great deal of an electric guitar if you are not able to control it? And Yamaha has made no mistakes on its part by including a five way pickup selector switch along with master volume and tone controls. With the help of the multiple pick-up switching, the guitar can be tuned to suite any style.

A setting for you:

If you are one of those who play the eighty’s metal like us, you will be able to get an excellent sound with this amp. And the setting that can get the best out of this guitar is, bass about 2 – 3, the treble 5 – 6 and the volume at 3 – 4.

The package and its quality:

The Yamaha Gigmaker ERG121C Pro Guitar Package includes the electric guitar itself, a 15W amp with distortion (GA15), a set of spare strings, Plectrums, strap, electronic tuner YT100, a carry bag and an Instant Guitar tutor DVD. As you can see the list contains possibly everything that is required for a beginner to start playing the instrument. Even if you do not know how to play the kit, the instant guitar tutor DVD will give you the basic idea. The guitar amplifier provided has drive and clean channels with three band equalizers including treble, middle and bass, the tuner YT100 sports bright indicator LEDs and the gig bag offered cannot get more stylish. Though the amp is small, it works well and is lots of fun when switched on to the drive mode. We are not happy with the working of the tuner though, we would recommend you to get one separately.

Warranty:

Yamaha offers its Gigmaker ERG121C Electric Guitar one year limited warranty.

Verdict:

The Yamaha Gigmaker ERG121C Electric Guitar Pro Pack is never short when it comes to the style factor. This well specified guitar is suitable for any style of guitarist and beginners will have nothing to worry about after getting hold of one of these. Yamaha is a very trusted brand when it comes to musical instruments and hence durability and reliability will never be an issue. We would strongly recommend this guitar for the beginners.
