Which Yamaha electric guitar is better for a beginner?

One of my most frequently asked questions from beginner players is whether to choose electric or acoustic. This is MY VIEW - others may disagree and they are welcome to their opinion. Mine is subject to change without notice!

Electric guitar is easier to play. The strings are usually closer to the neck, thinner and therefore easier to press down. Barre chords on acoustic guitar can be very demanding and requires a lot of finger strength. Cheaper acoustic guitars can be very hard to play up the neck.

Is the Yamaha silent guitar an electric guitar and will it sound...?

This is a well-known product that needs no further descriptions. A superbly well designed frame type silent guitar, a true work of art for the third millennium and already a classic.

Fantastically made as you would expect and reliable, I have never had a problem. It is not made to be thrashed but can be looked after very easily and the dismantling for the gig bag is excellent, and a great idea. The looks cool as well. Will last as long as I play the guitar.

Is Yamaha electric guitar brand good?

Pros: The nicest feature of this guitar is the direct-out switch to send the signal of the bridge humbucker straight into the amp, passing by the volume and tone settings. This gives a very nice bright tone. But: I think every guitar should sound that good without a direct-out switch. A guitar that sounds good, also when you use your volume and tone controls! And I like the 5-way switch, which gives you the options of coil splitting the humbuckers. Without that option you wouldn't get to many different sounds out of this guitar.

Cons: I already owned a Yamaha RGX121, which I like a lot, especially because of the playability of the neck. So I thought I'd buy almost the same guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo. It has the same neck radius and rosewood fingerboard. But, although the Yamaha catalog suggests these guitars are almost the same, they are NOT! The RGX420s has a wider neck and jumbo frets. Making it close to my Ibanez RG2570, which is not what I was looking for. I didn't want a cheap copy of my expensive Prestige line Ibanez; I wanted a slim and fast Yamaha neck! Besides this I think the tone of the pickups miss distinction and personality, but I must admit they are very powerful and ideal for shredders and metal heads. It's even hard to get a clean tone from this guitar. The tremolo takes some work on it, make sure you tighten the arm well or it's useless. You can adjust swinging movement with the nut, which you can reach from the back of the body. But all in all, this tremolo doesn't guarantee the guitar stays in tune.

Quality: Construction's fine. Absolutely no comment there. Quality of body and neck are good. Hardware is good enough for this price range.  The Yamaha electric guitar is one of our favorites to play. Order a Yamaha electric guitar as a gift for your musician friends.
