Now, they no longer have a starter pack with the eg112, only the 012 and an rgx model.
See if you can find a Yamaha Pacifica112, which is not the same as an eg112,it is better.( I dont think they put them in those starter pack things tho)I cannot sing the praises of this guitar high enough... I wish I had bought one as my first guitar...they are really amazing.
I have a friend who has a Pacifica112 that he plays over his Fender Mex strat...so that indicates how it holds its own
