Yamaha GigMaker Deluxe Acoustic Guitar Pack Natural

Comments about Yamaha GigMaker Deluxe Acoustic Guitar Pack:

Granted I'm a beginner and haven't actually played another guitar, this guitar is awesome. I wasn't sure if I would stick with playing when i first bought this, so i figured 180 was a good amount to spare. A couple friends say the guitar strings are a bit rough, but they're decently easy to play with to me and the CD that it came with taught me how to finally tune a guitar. The bag isn't great and neither is the strap because I don't know how to put it on since there aren't directions, but the tuner and CD are top notch. Sounds great and really fills a room.

Since this Gigmaker is a relatively low-cost guitar set, it is perfectly suited for beginner guitarists who are unsure about whether they will continue learning to play. The guitar is mediocre at best, but the point of this gigmaker is to introduce one to the world of guitar. If you decide not to play, you're only out about $180. If you decide to continue, you have a whole bunch of much needed accessories (strap, tuner, picks, gig-bag), and you can upgrade your guitar without regretting paying too much for an instrument. This set is wonderful for those who are interested in Guitar, but unsure about whether they will continue to play.

I tried to learn to play with a 30-year old hand me down guitar. It was so hard to play that I almost stopped trying. I decided to try out this Yamaha Gigmaker Deluxe and was immediately able to play the cord that stumped me. It became a no brainer to buy. I have received compliments on the sound from several people. I like the tuner and the strings aren't bad for the beginner to learn on. But the crown jewel in this kit is the guitar. Overall this might be the acoustic I stick with for a very long time because of its sound and ease of play.

I bought mine about 4 months ago, and enjoy it tremendously. I'm pretty sure you can improve the sound with new strings (I'm about due) and other hardware, but it's a solid guitar nonetheless. The gig bag is somewhat flimsy, I don't really think it protects the guitar against anything except light dings and scratches, but I guess its something. Tuner does its supposed to do. 3 picks included, its a nice rounded out package, nice for the beginner. Mine came with a strap which is kind of cheap but does the job. I had to buy another strap for the head so I could loop it to the main strap, since this guitar doesn't have the 2nd nut to attach a strap to. Good for beginners. Very nice sound.

I compared the Yamaha FD01S, the guitar in the gigmaker deluxe package, with the acclaimed FG-700S. All I can tell is, Yamaha cut corners on bridge pins, pick guard, and headstock. The rest of the guitar is identical. Maybe the FD01S has a lower grade solid spruce top, but even that is a cosmetic difference and does not impact sound. I bought the FD01S outside of the gigmaker deluxe kit: I have all the accessories already. My recommendation is trash the accessories and keep the guitar. Upgrade accessories and strings on the guitar, and for $250-$300 you'll have a nice solid top guitar with a nice strap and strap button, a quality clip on tuner, and a nice hard shell case (go generic on the case and save some money there). For the price, this is a fine guitar. You'll want to change the bridge pins, but even the saddle is great for Yamaha: compensated saddle-nice touch (same as on FG720s). Sound is good: great treble, good bass for nato laminate. Fingerboard is fine-frets nicely on open F chord, strings easy on the fingers, no fret buzz.

I originally wanted to buy the Yamaha standard gig maker but when I got to the Guitar Center store they didn't have any left in stock, so I bought the deluxe pack instead. I am very satisfyied with the guitar and all the extras that it comes with. The guitar sounds great and the strings are good too. I will buy a new bag since the one it comes has no space to put things in.

I picked the Yamaha over the other starter guitars based on the price and it looks great. I would recommend that you get new strings put on right away . I have found it easy to learn on and sounds great. The accessories are fine to get you started but a new tuner and bag are necessary. A new strap will help too.

I bought this guitar for my son a year ago and have been so pleased with the performance and sound quality. When I was shopping I compared the difference in the laminate top Yamaha versus the solid top Yamaha and there was no comparison. This solid top Deluxe Yamaha is worth the extra $$ and the sound quality is the most beautiful acoustic I've ever heard! You won't be disappointed! As a matter of fact, I love it so much that I'm considering buying one for my youngest child.

This guitar is great; however, I think the accesories are unnecessary.The picks are junk, the DVD is not needed if you are getting lessons, the strap in my box was meant for an electric, and the "gig-bag" is basicly a dust cover. The tuner is great and accurate, but you can get the same thing on your phone for free. The one accessory that you really need (a stand) doesn't come with this. I would suggest buy a nicer guitar that doesn't come with accessories and spend the same amount.

This was a perfect choice for our 12 year old daughter just starting out! I believe she will be good for a few years with this guitar. Her instructor said it was a great pick as well.

I picked this up about a year ago as my first guitar, and instantly loved it. Its great for begginers and has a real nice sound to it. I'm self taught and the dvd that came with it was actually really helpful on getting started. My only recomendations are that you should pick up some nicer strings. The ones that came with it have a sort of twangy sound to them. Also, getting a hard case would be a good idea. The case that comes with it is really only good for keeping the dust off. Other than that, this is a really nice set for the money.

I received this guitar package as a gift this past Christmas, and I couldn't be happier. The guitar itself has a beautiful sound, and it looks amazing too! The picture doesn't cut it, this guitar is unbelieveable. The tuner works wonderfully and the strap is okay too. Although, the case is quite thin, so you'll have to think about getting a different one (but if you don't plan on taking it everywhere and the only place it'll be while in the case is sitting up against the wall, it's perfectly fine). The picks are decent, but that's just me and I prefer Medium picks. The only major thing I disliked about this package was the DVD, it doesn't really "teach" you how to play. When I read the description, I thought it meant it would teach me as in notes, and cords, etc. But all it really teaches you is the different parts of the guitar and just generally, what notes and cords, etc. are. So, don't think of it that way really. But you can always buy a book to teach you. Over all, this is a pretty good guitar package for a beginner, but the guitar is good for anyone!

I bought this kit two years ago as a first guitar, im happy i did. it sounds great, it stays in tune and stays in tune for about a week! ive never had any problems with it besides some fret buzzing, but i can live with that. it is very comftorable to play and just makes my day to come home from school and get to play it. this guitar kit is a steal and everything it comes with it works great. the tuner is ok and ive only had to change the batteries in it once in the two years ive had it. this is a great kit, buy it its worth it.

The quality of the guitar is quite good. The cons about this guitar package is that the bag for the guitar does not have a strap, the guitar itself does not even have the second knob for a strap... The tuner is decent, but definitely not the better one. I tried my friend's Fender value package and it has none of these issues. I believe the quality of the guitar is not as good though. I am not sure but the strings for the Fender package are better.

Love it, just don't know how to place the strap.

Sounds great

I am a beginner and know nothing about the guitar or how to play it. With that known the tuner was very easy to learn and use. The biggest con of the package would be the included DVD. It is very outdated. I've been learning more about my guitar and how to play from YouTube co tributers
