Versatile!
I've never met a Yamaha i didn't like, and the SA503 TVL signature is my favorite. I believe Mr Troy Van Leeuwen (TVL) is some kind of 'Alternative Rock' musician and designed this guitar. MAPLE neck (...unusual for a 335 clone), 3 volumes, 1 master tone and any pickup configuration can be selected. You can extract, using the tone and volume knobs a million-and-one tones. These were inexpensive, made in Indonesia guitars but they have TONE!
Clean... With gain... And a quick run through the styles... Now discontinued, however if you find one of these on Ebay, Reverb or similar, then I suggest you grab it. You grab it with BOTH hands!

My Revstar 502T is pretty amazing. I love it. The factory P90s are terrific. Also, my Weddington was in unplayable condition when I got it. The neck near the headstock was jacked. I got it to be playable though it looks like heck, and got a new bridge and put in a 3 way Tele switch in place of the factory 5 way switch. All that said, the Dimarzio pickups in it are killer. And the sustain is all one could ask for. The way the back of the neck block is cut is super comfortable.
I'll buy another Yamaha before I spend a dime on a F- or G-.

I suspect you will. The Yamaha electrics are really nice guitars for a very reasonable price.

I presume the EG112 ("Electric Guitar"?) is an early model, before the Pacifica line, though it looks much the same. Anyone know? Luckily, I have long slender fingers and no arthritis problems, but obviously still soft fingertips and still can't avoid adjacent-string muting when playing chords. They say that will come with time, I hope so. Anyway, like most noobs nowadays, I enjoy all the expertise and friendliness on discussion groups, but I'm fully aware that learning the lingo and becoming a "youtube expert" will only take me so far. My favorite YT teachers are Justin and Jonathan Kehew, very patient and good explainers. Many of the others are surely also good, but presume a level of competence beyond the rank beginner stage. |

About the muted string thing..... Always be aware of it and do your best to keep it all clean BUT.... also, ignore it and use the guitar as a drum. Allow your guitar to become a percussive instrument. Bang out a rythymn, strum in good time and allow the muted string to become part of your dynamic style. And hope that it cleans up over time. If not, use the muted tone in whatever way you can. Or avoid it all together. And always play through your mistakes. Hope this helps. I often have a muted string when I play barre chords. It bugs me. I hate it. But, its not changing so I just deal with it. Or ignore it. Soft fatty fingers. I play clean when I flatpick single note melodies.
