Yamaha EZAG Easy Guitar

Sent from Japan. Arrived two weeks before the delivery end slot.Not only does it work well but it really is easier on the fingers than a stringed guitar.20 different sounds available. Some are fine.I have yet to try the midi aspects but from all accounts that should be fine.A few minor scuff marks. Other than that it is in pristine condition.It would be better if there was a way of turning off the fret LEDs. They are useful but there are occasions where they could be distracting.

It's never going to be a guitar, but that is not why I bought it. I am programming strumming patterns into a sequencer for arranging purposes, and it does a very good job of sending the MIDI data out to the PC based sequencer.If you want to learn to play a guitar, you need to buy a guitar with real strings and real frets.

I thought that this would be an easy way to learn to play guitar, but the buttons on the neck can be tricky to master. Maybe I have podgy fingers.The sound is Ok though and the various settings are easy enough to work out. But it's just a toy really.Note that it doesn't come with the usb-midi connector so you'll have to buy one of these as well (i.e. Yamaha UX16) if you want to download new sounds and songs from the internet.

This isn't a bad guitar... but then it isn't a guitar is it? I would highly recommend Optek's Fretlight over this since it's an actual guitar with LED lights cleverly hidden under the fretboard.This has one major advantage - no external computer/laptop needed, but then comparing this to a Fretlight there's no way this could compete, nor can any 'learning experience' in my opinion and I teach guitar and I've tried a LOT of 'innovative' products.
