Getting a nice tone out of the guitar is pretty easy. The upper fret access is actually quite nice because of the all access neck heel (similar to Ibanez) that is really conducive to getting right up to the top of the fretboard. That being said it's still quite comfortable to me, and I'm not a big fan of thinner necks personally. The neck is quite thin, similar to a Wizard or something to me. The body is nicely contoured and is of a medium weight (thought not as light as some other guitars from Ibanez or Jackson that I've tried). It falls under that Ibanez vein, and is more or less the typical design for a 24 fretter superstrat. The design of this guitar is pretty ergonomic. Pretty simple, yet it works very well and feels/sounds great. It's got an H-S-S pickup setup and is wired to a volume, tone, and 5 way selector switch. The electronics are pretty standard for the guitar type. It features a sculpted agathis body, maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 24 frets, medium frets, standard sealed tuners and a 6 screw fulcrum point tremolo. Its features are pretty basic to keep the costs down but overall it still feels like a quality instrument. The Yamaha RGX 112 is one of the lower level superstrats in the RGX line of guitars. Same price as a Squier, but at least ten times the guitar, if you can find it. I'd say it's the best beginner guitar you can buy. With a pickup upgrade it was the best guitar I saw for awhile, I performed with it, still do sometimes. This guitar holds up really well, keeps a tune, no problems with the nut or bridge, low action, great quality guitar. The whammy bar broke off in my bridge and I had to get it professionally removed, so the whammy bar was a little cheap. The stock pickups aren't so great, but they still sound good. I had some problems with the tuners, I had to stick toothpicks in the screw holes so they wouldn't fall out.

I have a white one, so the black fretboard, pickups and volume and tone controls make a really nice contrast. People are always like, 'Man, your guitar is so sexy.'. The hard edges and smooth, subtle curves get lots of compliments. The action is so low and perfect, the strings have a nice, worked in feel that I haven't found anywhere else. They threw in a wicked sixty dollar gig bag too, really nice bag. I was training on a classical for four or five months, and I wanted to get more into rock, so my parents bought me this guitar for Christmas, along with an amp.
