Yamaha EG 112 GPII HII Black — Complete Electric Guitar Starter Pack

The Yamaha EG 112 GPII HII Black is a complete electric guitar starter bundle built for players taking their first steps into amplified playing. At its core sits an ST-style guitar with a basswood body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard — a tonewood combination delivering a balanced, mid-focused voice suited to rock, blues, pop, and indie. This bundle is the right choice for beginners who want one purchase covering guitar, amplifier, and accessories needed to start.

What Sets This Pack Apart

Most beginner bundles cut corners on the guitar to keep the price down. This one does not — the EG112 ships with a dual-action truss rod, covered chrome tuners, and a vintage-style tremolo bridge. An HSS layout pairs a ceramic humbucker at the bridge with two ceramic single-coils through a 5-way switch for five tonal voicings.

Body and Neck — Tonewoods That Shape the Sound

The body and neck pairing defines how the guitar feels and responds to touch. Basswood keeps the instrument light and balanced, while the maple neck adds rigidity and brightens the attack.

• Body Material: Basswood — light weight, balanced mid-range response
• Neck Material: Maple — bolt-on with dual-action truss rod
• Fretboard Material: Rosewood — smooth feel, warm tonal character
• Neck Finish: Satin — reduces drag during fast position shifts

Hardware and Electronics — Pickups, Controls, Bridge

Hardware choices determine tuning stability, tonal flexibility, and overall feel. The HSS layout gives this model a wider tonal range than a typical three-single-coil ST design.

• Pickups Configuration: HSS — ceramic humbucker (bridge) plus two ceramic single-coils
• Bridge: Vintage-style tremolo with chrome hardware
• Controls: 1 x Volume, 1 x Tone with a 5-way pickup selector
• Tuning Machines: Covered chrome sealed self-lubricating design

Scale, Fretboard, and the Bundled Amplifier

Scale length affects string tension and fret spacing, while the bundled amplifier shapes how the guitar sounds in the room. A full-size 648 mm scale with a 41 mm nut matches most professional ST models.

• Scale Length: 648 mm — full-size ST feel with familiar string tension
• Nut Width: 41 mm — comfortable grip for chord work and lead lines
• Fingerboard Radius: 350 mm — flatter curve for easier bending
• Number of Frets: 22 — extended upper register access
• Bundled Amplifier: GA15, 15 W, 6.5" speaker, 3-band EQ, headphone output

Who This Pack Is Built For

This bundle is the right choice for first-time electric guitar buyers who want a single purchase covering every piece of gear needed to start playing. It suits self-taught beginners, parents buying for a child starting music lessons, and adults returning to the instrument after years away. The HSS layout also makes it flexible enough for players exploring harder rock styles. Those who already own a quality amplifier should consider the EG112 on its own.

Yamaha and the EG Series

Yamaha has long been known for making quality instruments at affordable prices, and the EG series serves as the entry point into the brand's solid-body electric guitar lineup. The EG112 continues that tradition with a body shape inspired by the classic ST design, manufactured in China. The GPII bundle pairs that guitar with the GA15 practice combo for home use.
