Was this a good deal for a first guitar ?

Question

I bought my first guitar today courtesy of craigslist. I'm just starting to learn so I was on a budget.

For $130 I got:

- Yamaha F310 acoustic guitar (condition 9/10)

- padded guitar case with handle and backpack straps

- The Complete Guitar Player Songbook

- Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1 with CD

- Fender automatic tuner

- 2 sets of Martin Marquis folk guitar strings

- Super Sensitive Londoner Classic Guitar strings

- 9 Fender picks

Was it a good deal for $130? I thought it was but just making sure, I wanna know if I got a bargain.

Answer 1

yamaha its a good guitar i got a G-20A

..mine was 120 and just for the guitar so u got a nice deal there

Answer 2

you got tottaly ripped off, ( and its used?) you should of got one from a music store for  a lot cheaper and better, ( by the way yamaha is a bad brand)

Answer 3

You got an outstanding deal on that package.  New, the F310 carried a retail price of about 249 U.S. dollars.  The selling price of these new was from 169-179, and included extra's in the package as well.  (Not quite as many as in what you purchased.)    Disregard a previous answer that Yamaha Sucks.  First off, their acoustic guitars tend to have a very rich and full sound, and there easy to play.   Secondly, Yamaha is a very diversified company that makes very high end keyboards, guitars, mixers, sound modules, multi-effects units,etc..  You get the picture.  Their "budget minded" equipment is a very good product, as they have their high end reputation to uphold.   Good job... take care of it.. it should last for years.
