Yamaha Electric Guitar (not authenticated)

This electric guitar features a solid black double-cutaway body with a matching black pickguard, a bolt-on wooden neck, and a fretted fingerboard with dot inlay markers. The headstock is black and prominently displays silver or white text reading 'YAMAHA' alongside text reading 'EG 112C2' near the tuning pegs, which feature six inline chrome-finished machine heads. The hardware includes a chrome tremolo bridge assembly, metal strap buttons, and plastic control knobs mounted on the body. A black instrument strap is attached to the body, and an audio cable with a standard 1/4-inch jack rests on the floor near the instrument. The guitar is positioned upright on a black metal folding stand against a light-colored wall with white window blinds. The physical condition appears generally clean and intact based on visual inspection, showing typical signs of light use but no major structural damage or missing components. The attribution in the name rests on the legible brand and model text printed directly on the headstock, though the item remains unauthenticated in person.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, the electric guitar bears text on the headstock consistent with a Yamaha EG 112C2 model, featuring a double-cutaway black body, bolt-on wooden neck, and standard hardware including a tremolo bridge. However, I can't verify from a photo alone whether the electronics, neck alignment, and internal components are fully functional or free from hidden wear. Based on general market behavior for entry-level electric guitars of this type, assuming the working hypothesis that the branding is accurate, comparable instruments typically trade in the $100 to $150 range in the used market due to their mass-produced nature and modest beginner positioning. The overall visual condition appears clean with only light signs of use, which supports the higher end of this range. Would need physical inspection to confirm playability, fret wear, and component integrity. Furthermore, this valuation is strictly contingent upon physical authentication; if the item were to turn out to be a replica, an unbranded copy, or otherwise unattributed, the market value would drop significantly, likely to $40-$75 as a generic practice instrument. To move beyond this working assumption toward confirmation, an in-person examination by a qualified luthier or guitar technician would be required to assess the hardware, wood quality, and electronic components firsthand.
