Great quality guitar at a great price ! Sounds great. Stays in tune. BEAUTIFUL COLOR ! You have to see it to truly appreciate the color. This is a medium thickness guitar, which is nice if the wider bodied guitars make your strumming arm sore from hitting the sharp edge of the body. Great guitar for beginners or pro's. ... show more

    • Quite good for the price
Color: Oriental Blue Burst
OK, well I'm a bass player who wanted a little acoustic guitar to mess around with. It needed to be $300 or less. This one came up with great reviews and so I just bought one sight unseen It's really hard to believe that you can get a guitar of this quality and tone for this price. I have to give it 5 stars with an important caveat. What I like: Well built and solid. I particularly like the plastic edging around the body this keeps it from getting dents. Narrow body. I didn't want some big ole clunker for when I'm plunking around while watching movies. Really great sound, both as an acoustic and when plugged in. It's bright and full - very good steel string sound. The electric features are also very good. There are low, mid, and high tone controls for when plugged in. Also a volume control. The built in tuner is fabulous. Note that it works on AA batteries that are built into small pop out compartment that's built into the body. The tuner allows you the center the intonation very closely and easily. It's easy to always be in perfect tune. i'm not sure if the batteries are required to play amplified e. g. whether its active electric. The finish is cool - a greenish sort of blue sunburst. I also like the inlay around the sound hole. Seem like high quality machine heads. We'll see how they hold - not 100% sure yet, but i'll assume the best Problem: Right out of the box the action was way too high.. To remedy this I changed the strings to a "light" set (.11 high E). This helped but not enough. So, I tried adjusting the truss rod. This also helped but the action was still to high for me. So, I very carefully removed the strings, removed and shaved the plastic bridge piece on the bottom - about 1 sixteenth of an inch. Then I worked to get the truss rod in a good position with the new lower string setting. I was also prepared to shave the nut which is also easily removable. As it turned out didn't have to take this step. Shaving the bridge and adjusting the truss was enough to bring it into a really really playable level of action - strings over frets. So, that was a lot to do and i had to be very careful doing it, but it's paid off. It now has really great action like a very good electric guitar that's been set up right. If you'r action is too high you might want to consider having an expert do this. if you do it yourself note that you have to be very very careful. Remember that you can always sand off more off the little plastic bridge piece but YOU CAN'T PUT IT BACK ON. So you might have to keep putting the strings back on and then taking them off until you've got it right. At this point i am very happy with this guitar. My only other comment is that, for me anyway, the neck is very narrow. I'm used to bass necks which are much wider or the strings are typically set further apart., I do have to get may fingers bunched up in a pretty tight configuration as for instance when playing a low A major chord. but that's probably just me. But don't expect a wide neck as on a typical nylon string classical guitar. This is more like a telecaster neck or maybe even a little more narrow than that. Again, for the money, its a really great choice and I highly recommend it with the noted caveat. ... show more

I got this guitar around a week ago and so far I love it. I been playing for around 30 years and for the last four or five years I been playing daily. When it showed up I checked it out and it was pretty much perfect. I got the blue one and its beautiful. Couldnt find any flaws in the finish and everything checked out. Straight neck, action is where I like it for an acoustic and the guitar plays very well. It light with no neck dive and easy to play. The sound of the guitar is very nice. I played some songs and goofed around with it for a while and kinda lost time. Well over an hour that first day and it was very enjoyable playing that guitar. I have around half a dozen acoustic guitars in my collection and one of them is a thinline like this one that I spent a lot of time playing. I find them more comfortable to play than the full size guitars. Ok, the one con I found with this guitar is they could of dressed the fret ends a lot better. There is just the whisper of fret rash. Its easy to take care of yet on a guitar of this caliber, you shouldnt have to. Yet it still deserves 5 stars for after playing it for a week I didnt discover the fret rash until today. I been running my left hand all over that fret board and never felt it until I ran my fingers down the fret ends today. Then I could feel just a hint of fret rash. Five seconds with a 600 grit sanding sponge and the fret rash is gone yet as I said, a guitar of this caliber/price point should need it out the box. Yet I am very happy with the guitar and would recommend it to anyone. Playing the guitar it is very easy to lose track of time, it is that enjoyable to play. ... show more

Absolutely gorgeous guitar!!! I wasn't expecting it to be so eye-catching. My intention for this guitar was to have something to play on my breaks at work, that I could simply leave in my office and not worry about having a more expensive guitar just sitting out. I can honestly say that just because it's cheaper does not mean it has less quality. This guitar has great tone, easy to play, the action is perfect, no buzz..... I don't think I can stop singing praises for this guitar. ... show more

    • This is great for the price an the thinnest if you play with a strap and switch between electrics.
Color: Vintage White
Luckily this one came out of adjustment and couldn't be made better so returned, but don't let that scare you, these yamahas are great. I ended up spending double this on the next level up of Yamaha and it is a HUGE difference in sound quality un amped but that's not what this guitar is for! For what it is it's awesome. Thinnest body is super comfy to play with a strap, my new concert size is a pain when switcging from my strat or PRS. And if you amp this up you can do whatever you want with the sound. A bit of reverb and it sound's like an orchestra. Un-amped...meh, but still fun and completely servicable sound! Action is great, quality product, if I could have both I would, but the 800 dollar Yamaha I got blows 1000 dollar martins away. I played them a bunch so I know. Been playing since all the greats were still doing heroin in the 70's, trust me :) ... show more

    • Love this guitar
Color: Oriental Blue Burst
I got this beauty for Christmas last year and I just love it. It looks gorgeous and it sounds lovely. I am not a professional guitarist, I play for fun as a hobby, so take that as you will, but playing this guitar is such a pleasure. The built-in tuner is super handy since I am not quite adept enough yet to consistently tune by ear. Also it is easier to play than the Dreadnought Ibanez Acoustic that was my first guitar, so I think it's pretty good for a beginner. ... show more
