  • You get what you pay for. Very poorly setup out of the box.
Color: Natural Size: Concert
EDIT: After I have set this guitar up (which involved mostly lowering the nut height, lowering the action overall and polishing the fret surfaces and ends) this guitar won me over. It just became mine. I put Eric Clapton strings on it which are slightly warmer and less bright and this guitar sings! I’m adding not one but two stars making it a perfect five! Original review: I've read a lot about how this guitar is a great value and a surprisingly good instrument at this price so maybe my expectations were too high, but I'm somewhat disappointed. First of all, the guitar arrived poorly set up. The action was extremely high due to, both, a very high nut and very high saddle. While updating the saddle I realize the original one was too thin: it fell out of the slot right away when I removed the strings. This caused it to lean forward in the slot, which affects the sound. It also affects intonation as it shortens the scale just a few micrometers (intonation was pretty good out of the box though but not perfect). After the saddle upgrade the intonation is perfect. I don't understand how it is possible that Yamaha does not care to install a saddle of a correct thickness, it does not cost more to simply install a matching saddle. The nut had a poorly cut slots, there was a lot of strings binding. The fret ends are quite sharp and not properly finished. The middle of the frets are very poorly polished: if you try to bend a note you will feel grinding. Very sloppy! I have no idea what Yamaha is bragging about when they say that the fretboard has "rolled edges" - no such thing. When changing the strings I inserted a small webcam into the sound hole to inspect the interior of the guitar. The bridge plate has lots of splinting and rough edges around the string holes, it's as if a 4-year-old drilled those wholes with a dull drill bit from a toy set (sad thing is that maybe it was ?). Lots of glue squeeze everywhere, bracing not being of correct length - don't look inside if you want to love this guitar! After the upgrades and a basic common sense setup the guitar is very easy to play. Not the most inspiring guitar to play as it does not have what one would call a character, but very playable. The sound is quite decent actually but lacking in bass response for sure. Also, in my sample, the low E string sounds thudy, as if made of rubber. I tried several strings and now have a good quality bone nut and saddle - unfortunately it has more to do with the resonance of the guitar and/or the neck's ability to transfer vibrations. It just sounds thudy with no sustain on anything other that open string. It is not a very nuanced guitar, does not respond to dynamics in playing well. However, somehow, I still like it. It is a very honest guitar. Very sincere. Does not pretend to be anything else that it is - an entry level guitar. It is not flashy, pretentious, fake. I still think that at $200 it is a great buy. Great as an everyday instrument that will not make me too precious about it, instead I will just play it without too much reverence towards it. ... show more

  • Beautiful Guitar
Color: Natural Size: Dreadnought
This guitar is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It was delivered in a cardboard box, which was a bit worrisome, but it was well protected. This is a beautiful guitar. I am amazed at how deep and full it sounds. The action and intonation at the 12th fret is perfect right out of the box.

  • Reliable, Amazing Value, Yamaha.
Color: Natural Size: Dreadnought
No one beats Yamaha at this price bracket, it punches far above its price. This instrument as all of Yamaha's products is extremely durable and reliable. I would recommend this to any beginner or someone simply looking for a durable and well priced camp fire guitar.

  • Every new guitar regardless of price should be set up professionally.
Color: Natural Size: Concert
After doing extensive research I bought this guitar in early December of 2018 for a 14 year old grandson and beginner player for Christmas. He wanted one of my vintage guitars, a 1965 Harmony Sovereign H1205 that I bought when I was his age after working all summer and saving to buy for $125 but he'll have to wait till I'm composting. I originally planned to buy something for him in the $400-500 range but his mother thought that was too much in case he wasn't serious. My first impression when unpacking this Yamaha was the fit and finish was better to anything the local music stores had to offer up to my original price point. After giving the guitar a couple days to stabilize to the temperature of our home and monitoring its humidity level I tuned it and said I thought I'd keep it and get another for him, grandma reminded me I didn't need another guitar. The neck was adjusted perfectly and the action was so good I thought it had to have been set up professionally but coming from Amazon I thought there was no way and this was how it came from the factory. I took the guitar to the tech who had set up and worked on all my guitars for a thorough inspection and set it up. He had a bit of a frown when I told him what I had but he smiled when he opened the case and picked it up and confirmed the neck was dead on. When I told him I only paid $200 he thought I got a deal at a pawn shop. He had a bone nut sitting there that was a perfect match and with a couple strokes of a file he said the action was as good the Martin D-28 he had just finished setting up. He believes as I do that I got very lucky with this guitar because at this price they can go either way. He couldn't believe it was a $200 guitar but after he finished it was a $325 guitar. Plus a case, tuner, picks, capo, humidifiers, strap and God knows what else I spent the $500 I promised my daughter that I wouldn't. So unless you're buying a guitar from a high-end music shop where the set up is included in the price, don't forget that every new guitar regardless of price should be set up professionally. It won't turn a $200 guitar into a $3,000 guitar, but it could mean the difference for a beginner becoming a player rather than a quitter. ... show more
