You're not going to find a nicer guitar at this price point, full stop. You may want to replace the strings (the included wound ones are very susceptible to wear) but that's a cheap and easy fix. There's even a nice little guide included that covers string replacements if you've never restrung a nylon instrument before. For people like me who are balling on a budget, Yamaha knocked it out of the park with this one. Excellent sound, no buzz (that other guy must have gotten a defective one), great action, and a lightweight but sturdy construction. This is the first budget instrument I've tried that doesn't feel like a compromise. You may have some issues with quality control (always a risk buying instruments online), but Amazon has a good return policy so worst comes to worst you can get a replacement. Some things to note: - This is a full size guitar, it'll probably be too big for younger kids. If you've got really young kids, try the Yamaha GL1. I don't own one, but I've played one and was similarly impressed. - There's only one fret marker on this thing, at the 7th fret. You can get a pack of these for under ten bucks on here, so probably do that if you're newer to guitar. - Don't put steel strings on this. They do this at guitar stores all the time with used classical guitars, and it damages the neck over time. They're designed for nylon and it sounds great with nylon anyway. - Skip the pick. It's bad on the strings and you're missing out on one of the best parts of classical guitar if you're not fingerpicking. That's about it. If you're on the fence, go for it. You'll be impressed.

I'm a relatively inexperienced guitar player, although I have owned guitars before - including a really nice Goya "jumbo style" steel-string acoustic folk guitar. This is my first classical guitar, but I have both seen (and heard) many of them played on the Internet. I'm still in the process of evaluating this nice classical guitar. But I did find out a couple of things that disturbed me... The action on this guitar was much too high for me, and I managed to get the saddle out and to sand it down - just enough to lower the action significantly. (It's still a bit on the high side, but I feel that the guitar is much more comfortably playable now.) Also, it appears that this guitar - (which I purchased solo and without the "guitar package") is actually a Yamaha model C-40 and not a C-40II. (Part of the way that I could tell this was by the bracing that is used on the top of the guitar.) It is just the conventional bracing, and not (as best as I could tell) the improved bracing that the C-40II advertises. The sound of it is quite nice though (IMO) - even with the "stock" strings that are used on it. (I bought new strings for it, but I'm not really in a hurry to install them.) It seems that the quality and the workmanship on this guitar is top notch - which is surprising to find in a guitar at this relatively low price point. This guitar has a very nice finish, and there were no defects that I could find (and I checked it out as carefully as I could). It plays nicely too - especially since I lowered the action of the guitar strings. I looked at a lot of guitars, but the Yamaha name (and all of the good customer reviews) was enough to sell me on this guitar. I would have liked to have had a truss rod on the guitar, but alas, this guitar just didn't come with one. Many classical guitars don't have truss rods (especially at this price point, but I have read that this is even the case with some of the more expensive classical guitars). The "bottom line" -- I would recommend this guitar to a friend.

II’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and have owned several high-end classical guitars, so I didn’t expect much from something this inexpensive. But it really surprised me — it sounds great, projects nicely, and stays in tune. The tone is far better than I imagined at this price. This is a great guitar for a beginner!

Having had a classical guitar education since my early adolescent years, I have a very fond appreciation for nylon string guitars. This option, at this price, is terrific value for experts and beginners alike. The build is so smooth and has a very nice finish, it feels sturdy without feeling heavy, and light enough to be carried around by teenagers and adults alike. It's also not prohibitively small nor large, allowing most hand sizes, like the small ones I have, to be able to hit all notes (even the dreaded F#) without difficulty. I also can't overstate how nice it sounds. It has a beautiful, airy feel to it that only the best nylon classical guitars can have, and the strings that come with the guitar are perfect to start playing it as soon as the guitar arrives and is tuned. I've been playing classical guitar for decades, and this was a great choice to jump back in after a hiatus of a couple of years. Whether you are looking to help a growing kid learn a new art from scratch, looking to start playing classical guitar yourself, or are an advanced maestro needing a spare nylon guitar somewhere, this choice is incredible value for the money. I love it!
