Very Good, But Small 3/4 Accoustic Guitar
Style: Standard
Size: Guitar
Color: Natural
Set: Guitar Only
I am basically an advanced beginner, having started out about a year and a half ago on the Yamaha 3/4 Size Classcal Guitar (with nylon strings.) Also taking lessons. I recently purchased this Yamaha FG 3/4 Size Accoustic Guitar. In my opinion, it has good intonation, has a more than decent rich sound to it. It is definitely not a "toy" guitar. After about five tunings at the beginning, it has held its tune well--only very few tweaks. The action is low without buzzing, which is good for tender finger tips, and just plain, overall fretting. I have to agree with some of the reviewers who believe this to be smaller than a 3/4 size guitar. This one is pretty small. I don't think it's 3/4 size--more of a half-size. I am only 5 feet tall, female, with small frame and fingers, and I find the distance between the strings to be a bit of a tight squeeze. Distance in frets is okay for my stature. I was worried that going to a steel string accoustic guitar would be painful on the tips of my fretting fingers since I have nerve damage in my fingers--one of the reasons I started off on the Yamaha 3/4 size classical with nylon strings (which is a great nylon string guitar for beginners), but I don't realize any difficulty or pain with this steel string guitar. I have calluses by now, but even so, for one just starting out on a steel string, I don't think it's any more painful than starting out on nylon strings. A setup by a luthier, I don't think it is at all necessary unless you are at least an intermediate, at which point you probably own a $500+ guitar that has a louder sound (I think this one has more than average projection, and aginn, intonation). Besides a bit of a problem with the string-to-string closeness, the only other thing I can think of is the fretboard, compared to the overall size of the guitar, and the body, is more than average heavy--not a real biggie, but I thought I'd mention it. Because of its small size, if you are taller than five feet, or have average or large hands, I can't give it five stars. If you know enough about guitars and think you can handle a guitar this size, I would give it five stars, especially for a small child. All in all, if you are looking for a beginner steel string accoustic guitar, especially for a child just starting out, I don't think you could go wrong with this guitar. You get a real guitar at a very good price, that's pretty vibrant, while keeping in mind that it is on a small scale. Here, I would give it five stars. If I had a child who wanted to start playing a steel string accoustic guitar, I would not hesitate to purchase this guitar. If you are taller than five feet, or have large fingers, I do feel this good guitar would be a bit of a tight squeeze, and also possibly not as comfortable to hold. If, on the other hand, you want to purchase a very nice quality guitar without shelling out big bucks, especially for a beginner, I would highly recommend this guitar.

We bought this for my then 13 year old daughter to start learning to play guitar. This guitar has served its purpose well. She uses it daily and it sounds fine. It is smaller, which is good for her to learn on.

So, pleased yet disappointed. Plays great. Perfect for tiny little me (5' 5". Been playing my Yamaha f335. Th8s is sooo much easier. Fits me perfectly. Here is the problem, what your site description and picture indicates is "natural color". IT IS NOT. IT IS BRIGHT ORANGE. Picture beside my 335 is included. For everyone whe thinks they are getting a natural finish, you are not! It is bright orange! So, this is an update. Strangely the D note, whether the open D or higher octive fretted, rings out about twice as loud as all other notes, a tinney in the bucket sound. Must be a resonance problem. RETURNING. (this is surprizing from Yamaha)

I bought this "used - like new" to save a few bucks, but I am sure it is brand new, not a single flaw. The only problem was that the shipping box was a little damaged, but the guitar was packed safely inside, the internal packing was like new. It plays well and really rings compared to my full size Yamaha classical. It is a little small for my fingers on some chords but I really enjoy playing it. It would be perfect for a children's beginner instrument. I tuned it a couple of times and then it holds tune well. The steel strings don't stretch compared to nylon strings. I was worried that the tuners would be too cheap but they work well. Decent sound for such a small instrument. I will keep it.

This guitar exceeded all my expectations, and then some. The workmanship is very good. Not one small defect after looking closely at this guitar. It even comes ready to play, with a nice low action. It is small and light, a perfect guitar for camping, etc. Why would you pay $400 for a travel guitar when you can pay a third of that and get a sturdy, good sounding instrument that is ready for the road. The included cloth case is terrible, but I fully expected that.

Won't hod tune on E-string.... can't play
Style: Standard
Size: Guitar
Color: Natural
Set: Guitar Only
Was so excited to give my grandson this for christmas. Figuring it to be a Yamaha guitar it would be as a fine tuned instrument. Unfortunately the E string will not tune. The pieve that adjust the tension of the Estring just slips won't hold tension or tune... VERY DISAPPOINTED in the craftmanship bc I have played Yamaha guitars all my life 60 yrs & am a big fan of Yamaha guitars.... needless to say this untunable guitar just sits there unplayed what a shame... I am going to contact seller & see if they will replace or repair this guitar. I will re- update after contacting seller. Other than the E-string not tuning this would be a good guitar worth the money but as of now it's just for looks. UPDATE... BUYER BEWARE SELLER DOES NOT BACK PRODUCT SOLD!!! I PAID OVER $150 FOR THIS GUITAR ONLINE..BIG MISTAKE THEY DO NOT CHECK THEIR GUITARS CRAFTSMANSHIP B4 THEY SHIP. THEY SHIPPED ME AN UNUSABLE PRODUCT & SAYS CONTACT YAMAHA NOT US ....MY PERSONAL OPINION I WILL NEVER USE this seller ever again & will not shop Amazon ever again ....they just take ppls money & run .... BUYER BEWARE....
