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.

The Yamaha guitar is an excellent starting guitar for children. Intonation, and action is good as well as sound. My only critique is shipping package. Better care in packaging should be provided by Yamaha with either a higher grade of cardboard and/or a double package. This would better assure the package arriving without dents and punctures in the box. Better for the instrument and better for gift giving, since this is not a full color pack. Yamaha is always so worried about their branding, rightfully so, and this should be done by the manufacturer.

I've owned half a dozen guitars, several American made. I wanted something small and inexpensive for playing around the house and not worrying about. Really impressed for the price. Plays pretty easily and sounds better than I ever would have expected. and the frets are really easy to play. I would strongly recommend this for beginners or kids.

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.

I've always wanted to play the guitar. A few years ago I got a super cheap one for free from a friend. It was way too hard for me to play and I gave up pretty quickly. Then I got a ukulele and I actually got somewhere on it. I don't particularly like the sound of a uke, but I love the size. I'm not THAT small, but I'm 5'3" and a dreadnaught swallows me whole (or at least it feels that way). I'm used to keeping my uke by my favorite chair, which has arms and isn't a great place to play, but that's where I usually do it. So I got this 3/4 size guitar to ease my way into the guitar world. I love it. It doesn't feel like I'm trying to play a sedan... my arm fights nicely around it, and it's just comfortable. Does it sound amazing? I mean, it's a cheap guitar, but the action is low enough without getting it set up that I can actually play it. Eventually I'll get a nicer one, probably a smaller version of a full size, but for now, this one is perfect. ETA: I just got this guitar setup at Guitar Center, because the B string was sharping when fretted. It’s all fixed now and I love it even more. I definitely recommend setups if you need to lower the action or fix any intonation issues, even if you just bought the guitar, just consider it part of the price.

Been playing guitar for over 50 years. I bought this for my youngest grandchild who wants to learn how to play. Yamaha has always made excellent guitars. The playability, fit, and finish is very good for this price point. I looked at two other major brand 3/4 scale guitars that were MUCH more expensive, but after test playing them the Yamaha won hands down. I went back to the music store, but it was already sold. That's why I bought one here. Whether your looking for a beginner guitar, or an inexpensive traveling guitar for sitting around the campfire, this is the one to get.
