This is a sweet guitar. I bought it just to have something to practice on at home but I would not be afraid to take it out for gigs. Yamaha has never let me down guitar wise!

Well put together for the materials used. I'd expected inlaid design around the sounding hole, not a glued on, printed picture of an inlaid design. The rosewood fretboard is nice wood, just not as detailed a finish as I'd expected. The sound of the instrument was just acceptable, nothing more. For the same cost, a few years ago I remember a much fuller, more brilliant sound from a Yamaha classical guitar.

I returned the guitar in its original boxes and packing materials, for a full refund.

I am always very satisfied with Amazons customer service!

Great guitar. Love it so much. Had a hole in the box from seemingly blunt force trauma but luckily no guitar damage! Something largely hand built like this you would expect some reasonable variances and you hope to get that perfect one...or at least not a defective one! Just a couple little flaws on mine but not bad enough to return and overall I really appreciate this work of art. Nice wood, design and craftsmanship. I wish I could thank the builder personally.

This is my first classical guitar. I've owned a 6 and a 12 string acoustic guitar for many years but haven't played"‹ much the last few years. Hit a plateau and got bored. Then every time I'd pick it up again it was short lived since my fingers weren't used to the steel string abuse! I figured this would be easier on my fingers to get back into it. Also I've been really enjoying listening to finger picking style acoustic music lately. Some incredible stuff out there in this genre.

This guitar has caused me to love playing again. It has opened up my creativity and had really given me some calm and peaceful joy. I'm learning more, having more fun and improving faster thanks to this beauty. And it is a beauty. Looks good, smells good and sound good. I love that it is natural with no thick urethane type clear coat. My Ibanez 6 string acoustic has a thick clear coat on top of the wood and while it is shiny and gives more durability I hate the skin sticking feel of it! I actually like the wood with minimal treatment like this Yamaha instead of that sticky clear coat. As you can tell I'm very impressed with this guitar and glad I followed my impulse to buy it. Thanks Yamaha.

This is my first classical guitar, and my playing ability is novice at best, but I am in love with this guitar. I purchased this as a "Warehouse deal" from Amazon, so I was a bit apprehensive as to its condition, On inspection, it was in great condition but the strings had obvious corrosion spots, and one break within hours of the first tuning. I replaced them with a set of D'Arrio strings, but in my ignorance, wound too much onto the pegs. I was retuning for three days until the new strings stretched enpigh to set. The sound since is amazing.

this is one of the finest sounding guitars. the action is extremely good. I am very happy with this purchase
