Review: Great Choice - 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.
Review: Very happy - I'm extremely happy with this guitar. For the price, material and build quality is very good and it has a very nice and full sound. It's also easy to play. I'm getting older now and so my fingers and hands don't "work" like they used to. I have two mid-level steel string guitars which are becoming increasingly difficult to play. Not only is this guitar easier to play but also, I'm starting a new journey into classical guitar. Love it! Would recommend to anyone regardless of music style/type they hope to play.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it better to get the acoustic electric version?**
A: For a budget guitar you would be fine with this one. Yes it is better to play first if possible.  Most serious classical guitarists dont play acoustic electrics. There are things you can do to help this guitar out like replacing the stock saddle to one that is a little taller (made of bone)  and replacing the stock strings. This will help with both the volume and tone and is a very cheap modification. Yamaha generally makes good production guitars and has good quality control. Unless you are buying a 3000 dollar guitar i think you will be fine buying online from a well known brand. If you plan on learning classical get the regular non acoustic version. Classical guitar is all about making the guitar produce the tone you want which is not accomplished in any way with electronics. If you dont like it you can always return it. Ive owned both high and low end instruments and  have been very happy with mine.

**Q: Viene con estuche para guardarla?**
A: No, los estuches los compras por separado. Viene muy bien protegida en su caja de carton

**Q: Is this a full-size or half-size guitar?**
A: Is this a full size guitar

**Q: Where are these guitars manufactured? This information is critical and is missing from the product information as far as I can see.**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality reasonably priced!
*by N***R on June 24, 2025*

This is my favorite classical guitar. I have owned and plaid it for four years and enjoyed it every time I have picked it up. It played good as received but I like a very low action and enjoy tinkering so I checked it quite thoroughly and found the neck and frets perfect. I lowered the nut slots slightly and lowered the saddle a bit to my preference. I like the lowest strings that do not buzz at all. Tonality is perfect. I carry it to practice and gigs bare so it has picked up a few little dings, but still looks nice with it's not glossy finish. I have played guitars that cost four times what I paid for it that played or sounded no better. Beginners guitar? Nope.
