A Good Step Up.
Nice sound, a good step up for a budding guitarist. As recommended by a Guitar Tutor.

Really nice quality guitar for the money - sounds good
I'm a guitar player, and already have two Yamaha guitars. This was bought for my 9 year old daughter. Really nice quality guitar for the money - sounds good, intonation is good and the wood on the rear is really very good looking - looks more expensive than it was! I just hope she does some practice!!

Fantastic guitar for a beginner
We bought this for our 9 year old granddaughter as she had been hiring the exact same one from her school. She is really happy with it and it is the perfect size for her

Cheap & cheerful
On the plus side, this is a relatively inexpensive guitar and a good start for young beginners aged between 9 and 12. It seems reasonably well constructed and is aesthetically pleasing. No obvious Yamaha branding on the exterior, although there is a branded sticker below the soundhole. The sound overall is pleasant and the action is such as to not make it too difficult for a young player with small hands. On the negative side there are no position markers, bar one on the top side above the 7th fret but none at all on the fretboard itself. This might prove a hindrance to learning as time goes on, but perhaps not a major deal breaker. Another slight letdown is the fact there is no strap button on the base, or heel, of the guitar. While the absence of a strap button is common for many classical guitars it would have been prudent to provide one, at least on the base, even if one is generally seated when playing such an instrument. On the whole a reasonably priced instrument with a pleasant sound. But as some reviewers point out, you get what you pay for.

Very good product in its category and level
Yamaha is a brand that manufactures good quality things, and this guitar is one of them, I am a professional guitarist, although this guitar is not the top of the range, instead it is a small guitar for beginners, it has a good sound, it is comfortable, keeps the pitch well, the notes along the fretboard stay in tune, including the high notes. In my case unfortunately the guitar arrived dented, apparently the carrier was not careful enough, and the original guitar box does not protect well, for this incident the seller offered me the option of a good discount or the possibility of returning the item.

Lange hatte ich gezögert und hin und her überlegt, ob ich mir als erwachsener Anfänger diese Gitarre in der kleineren Größe 3/4 kaufen soll, oder durch die kleinere Größe nicht zu sehr auf Klang verzichte. Aber nun bin ich begeistert. Die Verarbeitung ist hervorragend, die Lackierung und Farbe sensationell schön, aber was mich begeistert, ist der wunderschöne Klang, den ich bei dem Preis wahrlich nicht erwartet hatte. Sie lässt sich gut stimmen, obwohl ich die Gitarre in den ersten Tagen erst noch etwas akklimatisieren lasse. Das bin ich auch so von der Geige gewohnt, dass Temperatur- und Luftfeuchtigkeitsunterschiede die Stimmung beeinflussen und man da zunächst einmal mehrfach nachstimmen muss. Das ist also alles ganz im normalen Bereich. Mit den Wirbeln lassen sich die Saiten sehr angenehm leicht stimmen und halten die Stimmung auch gut. Jetzt müssen also nur noch meine Fähigkeiten besser werden, damit ich diesem wunderbaren Instrument auch gerecht werde. P.S.: Ich bin als Erwachsene nur ca. 162 cm groß und ich bin wirklich froh, dass ich mich von den geteilten Rückmeldungen bei den Fragen nicht zu einer größeren 7/8 oder 4/4-Gitarre habe verleiten lassen. Ich hätte gar keine Chance, ein größeres Instrument richtig zu erlernen. Selbst die 3/4-Form fühlt sich für mich durchaus noch sehr groß an. Und einen Klangverlust durch die kleinere Gitarren-Größe kann ich bei dem wunderbaren Klang meines Instruments nun wirklich nicht feststellen.

It's very nice

Bespeelbaarheid is licht, de hals is smal, dus geschik voor beginners en kinderen. Het geluid is in orde en zuiver. De bouw is keurig. Yamaha bouwt altijd goede instrumenten en stelt nooit teleur, je kan er op vertrouwen. De prijs kwaliteitsverhouding is goed. Ik speel 55 jaar gitaar.

Ottima prima chitarra da studio. Al primo saggio di chitarra di mio figlio, anche un profano si accorgeva del suono migliore rispetto ad alternative economiche. Super qualita'/prezzo

Definitivamente recomiendo comprarte una buena guitarra como esta si vas a empezar, te va a durar muchísimo!! Esta la súper recomiendo!! Y la medida es perfecta ya que es 3/4, eso la hace más cómoda y más bonita 😊💖
