I bought this guitar for my 7 year old daughter. Wanted something "more than a toy." The OEM strings are horrible and the action is way-high. She could barely press the string without cutting her fingers! I've since gotten my son a Laguna Little Brat, and the difference is night-and-day. The Brat has a richer sound, better strings, holds a tune better. For the money the Yamaha is not bad, but you'll have to adjust and change strings. The Baby Taylor and Little Martin are much better but cost twice as much.

I have had this guitar for about two months. I am amazed by the good sound for an inexpensive 3/4 size guitar. I am well pleased with it and play it quiet often. I like the small size and the good sound. The neck is comfortable and the string height is good right out of the box. It also has a truss rod for adjustments if necessary. I have a little buzz when I start working the b or high e string at about the 10th or 12th fret but what can you expect for such an inexpensive guitar. It is not enough buzz for me to send back that is for sure. I have a more expensive Ibanez that has a little buzz. You will find that quiet often on a lot of guitars a fret or two that may be a little too high but that is an easy fix. Like I say, it is an excellent little guitar with great volume and sound quality. It is not just a starter child guitar that is for sure. I love to practice with it and work on musical pieces that are difficult to accomplish from the start. It is extremely comfortable and I am glad I bought it. I would not hesitate to buy another from Yamaha because they did a great job on this little instrument.

I have had this guitar for about a year and it still sounds as good as new. I've been moving it though the house and has banged it up it doesn't even have a scratch. I thought this guitar was amazing for its price. I'd recommend this guitar to any young folk.

This is a great guitar for the money!! I love it, it sounds good, is great for traveling and is pretty. It is not a Taylor or a Gibson, but it is great for a begining guitarist, and for a travel guitar for a experienced musician. The action came nice out of the box, and it stays in tune real long time aswell. So, if you need a begining guitar, or a travel guitar and cont want to spend a lot, get this one!

A friend and I recently took this guitar on a 3-week trip to Costa Rica. It was a lot of fun, and the instrument easily fits in the overhead carryon compartment. The overall quality is very good, with the exception of sharp fret ends. The intonation wasn't great, but installing a compensated bridge and changing the cheap original strings improved the tone a lot over its "factory" condition. Along with getting the fret ends smoothed, these inexpensive mods turned an OK guitar into a very nice one that I won't want to leave behind the next time I travel.
