Great Starter Student Guitar

Started my son out on this guitar and it's perfect for the beginner. Good quality (for what it is). Right price. It's pretty quiet, which works in our house, but if you're looking for a big sound it's not that. Feels like an instrument, not a toy. Of course it's still quite cheap. I'd say this is a true Yamaha, definitely good value for money.

Nice little guitar

I keep this one next to the sofa. I end up writing on it more than my much more expensive guitars because it's easy to play and small. Just pick it up and go. Leave it around and not worry about humidity, bumps, etc. Nice to have a little guitar to throw around a bit and still use a lot. The strings are still stock afetr 6 months. Not bad! The sound is what it should be for a little guitar. Not a Hummingbird, but great for writing music and singing with.

Great for tiny guitarists

Bought for 6y old daughter, to spark her interest in guitar play. She is 121cm tall, and this fits her size perfectly.

The guitar itself sounds reasonably well, but loses depth as you move up the frets (expected). My only qualm with this is the tuning, which will only hold for one session. Strings B and G seem to loosen most, the rest stay quite close to tuning. I don't know if this is product specific, or I just got a faulty item. I'm sure this can be fixed, but I don't want the hassle. Doesn't bother me much, because it forces my kid to practice tuning before exercising, and holds long enough for the kid to get bored.

Tuning issue aside, this is certainly fit for purpose and very much meets the product description.

My 7 year old likes it.

My son likes it and too be honest I like it too. He's learning classical guitar while I prefer rockabilly. Guitar sounds good and plays well. Decent overall quality. Probably worth the money.
