"Yamaha has done it again."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Overall this is a FANTASTIC guitar for the price. It's not a seagull or a Taylor but it still is up there with the greats. If it was stolen, i would replace it with the same model the next day with out a doubt.
Sound
The sound of the guitar is amazing for the price. I've played some other models around this price range (squier, alvarez) and all i can say is that this guitar sounds 10000X times better.
Quality
The quality is great (especially the fact it was made in china) it has a nice high gloss which looks fantastic, and the tortoise pick guard compliments it very nicely.
Value
Yamaha has done it again. They've created a great entry level guitar for a very nice price. I would have payed an extra $50-$100 if I had to.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had any problems with the guitar since i got it (about 1 year ago). But if I do, im sure they will fix it.
