I've always been impressed with Yamaha's Classical guitars. I've been a guitar teacher for the past 10 or so years, and lots of my students have them. For the money they can't be beat, except maybe by Cordoba. I'd wanted a flamenco but couldn't afford an expensive guitar, so I gave this Yamaha a shot (After a slightly bad experience with a Cordoba 7f) Great guitar! Very well built, solid. Plays well. Good volume and punch. Fairly well balanced (maybe just a bit heavy on the bass side, though this improved when I changed the strings to Savaraez Alliance Reds) I was a little worried because I've always thought satin finishes look cheap, but it's quite a beautiful guitar. I do wish it had a bone saddle / nut, and make sure to budget for a case. But, it's an awesome value.

Needed a good but inexpensive Guitar for my daughter to start on. This Guitar looks very nice and plays pretty well right out of the box. The tuners work well and stay in tune. Frets and finger board are quite nicely playable and comfortable. My daughters instructor liked it and recommended it to the other students. I play acoustic so the neck is really wide for me but it plays sweetly. Lots of fun for the price.

I have tried other nylon string guitars in higher price ranges, and this one put all of them in the shade. Nice action right out the box................just under 3mm on the bass side 12th fret, 2.5 mm on the treble side.......I added a Zero Nut, Tusq Saddle and upgraded the tuners, a set of Oasis HT strings, and this guitar competes with others costing 4 to5 times more. A nice hidden bonus, when I changed the nut, I found there is a hidden adjustable truss rod. Pleased with this, and the always great service from zZounds.

Hey, I (hopefully) will be buying one of these next month. I mostly play classical, and own only classical guitars, but I do know a good guitar. I just get the inch of try some flamenco technique and don't like to mess up my classical tops. So I need a flamenco I can really let go and play without being afraid of scratching one of my classical's tops. I have played 2 of these, and both were pretty good. If anything, I think most complaints I had can be forgiven and blamed on the plastic saddle and nut, which a bone nut and saddle could solve easy. The first one I played was ok, sounded a little dull and dead on the trebles in the upper registry. To be specific I mean low volume/projection, low resonance. The woods weren't doing all that they can do. But it was by not means unsatisfying. Don't get me wrong, the guitar was quite responsive to my touch, but did not have great projection in the upper positions, past the 10th fret or so. However, although this is most likely due to the nature of guitars in general in regards to the high level of variance you will find between 2 guitars, the second one I played was just great. Had a nice rumble against my chest when strummed, seemed stepped up a notch from the first one I played. I am used to cedar though, and I am told that spruce takes longer to sound full, so that might be why. Definitely satisfied with this guitar, acoustically and playability wise. Looks nice too.

I bought this guitar back in September of 2022 and am using it as my main guitar now because it has great tone, it is easy to play and is extremely light. Great guitar and great value and every one that have asked me to try my guitar has loved it.
