Feature:
The tuners work well and stay in tune. The wood dents fairly easy, but then again what wood dosnt... Its light which i feel enhances my playing ability and the neck is easily manueuverable...

Quality:
Hasnt let me down yet... takes a beating and keeps on rocking... although the wood is soft all the dinks give it character...

Value:
excellent guitar for the value... there are players who would say its a good beginner guitar... i would say it is a great beginning guitar... i have been playing for about 8 years now and although i dont use it for my bigger gigs, i bring it out for the others...

Desirability:
You want it...

Sound:
Has a very crisp sound... no buzzes on the neck ... and easy to keep in tune... I have played Martins, Taylors, you name it... and this guitar keeps up...

Ease of Use:
Like i said before... it stays in tune... it works well when I need to mic it and it balences out well when using a strap...

Support:
never had to deal with it

Overall:
badass guitar... its an good guitar for the daily player... the only thing i would rather would be an electric package. If you dont know how to play its going to sound like crap, like any guitar... if you have some experience, sounds great...

This was my beginner guitar, that got me started. This is a great deal considering what you get for what you pay. It has a really good sound. This is your ideal beginner guitar. I suggest you start with this if you want to start playing guitar. I have friends that pay more for used guitars that aren't made as nice.

Nice beginner guitar. Can be a little twangy but you can change the strings to eliminate that. Some people that play mine like it...so its just a matter of preference. Highly recommend it.

I have owned my Yamaha F310 for about 6 months now and I love it. I have had no problems with it. When compaired to other guitars that my friends have I noticed a nice full acoustic sound. It is fun to play and even more fun to jam out on.

My first acoustic guitar, I'm a keyboard player just learning guitar. I have a great ear and I think this thing has really warm acoustic sounds. I wanted to play my own sounds instead of sampling them and I'm soo pleased. It's a little thick in the body, but I put some Excliar strings on this thing and it really made a difference ;-) Compared to to the Takamine, and Gibson startup guitars, this was one had mad tone !

Nice Axe !

My Music teacher said that this is a great value this guitar plays like her $3,000 Martin dreadnought.

I picked up this guitar when I was just starting out as a raw beginner. It seemed like a good value for money. I got the package system that was sold through Yamaha (known as the F310P), which includes a pitch pipe, gig bag, string set, picks, capo, strap and string-winder. Most people aren't aware that this guitar is made in Indonesia; at least that's what the Yamaha dealer told me. In my opinion, this guitar looks good enough and plays well enough for a beginner. Intermediate users should consider getting a solid-top guitar.

I picked it up as it came in a complete package, saving me the hassle of picking out the individual components to make my guitar experience a good one.

This guitar is a laminated top, and sounds rather tinny to me. But beginners should start with laminated tops as they can be subjected to more 'mishandlings' than can solid-tops.

The action was low enough for me, but the sound was lacking. But I stuck to this guitar for a year of so before I moved on to a quality solid-top.

Anyway, if you're spending below $300, expect to find most of the guitars made in Korean, Taiwan, China or even Indonesia.

Though some have commented that this guitar sounds better than a Martin, my response is...hardly! They must have been using either an imitation Martin or a badly damaged Martin, which fails to play properly.

The binding is poorly done and the tuners are rather bad (one of my tuners has come off), but what more could you expect for the price? In addition, the varnish chips easily, so don't be too rough on it.

Some reviews on the Net state that this is a fabulous guitar. If your noggin were in working order, you'd take comments like this with a pinch of salt.

I bought a factory second. The tone and playability are surprisingly good- some buzzes but I haven't tried heavier gauge strings which I think will fix it. Pretty from a distance- up close the finer details leave something to be desired, but sound is what counts, for me. I bought it to take to Africa in place of my 52 Gibson.I would recommend it to a beginner.

Great sound quality and a good start for a young player

This guitar is no toy and is crafted like guitars costing much more. Great tone but not as nice as a Seagull.
