Feature:
Not many features. Just an acoustic.

Quality:
I have a friend who has an older model Yamaha that is almost exactly like the one I have. and it is about 30 years old. It sounds just as good as mine which is only a year or two old. The bridge is still good and the frets have held up over the years.

Value:
This is a great guitar for the money. I think it is about the lowest dollar solid spruce top you can get and the solid tops sound much better than laminate ones. I wouldn't say it is worth more than $200 just because I think you can get an acoustic/electric from Yamaha for $250. But if it was a Fender, it would probably be a $300 guitar.

Desirability:
It looks good, it would be cool if they made a mahogany color or some sort of darker brown.

Sound:
This one sounds pretty good for the money. I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I've played a few higher dollar fenders and low dollar martins and this guitar sounds just as good as those. Ibanez was my other choice, but this one just sounded better.

Support:
No problems.

Overall:
This thing should last awhile. The next guitar I buy will probably be in the $700-$900 range, but for the beginner/casual player, this is a nice guitar. So much better than the $99 specials that everyone seems to waste their money on.

Yamaha FG403S Acoustic Customer Review

Sound:
It sounded very good in the store when I went in to buy it today. Much deeper and richer sounding than the other ones in the similar price range.

Overall:
I just bought this guitar today, and the only beef that I have is with the size...looking back I dont know if I would have gotten a cheaper model just for the smaller size, but then it also would be cheaper in sound so it is really hard to say. But I am very impressed with the other people's ratings, and I am definetly glad that I bought it. If anyone wants to help me out with guitar advice or if I should return it for a smaller one they can email me at Reesey_12@yahoo.ca Thanks

I just recently played one of these and a day later I put it on layaway. What I liked about it was the rich bass. If you like a more treble tone this is not for you. It has good action and is the lowest price solid top I could find. I know two people who own a Yamaha dreadnought and each of them bought the guitars more than ten years ago and are still playing them!
