Feature:
reverb is a miracle, also the volume and tone control is ideal.

Quality:
Aha, he a small 9 because the removable part of the body is not very stable.

Value:
cheap investment for life, best deal ever, you will never need an other classical guitar.

Desirability:
No I have it and will keep it

Sound:
It's like playing in a cathedral with the reverb on. Still the sound is pure and natural as can be a classical guitar.

Ease of Use:
You do not play this guitar, the guitar plays you. It's amazing how creative you can become just playing it. Ideas just come by themselves

Support:
never needed it, so it must be very good

Overall:
No doubt about it: full success.

Quality:
Overall excellent quality fit and finish for all the working bits, but a minor complaint about the cheap 'trapdoor' lid for the onboard 9V battery.

Value:
Unique market niche, so a bit hard to compare, but rates very well against similarly priced electric acoustics.

Desirability:
I have lost count of all the "How cool is THAT!" comments I have had since first using this guitar. Space age looks, with the natural wood colouring make it a real eye catcher. The light weight, rich sound and ease of playing are a real joy.

Sound:
Fabulous overall sound, especially through an amp, but sometimes sounds a little flat on the upper strings in clean mode. I need to experiment some on different gauge strings to tidy up the occasional flat sound. The supplied earbud phones are just OK, I use a pair of Sennheisers for excellent sound response when using 'phones.

Ease of Use:
This is an extremely lightweight thin body guitar that is easy to use both seated and standing. You barely notice it even after a long session. The neck is nicely curved and although narrow, has plenty of room for most style of players. Fingerpickers may find it a little crowded on the fretboard.

Overall:
I bought this guitar primarily as a travel guitar, but have found that it is far better quality than the standard traveller. This one is definitely a keeper, and I can see myself playing it for many years to come. I love the space age looks, light weight and small size and the incredible sound produced by such an unlikely looking instrument.

Sound:
I can not rate this guitar high enough..first a fantastic design in every respect...simple effective natural...yes the side frame is made from laminated wood! not resin or plastic...Its inovative yet retains the simplicity of a real classical guitar.. The b band pick-up gives this guitar a very natural sound and the onboard reverb just makes it better! Its a future classic in my opinion... Use a acoustic xciter with this guitar and you have something really hot and that can match the best electro acoustics at any price!!! After saying the above... a trussrod version would be very useful!and also a bridg that allows for more pro adjustment to lower the action!...but then the purity would be lost

Feature:
Can be used silently using the headphones provided so you don't annoy the neighbours! Components are excellant and you can expect the usual Yamaha excellant quality..

Quality:
Fantastically made as you would expect and reliable, I have never had a problem. It is not made to be thrashed but can be looked after very easily and the dismantling for the gig bag is excellant, and a great idea. Looks cool as well. Will last as long as I play the guitar.

Value:
Not bad but may seem expensive for a lack of body work!

Desirability:
Looks so cool and wanted it as soon as I saw. It sounds good too!

Sound:
Excellant and loads of combinations. It is easy to play with a few on-board effects like reverb. Many different sounds can be created using the correct equipment.

Support:
No problems so obviously can only assume it is as good as the guitar itself.

Overall:
I love it and wouldn't want to change. I can do anything on this guitar as it is so compatible with everything.

Value:
It's a lot of money for a hunk of wood and a crumby reverb.

Sound:
The built in reverb feature is 3rd rate. Leave out the reverb and put in a built in tuner. If I ignored this fatal mistake by Yamaha, I would give this guitar a 10!

Value:
Can't beat a Quality instrument for under $400

Desirability:
I own it the sheer genius of its design

Sound:
Not much ... The B-Band pickup is outstanding, both with headphone and through a studio board.

Support:
Don't know...I've had no problems with this guitar

Quality:
I think the product is made well but needs big improvement on the body. needs some color and liveliness.

Value:
the price is a little steep for the quality of this guitar. should be around the $300's max.

Desirability:
It has a very modern design with a boring look and you cant mix the two. there sould be some different colors to choose from.

Sound:
sounds good with headphones but on an amp needs improvement also needs some color to it.
