I’ve really enjoyed this guitar's sound, the feel from the IRS treatment. It’s very versatile and has its own tone , not imitating other brands. My only concern I started playing another guitar for two weeks. When I picked up the Yamaha the again the frets were sharp. I’m guessing sprouting. It still sounds and plays amazing but bothers me that this the most expensive new guitar I’ve purchased did this. In all my 63 years this is a first. If I received like this I would’ve returned it. Plan on getting fret ends done.
