Great guitar for recording. Cut away gives ease of access for top notes which come off both clean and expressive. As an accoustic guitar the enlarged sound hole compensates for the thin body of the guitar, however do not expect a dreadnaught sound as after all this is not the intent of the instrument.

The guitar has a an equalizer that works very well in consideration of the price point. A built in tuner would have been a good idea.

In every way fit and finish are second to none. This is a great looking instrument and quality in the asembly is apparent. A great road guitar as it is quite a bit thinner than a regular accoustic guitar.

Well worth the selling price . It plays beyond its relative worth.

Never had to. No problems.

Very sexy looking instrument no question about it.

The acoustic sound is fine for solo or duo work, but not big enough for acoustic band work due to the thin body. This is a very small problem because the electric sound is incredible. Clean, big, versatile and dynamic. I've received tons of compliments for the sound through amps and PA systems.

The EQ is a great feature and you can really boost the low end, if needed. It doesn't have a built-in tuner, but I believe too many gadgets are not necessary on an instrument.

The guitar plays great and balanced. The frets could have been shaped better - they were a little sharp on the edges when I first got it. The location of the EQ directly on the top is easy to access and adjust during playing.

Yamaha makes quality instruments and for the price I can't knock this guitar at all. As I said eariler, the frets could have been shaped better.

Great for the price, even if it sold for a few hundred dollars more. The black body looks very cool and professional.

I have had no need to deal with Yamaha support for this instrument.

It does look great, but is a very practical guitar. The thin black body is a winner.

This guitar is at its best when played through an amp. It has good ssound qualit when played as an acoustic, but the sound thins out quickly compared to other acoustics with large sound holes and full bodies. The action is without equal...even against Martin, Taylor and Guild acoustics. I took some of the edges off of the first eight frets and the action got even quicker. What a guitar for the dollars spent.

This guitar presents itself well. No gimmicks or fluff needed.

It's the best offered.

I have not needed to contact the company.

It is a sexy guitar

IT IS A GOOD PRODUCT CONSIDERINK THE COST OF IT. GREAT ACOUSTIC SOUND.WHEN PLUGED IN THOW IT COMES OUT A BIT HARD ON THE EDGES.A LOT OF BASS (A BIT BOOMY)AND IT SHORT OF SCRATCES ON TREMBLE. NOT SO COMFY ON THE NECK THOW THE ACTION CAN BE LOW ENOUGH. THE MIDS COME OUT NICE BUT IF YOU TRY TO BOOST LIFT THEM THEY COME OUT HARD. IN GENERAL IT IS GOOD FOR MID SKILL PLAYERS BUT NOT SO GOOD FOR PROFESIONAL!
