After having ordered and returned a classical guitar 3/4 sized, reading all the reviews, I'm tickled with this little guitar. Sounds good both with and without the electric hookup. Yep, it's a keeper.

Disappoointed at the lack of quality control in the finish and paint.

Lovely guitar very small and cute

This is an astonishingly little guitar! We did understand that a ¾ size is less than full, but speaking as a 5'1" woman with smallish hands, it's tiny! It's the body, not the fretboard, that's especially small. I'll have to learn how to hold it without doing any weird clamping with my right arm. It will probably be best with a strap, but I didn't realize I hadn't added one to my order, so unless I go all crafty and make one I'm temporarily out of luck.This guitar has amazing sound given its size - it is definitely a real guitar. You have to assume that an itsy bitsy $200 model is not going to sound like a $2000 dreadnought. It can't. Anyone who expects that is delusional. Nevertheless, this guitar is a real musical instrument and it sounds far better than we anticipated.I expected that it might have some rough fret ends - nope, they're comfortable, no filing or sanding needed. Thought from other people's reviews that the strings might be crap, so I bought a set of D'Addarios just in case, but the strings that came on the instrument sound fine for learning and practicing. They are also surprisingly easy on the fingers, so the factory didn't set them too high. I will ask a couple of experienced people if they think the guitar needs a setup, but my initial impression is that it's probably pretty good.I was ready to pooh-pooh the built-in electric tuner, as many years ago I was accustomed to tuning a violin by ear and have a quality piano in the living room - but dang, the thing is handy. It can be surprisingly fussy to tune a guitar. It's been holding its tune reasonably well since day one, which is a relief. We expect some variability as the strings relax and stretch with use and weather conditions and so on, but I don't have an impression that there's anything wrong with the tuning machines.Basically, the only surprises have been pleasant ones so far. And this thing is adorable. Truly, it is so cute! I didn't expect to coo over it like it's a new baby, and in fact I haven't been that pathological, but it still tickles me to look at it.The one we bought (via Amazon) came from Sam Ash, and they packed it well. It shipped in its gig bag (a decent bag, too, as others have mentioned), in Yamaha's sturdy cardboard box, and that box went into a shipping box with ample cushioning between. That was a huge relief.I read another review which said that one of these guitars smelled of chemicals at first. I'm also highly sensitive to chemical offgassing, so was ready for some unpleasantness there. In our case, it's the gig bag that smells to a disturbing degree. The guitar itself has only a slight vestige of stain or varnish or whatever, not enough to worry me, though everyone is different (and the guitars themselves may vary). The bag, though, is going to be hung, unzipped, in our entryway for a while.Even after reading all the other positive reviews, I didn't expect to be quite so happy with this instrument. Given that I really do want to learn to play guitar, and didn't want either to overspend or to get something that would turn out to be a crappy waste of money, this feels like a wise purchase - and that's a good feeling!

Excelente guitarra, sonido espectacular y una inmejorable relación calidad/precio, tamaño perfecto para cargarla a dónde vayas, obviamente el sonido acustico es menos fuerte que una guitarra full size pero aún así es de mis favoritas.

Excelente para llevar de viaje y muy satisfecho con su calidad , sorprendente el sonido para tan pequeño instrumento , una aplauso a Yamaha !

I bought this guitar as a travel guitar after missing the ability to play acoustically with my Ultra-Light Traveler guitar. As expected, the acoustic sound is thinner by virtue of the smaller body. There seems to be significant body noise with the piezo pickup, but it's not the worst I've experienced, and it is a decent sounding piezo. Interestingly, it runs on 2 AAs, included, which are much more available than the usual 9V. Not sure how the battery life compares yet.This guitar does travel very well. Fits readily in small spaces like overhead airplane bins or stuffed car trunks, and it is very sturdy.

Muy buen instrumento. A pesar de ser una guitarra escala 3/4, lo le pide nada a una guitarra normal. Evidentemente los graves no tienen tanta presencia por el tamaño de la caja pero cumple su función de ser una guitarra de viaje con una gran calidad de sonido.

Instrumento que no puedes creer que tenga tan buen sonido, lo considero un producto de mucha calidad por parte del fabricante
