5 out of 5 stars Good classical guitar   April 26, 2010

I picked up this one and fell in love with it. How I wish I could have it 20 years ago when I was in college. :)

Well built, good sound quality. Wondering why there's no "Yamaha" logo on guitar 'head'...

I got this guitar 2003 and seven years later it still has an amazing sound. This guitar has a strong neck and keeps its tune for a long time. Many people have played this guitar and just love how it sounds. This guitars quality is as good as any classical guitar, the price is a good deal. You won't regret buying this guitar. I use Augustine classical guitar strings, I also use Pro Arte (Normal Tension EJ45C) classical guitar strings which sound really good (highly recommended). For those who are first time guitar buyers...NEVER put steel strings on a classical guitar because the neck is not strong enough and it will bend or snap. Classical guitar strings are nylon. Keep guitar away from extreme heat. This guitar looks nice and has a gloss finish. The neck is not too big or too small, it's just right.Handling is good and has a white mark indicating the 7th fret where you can easily see it.

I bought a Yamaha C-40 on EBay for $60 (and had to add strings, so I guess that was another few bucks). But it is a nice-sounding guitar, the type I learned on in the early 70s. Back then I transferred easily after a couple years to my Gibson J-45 acoustic. But I wanted a guitar for my office that wasn't so valuable an item and this has filled the bill beautifully. Easy and fun to play.

I recently took this guitar off the wall rack in my home studio where it sat for 2 years and played it and stayed nearly in tune, it was only a flat from standard E tuning. I always like this guitar better from more expensive because price, quality, and tone. Upon purchasing this guitar, cuz I neeeded for a classical class that I took back then, I changed the strings to D'addario pro arte hard tension and the sound gain a richer tone. Even my instructor who was a hardcore classical player noticed.Im so happy with my Yamaha, So glad that I purchase it instead of a $fifteen hundred dollar Ramirez..

I'm a beginner and I have owned previously another guitar of a different brand at aprox. the same price and it was not as nearly as good as this one.

You can trust Yamaha on this one, this worths every penny.

Maybe as in my case, you'll probably end up tired of practicing before this guitar wears out.

Once you(or the one that received it as a gift from you) have realised that playing guitar is so hard, you'll be glad to know that at least you didn't pay that much for the trying. And still you can re-sell it or keep it for the visits to play.

I'm very concern with the quality of the things I buy, and I consider this one of my best buys. I really recommend it.
