General Your general opinion of this product. I tried every guitar available under $1000 and this one sounded and played the best (even played side by side with the entry-level Martins and Taylors). It's also got all-solid tone woods. The excellent electronics give you a lot of options for shaping the sound with a 3-band EQ and some really cool microphone modeling. The built-in tuner is a great feature. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Seems very well-constructed. It has a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides (Others in this price range use laminates on the back and sides.) Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The neck feels great and is very easy to play. Yamaha rounded the edges of the fretboard though, so it is possible to slide the low-E string off of the fret board. (But you get used to it) Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? It has a brighter tone with good wood tones. The bass isn't quite as deep as I would like, but still pretty good. Action How was the action out of the box? VERY good. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Flawless. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Only had it month, so time will tell. I have had good experiences with Yamaha in the past, though.

Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The feel is great although I wasn't use to such large frets to begin with. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth?

Finish How did the stain or paint job look? There are 0 flaws in the finish of mine. Action How was the action out of the box? For an acoustic it's great... not the same as my Epiphone Elitist, but it's very nice.
