I was really in love with this guitar when I first got it, it's absolutely stunning, great quality as usual from Yamaha. The size fits really nicely when playing it, I think it's great for children starting out as well. However, after about a year I ended up selling it, because I was not happy with the sound anymore, when played acoustically. After playing around with other guitars from friends and comparing I noticed it doesn't really have much bass or resonance, I assume because of the smaller body, and I couldn't stop noticing it after. I will probably end up buying one from the FG 8 series next.
