Review: THIS ONE! GET THIS ONE! - Amazing quality for a crazy low price. If you’re interested in learning, this is the choice you’re looking for. It’s held tuning amazingly, it feels nice, it’s definitely well built, and it just looks good! Great choice for beginners or shredders who want to learn classical! Great size, doesn’t feel awkward, and it sounds incredible. Only had to tune up after opening it, the strings it came with were good but I had ordered some extras knowing they’ll be needed.
Review: Well worth the cost - Very nice entry level or spare guitar. Tuned easily. Good sound

## Questions & Answers

**Q: solid wood or laminates? thanks**
A: It is neither solid top nor laminate (formica type). It is laminated spruce (plywood with spruce as the top species. It sounds quite good.

**Q: I've ordered c40ii, but the label inside the guitar says c40. is it still c40ii? how do i distinguish these two?**
A: The C40II that I ordered says "C40" on the label as well.  I called Yahama and asked them because I don't know my woods well enough to tell if the sides and back are mahogany or not.  They seemed to be surprised that the label just said "C40" but they looked up the manufacture date from the serial number and it is a C40II because it was manufactured in 2019.  This may not be the case for your guitar.

**Q: Is the full size still smaller than an acoustic guitar?**
A: A classical guitar is an acoustic guitar.  This is a full sized classical guitar.  I am assuming you mean compared to a steel string.  In that case you would need to be more specific as there are several standard sizes for steel string guitars (standard sizes as in, not even getting into all the different sizes of travel guitars and 3/4 sized guitars, etc).  The Jumbo and Dreadnought steel strings are much larger than a full sized classical guitar.  Beyond that it gets a bit complicated as it isn't fully standardized and different companies will have different names for similar or even the same size/shape guitar.  Many use Martin's convention: 0, 00, 000, OM (from smallest to largest, all smaller than a Dread, which is smaller than a Jumbo).  Those that don't, typically, a Concert will be roughly the same as a 00, a Parlor guitar is an 0, Taylor's Grand Auditorium is bigger than an OM but may be a little smaller than a Dread (it seems pretty close), an Orchestra is an OM, etc.  Then it gets even more complicated when you get to the fretboard and scale length.  The classical has a wider fretboard than any steel string, it has fewer frets... Then there is the question of where the fretboard meets the body...

So, bottom line, a classical guitar is a different animal than steel string acoustics.  Body size is probably closest to a Concert/00 body steel string, but you will have a much wider fretboard but with fewer frets.  The fretboard is also flat on a classical and slightly rounded on a steel string.  So, if you are just starting, don't go by paper measurements, go to the store to try them out to see what fits you best (if you can play a little) and if you are a total beginner than go with your teacher's advice.  Both have their advantages and disadvantages, some will have to do with your hand size, but a lot will depend on the style of guitar you'd prefer.

**Q: What is the soundboard made from? Plywood or solid wood?**
A: I cannot say for sure,but  whatever material was used it sounds pretty good for the price.I know what I am saying because I have compared it to my takamine and Cordoba classical which are more expensive and the sound is not faroff

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing value.
*by N***K on July 2, 2018*

You're not going to find a nicer guitar at this price point, full stop. You may want to replace the strings (the included wound ones are very susceptible to wear) but that's a cheap and easy fix. There's even a nice little guide included that covers string replacements if you've never restrung a nylon instrument before. For people like me who are balling on a budget, Yamaha knocked it out of the park with this one. Excellent sound, no buzz (that other guy must have gotten a defective one), great action, and a lightweight but sturdy construction. This is the first budget instrument I've tried that doesn't feel like a compromise. You may have some issues with quality control (always a risk buying instruments online), but Amazon has a good return policy so worst comes to worst you can get a replacement. Some things to note: - This is a full size guitar, it'll probably be too big for younger kids. If you've got really young kids, try the Yamaha GL1. I don't own one, but I've played one and was similarly impressed. - There's only one fret marker on this thing, at the 7th fret. You can get a pack of these for under ten bucks on here, so probably do that if you're newer to guitar. - Don't put steel strings on this. They do this at guitar stores all the time with used classical guitars, and it damages the neck over time. They're designed for nylon and it sounds great with nylon anyway. - Skip the pick. It's bad on the strings and you're missing out on one of the best parts of classical guitar if you're not fingerpicking. That's about it. If you're on the fence, go for it. You'll be impressed.
