Review: Good buy with realsitic expectations - Have had the guitar for almost a month now. For the money you pay, workmanship is very good (as usual for Yamaha), no additional set-up was required with the action quite comfortable for me. Initially it had difficulty staying in tune and the sound was less than impressive, but this was due to the stock strings. No, I have not replaced them yet as after 3-4 days of tuning before playing, they stretched quite nicely and the guitar has been in tune for more than a week now (and played almost daily - several songs). Sound markedly improved as well - it was very tin-like out of the box, it has deepened some. It will probably further improve once I get to replacing the strings. Talking of sound - do not expect to get what you are getting out of your full-size instrument. Obviously the smaller body will produce a different result, but for the money and the flexibility to easily fit in your trunk, overhead compartment on the plane or anywhere else where space is limited (or just grab by the neck and bring it along when going for a picnic), it is great value. I am tall (188cm) and it is more difficult to move along the neck (the distance between both hends is much smaller than with full-size) when you need Eb on 6th fret for example, but it is not impossible. Still very playable once you get used to it. I cannot compare to other 3/4 sizes as I have never owned or played one. If you are looking for a guitar to take on stage - you will likely not be happy with the sound performance, but if you only need it for the occasional travel with friends or would like to strum several chords before going to bed - it is perfect. Oh yeah - gig bag is also pretty good for the price you pay. :) Price paid - GBP104 inclusive of shipping.
Review: five stars JR-1/ FG Junior. - Arrived two or the three days of ordering, very well packed in two cardboard boxes, very well-made set up with a low action made from good materials, good machine heads like Fender vintage but smaller. no fret buzz on any frets but a little bit rough when bending but are starting to smooth out after a little use, very easy to play nice sized three-quarter scale very Ed Sheeran, great sound for finger style, includes a soft case gig bag great value for money for the pro to the beginner, Yamaha have done it again, five stars JR-1/ FG Junior.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: has it got a truss rod for neck adjustment?**
A: Yes it does!

**Q: Are all the strings steel**
A: Yes, all the strings are steel.

**Q: Does it come with a pluckers or it has to be bought separately?**
A: It came with a nice bag and is a very nice guitar, for a small, child’s instrument. It’s well set up, very playable, keeps in tune and makes a nice, light sound. It doesn’t come with either plectra or thumb picks, but they cost pennies.

**Q: Is this a classical guitar, or regular acoustic guitar? Thanks**
A: Regular steel string guitar, remember 3/4 of the size of a normal dreadnought style guitar. Yamaha are a great brand. Good for younger starter or as a travel guitar.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar, that really reliable Yamaha sound
*by R***S on 22 July 2015*

Great guitar, that really reliable Yamaha sound. Set up good, no awkwardness it getting use to the feel of the fretboard.....if you've played yamahas before you'll know what I mean. Not a big body so a tiny bit tinny, but you'd expect that....spruce top will get warmer the more it's played. For the money excellent value....much better value than the Martin or Taylor versions (sorry guys the name doesn't carry those for me !) one bit of feedback you need a shoulder strap on the gig bag......4 stars in view of the gig bag strap thing; but that's a personal preference.
