Yamaha 6 String Series AC3M Small Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar-Mahogany, Tobacco Sunburst, Concert Cutaway TBS

The guitar has a beautiful finish and is well built. It sounds real good. Good Bass and Treble notes. The sustain is also very good. The action on the strings is low and very good.

Beautiful build and surprising quality right out of the box. I was very impressed. For the price, I would highly recommend it over many other brands. Plays well and looks/sounds amazing.

I was looking to upgrade to a better guitar, so I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of reviews on the Internet, and I finally settled on the Yamaha A3M. I was wary about purchasing a guitar over the Internet without being able to try it first, but this guitar was not available locally, so I had no choice. Considering how much this guitar cost, I promised myself I would return it if I wasn't completely happy with it. If there was any fret or string buzz, if I didn't like the action, if there were intonation problems, if I just wasn't happy with the sound, I would return it. Dear reader, I have not returned it. I love this guitar. It cost more than twice as much as my last acoustic, and it is worth every penny. The bottom end is big without being boomy, and the top end has a beautiful chime to it. There is absolutely no buzz anywhere on the neck, and the intonation is perfect. When I strum a chord, it hits me right in the feels, which is exactly what you want when looking for a guitar. I think I got lucky, but it could just be that you really do get what you pay for.

This is probably the best acoustic guitar I have ever played that is made in China. The all wood construction and quality mahogany tone wood really really gives this instrument a great sound. I have been playing on and off for 20 years and this is the best sounding acoustic I have owned. It is not a dreadnought and won't boom across a room. But you still get a balanced and suitably loud volume from this smaller body style. I am really impressed with the sound dynamics of this guitar. I purchased mine lightly used but in excellent condition. I have tried more expensive Martin and Taylor entry grade guitars and they don't come close. Unless you pay the premium for the higher end of the big two brands you are only paying for the brand. Not worth it. For a sub $1000 all solid wood guitar with a high quality electro-acoustic system, the Yamaha can't be beat. Comes with a premium gig bag.

The next gen definitely sounds better but it you can get a deal on it. It's a great guitar
