Review: I thought I would have to return it - 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.
Review: Dream Guitar - There's nothing I don't like about this A3M guitar. I received it 12 hours ago, and I must have played 5-6 hours....I just can't put it down! The look, the feel, the sound....all of it. I have been guitar hunting for a while, and I'd set my mind on getting a Yamaha. If I could avoid spending too much money, I would, so I ordered 3 different guitars: a FGC-TA ...it arrived with terrible fret buzz and I returned it. Then I got the popular FGX830C....It arrived in a completely destroyed box with the guitar covered in dust. I tried it and really liked it. The 830 offers great value, and it IS a good guitar. BUT! Today the A3M arrived....and boy oh boy !!! Ok. So, the A3M comes with a bag and costs $ 1000. The 830 is about $ 550 but then you have to pay $ 150 for a case; so figure $ 700. Is the A3M worth the extra $ 300? Oh yes - you better believe it is. I would say it is worth A LOT more than that. Normally my fingers would be hurting like H... after playing acoustic for 5-6 hours...but they are not hurting at all! The rolled edges and the butter-smooth feeling of the A3M strings and fretboard....I am blown away (can you tell?). Yamaha...thank you for making such a guitar available at such an attractive price point....this guitar easily competes with guitars costing 2-3 times more. I had really hoped to spend a little less money, but now that I got it....totally worth it. This guitar is gonna stay with me. April 11th UPDATE: Plugged the guitar into my Boss Katana 100 Artist amp yesterday evening......no sound. This is a sad day. Witing for Yamaha to respond. I may have to return this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Correct size and Good Quality

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.
