Review: a great all around guitar beginners and pro's - this guitar is a little more pricey than others listed, but is WORTH it. a very solid guitar, and consistent. if playing-as just an acoustic, it is warm, yet sparkles. wonderful accessible action! a neck that feels right at home. This case fits it perfectly!!! (Yamaha AG3-Hard Case Concert Size Hardshell Acoustic Guitar Case) This guitar also has as a built in tuner which is at first sounds (like eh) but turns out to be a real treat to have with you all the time. the electronics are very nice sounding as well. also comes with a sound hole cover (not a coaster for your coffee) this helps if there are any feedback issues when playing out through a PA. Yamaha has made a wonderful solid guitar for playing gigs around town, or just having in your house to share with friends or family. Not to mention this guitar will hold up in any studio. you do not need a thousand$ guitar to satisfy all your needs. not cheap, but well worth every dollar. highly recommend, and the purchase through desertcart, they helped all along the way!!!
Review: A well-built Yamaha with a decent sound - This guitar is well-built with a decent sound - bright highs and moderate lows. The finish is nice, and I especially like the wooden edging on the body, which gives it the feel of a higher-end instrument. The neck is thin and smooth, and it seems they’ve improved the finish compared to A-series models from 5-6 years ago. The fretboard is comfortable to play, though some of the fret edges are a bit sharp. It’s worth noting that while the guitar comes with a sound hole cover and Elixir strings, there was no truss rod key included. Action is a bit high, so you may want to lower the bridge.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I thought I would have to return it
*by T***T on July 30, 2021*

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.
