If you find that you're having any difficulty with what seems to be extraordinary finger pain as you develop callouses, consider having it looked at for a set-up. I just started playing and with my Yamaha FD01s, a set-up made a HUGE difference with regard to play-ability and thus enjoyment of learning.

The nut was replaced (with bone) and the spacing increased ever so slightly. The action was lowered and a lighter set of strings placed. Has made a very big difference.

Have a blast playing!

Congratulations! I have a couple of students who have these and they are a great value and sound good.

Enjoy and good luck on your learning journey. Welcome to the AGF.

Well, that's what really matters -that your guitar makes YOU happy!

When I was shopping for an acoustic after a long hiatus in which I played solid-body electric guitars exclusively, I ran across several Yamahas like yours that sounded fantastic. I was very impressed by most of them and the few that I wasn't impressed with probably would have been great, too, with a fresh set of strings on them.

The reason I don't have one now is because I couldn't get on well with the neck profile. I kept playing them when I was shopping, though, as a kind of standard for comparison for guitars that were more comfortable for me to play. Tone-wise, I really DO like the model that much.

Blessings and happy pickin'
