User questions & answers

Question:	How wide is the neck of the guitar around the top 5 frets
Answer:	About 2 inches.
Question:	does the 1/2 size have a two tone top? The picture shows a slight line running down the middle that appears to be two tones/two pieces
Answer:	Yes, the top is two pieces of laminated spruce. This is a standard practice for just about every guitar manufacturer.
Question:	I'm a 4'10" adult with tiny baby hands. Looking for smaller guitar so certain chords are easier to play. Which size should I get
Answer:	This probably won't do, as the fretboard is rather wide. A parlor guitar is more your fit. The Little Martin or be the Peavey Composer is small, but sound good. Check them out.
Question:	Is there an option to have it strung for a left-handed child
Answer:	You can always string a guitar backwards, but as a lefty who plays right-handed, I'd strongly urge having the child learn the normal way. So many times you wind up at a party where there's a guitar, and if you can't play it because you've learned a non-standard way, you've severely limited your opportunities. Besides, the left hand which does the fretting has an advantage for a lefty.

User questions & answers

Question:	This may be a dumb question but, is this for both right and left handed players
Answer:	Right handed
Question:	I am purchasing as a gift for my husband and I am wondering about the different between nato, mahogany, and rosewood
Answer:	I bought the mahogany because I play more mellow jazz and mahogany has a more mellow sound to me. Rosewood has a brighter tone more fitted to rock.
Question:	Hi. is it really solid top? love the guitar sound, but i see a little seam going across the top dividing it into two halves? tnx
Answer:	It is a what is called a solid top guitar. It is two pieces of solid wood. Its hard to find a tree big enough to cut a one piece top out of. This is normal for all guitar manufactures even big name brands. Oh and by the way Yamaha is a big name in guitar. Probably the most consistent in quality an construction. Best bang for the buck out there. I have many guitars and in a blind test of family and friends all say my A1R sounds the best. Yes I have more expensive other brands one is all solid top and body but none compare. The sound will only get better with age with your FGX830C YOU HAVE CHOSEN WISELY.
Question:	Which is the best fgx830 or fgx
Answer:	even better than fgx830 and fgx830 is the fgx830

User questions & answers

Question:	Tuner works fine except on two strings- E & A, on both it shows arrow all to right and doesn’t move when trying to tune
Answer:	May be your item I do not have that issue sorry
Question:	Truss rod
Answer:	Yes, it has an adjustable truss rod.
Question:	What is the difference between the "solid spruce top" and the "spruce top" options (besides
Answer:	From what I've read on forums (sorry, that's my only source) if it doesn't say "solid," then it's laminate, a delicate word meaning plywood. Solid spruce will season and "open up" over time. Laminated spruce tops will not. Again, I don't know this first hand. Just what I've gleaned from online guitar forums.Jim
Question:	Why does the product headline say 1/2 size for the JR2 and the description says it is a 1/4 size
Answer:	I know a lot about guitars. The headline is not accurate, it is really a 3/4 size acoustic guitar. In the description, the 21 1/4 is the scale length of the strings, not the size of the guitar. A full size guitar is in the 24-25 inch range. I purchased one of these years ago for my 10 year old grandson. It’s perfect for a youngster. Hopefully that helps

User questions & answers

Question:	will this case work with a breelove concert series acoustic/electric guitar
Answer:	This case comes in different sizes. I bought one for a Dreadnought size. Not sure if a Breedlove Concert size would fit. The dread case would be too big.
Question:	Two sets of dimensions in answers below: 'upper 11.5", lower 14.5", body l 19", d 4",' and, 'upper 12", lower 16 1/4", d 5".' which is right
Answer:	These dimensions seem to the guitar (mine is the AC1R) and the case: upper bout on guitar and case both measure 11, lower bout 14.5, depth at neck 4, depth at lower bout 5. The 12" and 16 1/4" dimensions are erroneous.
Question:	Will my yamaha ac3r cutaway fit in this case
Answer:	I tried to put my Yamaha 12-string full-sized guitar in the case you are inquiring about and it would not fit. The guitar is longer than the case. My Yamaha classical guitar is a smaller size guitar and it fits perfectly in the case. Your ac3r is probably too big to fit in this case.
Question:	Does this case fit the Yamaha fsx800c
Answer:	Yes, I have a FSX820C which is the same size as the FSX800C with the exception being the sides and back on mine is mahogany instead of nato.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where are these guitars manufactured? This information is critical and is missing from the product information as far as I can see
Answer:	This guitar comes from Yamaha's factory in China.
Question:	Is this neck fat? i have a jasmine s35 acoustic guitar, natural but the neck is too damn thin. i wanna make sure this has a fat neck before i spend
Answer:	Generally Classical guitars are going to have a fat neck as it is the nature of the instrument. They are usually between 1 7/8 and 2" wide.
Question:	Is this a full-size or half-size guitar
Answer:	The 102 is a half size guitar. Ron
Question:	Is it better to get the acoustic electric version
Answer:	For a budget guitar you would be fine with this one. Yes it is better to play first if possible. Most serious classical guitarists dont play acoustic electrics. There are things you can do to help this guitar out like replacing the stock saddle to one that is a little taller (made of bone) and replacing the stock strings. This will help with both the volume and tone and is a very cheap modification. Yamaha generally makes good production guitars and has good quality control. Unless you are buying a 3000 dollar guitar i think you will be fine buying online from a well known brand. If you plan on learning classical get the regular non acoustic version. Classical guitar is all about making the guitar produce the tone you want which is not accomplished in any way with electronics. If you dont like it you can always return it. Ive owned both high and low end instruments and have been very happy with mine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have a curved or flat fretboard
Answer:	Mine has a beautiful radiused (curved) rosewood fretboard that plays like a dream. I own 9 acoustic guitars, including a couple of Martins and Taylors, and my APX T2 is the best-playing guitar I own right now. The neck is smooth, fast, and very responsive to the even most gentle caress. I can actually do things with it that I can't really do on my others, or at least not as good. It feels like it was custom-made just for my hands. Keep in mind that I take really good care of my guitars. because they keep the rent paid and the lights on. I clean the fretboard every time I change strings, with a moisturizing cleaner (Murphy's Oil Soap), and do a quick-polish on the frets. If you exercise less meticulous care, your mileage may vary. However, I believe that with even modest care, anyone would be happy with the neck on this great little axe. I can't say it enough...this guitar is a winner!
Question:	does this product come with steal strings
Answer:	You shouldn't steal things. Especially guitar strings. It.s bad luck. They will snap and put your eye out.
Question:	Just ordered an APXT2 and want to order a hardshell case. I can't seem to find the demensions. Could someone post the length & width please
Answer:	Most who buy this guitar that want a hard-shell case elect to go with the SKB 300 Baby Taylor/Baby Martin case which fits this guitar perfectly. You can order one through Walmart for $79.
Question:	Does this guitar come with nylon strings or steel strings
Answer:	This one comes with steel strings, But we do have models with nylon , Fuller's Guitar 713-880-2188

As an electric guitarist in the '80s, if you wanted to play acoustic on stage there were few options available.

The latest APX600 features a unique under-saddle piezo pickup, the Yamaha proprietary SRT transducer featured in the highly-acclaimed a series range, a natural tone and the feedback rejection and mix-friendly sound guitarists crave. Although its style has evolved, the essence of the APX remains the same.

Question:	Does Amazon have a package deal that includes a case with the white "600" model
Answer:	I did not see a package offer when I was buying mine.
Question:	how thick is the width? and is this "real" wood or particle board
Answer:	The width is the same as my cell phone. The wood is solid of course. The top sides and back may be laminate but by no means is it some cheap "particle board".. Remember the cost is budget friendly and the materials are too. But Yamaha has a very nice sounding and playing guitar here for a very reasonable price. In my 40 years of playing is it the best..no..is it a great guitar for the price...Absolutely!
Question:	What is a good gig bag for this
Answer:	I bought the hard case for it and it fits perfect. Case has a small cubby for strings, picks, strap. Can't help you with a soft gig bag. Yamaha AG2-HC Hardshell Acoustic Guitar Case for APX and NTX Series https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D53JG5I/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_jzHYy5wurOYGp
Question:	how wide is the body in inches? my rogue rd80 (dread) is 16" wide and i hate it, im looking for something smaller than
Answer:	This guitar is 42.2 x 5 x 19.7 inches. It doesn't seem like a child's guitar at all. I'm quite small and it's very comfortable. If the specs are not on the Amazon page where it is sold, it should not be trusted. I bought the 400 when it came out and the 600 when the 500 was no longer available. If size is important, I would try one at a guitar or music store.

Question:	since it's tuned up 5 half steps from a regular guitar, does it need special strings to take the extra tension
Answer:	No special strings are needed. 17 inch scale length makes the tension feel like regular tension strings on a nylon strung guitar.
Question:	is the neck as wide as a martin, like a D-28 or fender strat or mostly for kids
Answer:	Realize, this is Uk. Not guitar. Difference is it's somewhat tuned/stringed like guitar but in 5th frt position. Neck is narrow, as in Ukulele. Adults play ukulele too but don't expect to be like guitar, ie. Martin or Strat.

User questions & answers

Question:	On the NW (classical), can you tell me if the bridge saddle is perfectly 90 degrees to the fretboard/parallel with the nut? Or is it slightly angled
Answer:	It’s 100% parallel to the nut on mine but I never noticed any intonation issues. My other classical guitars have very slight (and unadjustable) angles, so the manufacturer is just guessing about the difference in gauge between strings anyway.
Question:	does it include a headphone
Answer:	Headphones, no. It includes ear buds.
Question:	Does this one include the gig bag
Answer:	Yes, this includes the gig bag
Question:	Does it comes with the gigbag
Answer:	Yes. It's a special compact bag for that guitar. The upper part of the guitar are detachable, so in the bag this part and the guitar are stored separately. As the result the bag is more compact comparing with the regular bag for a classical guitar. The quality of the bag is Ok - it is made from hard nylon, but it's thinner than the regular bag, so I guess it's not very protective. Works ok for me to store the guitar at home.

Yamaha SLG Silent Guitars

The SLG is the perfect instrument for practice, travel or stage use – any time an acoustic guitar just won’t do. Near-silent performance makes discrete practice simple, Yamaha’s exclusive SRT-Powered pickup system gives incredibly natural acoustic tone through headphones or line-out, studio-quality on-board effects enhance your playing to perfection, line-in functionality makes jamming easy. Coupled with unique, striking looks and a rosewood and maple framed full-size collapsible body SLG lets you play whenever and wherever inspiration hits.

SRT Powered Technology

SRT Powered is a new system designed to recreate the body resonance of an acoustic guitar in a bodiless guitar. Yamaha developed SRT Powered, collaborating with recording artists to create a system tailored to the unique properties of the new SLG body and modeled after the tones of a high-end Yamaha acoustic guitar captured using a carefully selected microphone in a professional recording studio environment.

By actually reproducing the sound of an acoustic guitar—right down to its natural sustain and decay—Yamaha lets guitarists experience the genuine body resonance and tone of an acoustic guitar, while avoiding the need for a microphone when recording. SRT Powered sound can even be mixed with the sound from the instrument's piezo pickups, allowing guitarists to be even more flexible in their creative endeavors.

Playability

The slim body of the SLG gives these instruments superb playability, and allows players to switch to playing an electric guitar without any discomfort should the need arise.

Portability

The detachable top section of SLG’s frame provides practicality and portability beyond that of a conventional guitar. The luxury gigbag provided can be carried with ease and fits into an aircraft overhead compartment with room to spare.

Design

The distinctive SLG design is the result of a collaborative effort between the project team and the Yamaha Design Laboratory, and combines traditional guitar lines with an innovative new form unlike that of any guitar before it.

Silence

The bodiless design of the SLG offers a natural, quiet sound that allows guitarists to play without disturbing others, whether practicing late at night or playing in the living room when the family is home. Th SLG200S is 80% quieter than an acoustic guitar.
