Yamaha Etude C40 III 4/4

Bought this guitar as a guitar to take on holidays as I didn’t want to risk my Taylor getting damaged in flight. This guitar is an absolute bargain,cheap classical guitars I have tried have always been very difficult to play but this Yamaha plays like a guitar costing much more.I have no hesitation in recommending it

In a seriously crowded market, does the C40II stand out as the top choice for beginners? Here’s our verdict

Good for its price but the volume dips when playing the higher frets, may be an action problem

A very beginner-friendly guitar with a lovely tone

My daughter wanted to learn how to play the guitar - so after a few friends' recommendations, I went for a classic Yamaha guitar. This guitar is a no-brainer for price for value: it's hard to find such a quality in sound and finish for this price! PMT offered an amazing service - the guitar was delivered before Christmas! Everyone's happy :-)
