Value For Money : Excellent
Nothing to add. This is a classic entry + from Yamaha. The solid and well designed and built for the price.

Those who are not used, however, may be hampered by the action a little high in the upper sleeve (so to the high) and lack of pellet mark it beyond the fifth box (you can toujorus stick labels :-)).
Set the action of a classic requires change or file the bridge. Let a pro (the one you sold it).

UTILIZATION

I chose according to some simple criteria. First the price (200 euros max). Then a good balance between a pleasant sound and a handle for use by small hands of my girlfriend used to her Takamine (she starts bossa therefore wanted a rope nylon).
I tried a few models and I had held that the Cort AC 15 (but the sound was somewhat muffled, less accurate) and this one.

In my criteria is what I found most of Pigalle.

SOUNDS

I made the classic long ago. Study with a guitar that was not equal to it (generally the entry-level Asian now fully explode those 80 years ... I've noticed that in Cort and Ibanez).
For the pure classical (ah Fernando Sor studies), it is correct. At the same time I did not nail, and I believe that the flaws that I could come see me any more than it :-)
For rythmiqes bossa, ibid. It is not pure magic but it's more than adequate for the price.
By strumming the plectrum (yes .. what we re not) ... it has a very good sound projection. I checked the solo mediator (jazzy kind) ... the volume is very nice (it's rare on a traditional entry-level).
Hence it is evident that it's a rather warm and pleasant for the price range.
What I would say that it has a great balance of sound that does not denature style. Now it is a guitar master key to a budget. A beginner can afford it will not regret it.

OVERALL OPINION

Most: comfort (except the action for those who are high gene), the frequency balance, the overall finish (except for mechanical buttons plastoc but it ...)
Cons: Even I do not know what the strings are by default but it is shit. A change you can (the seller was aware that tellemnt gave me the game).

Quality / price ratio excellent.
There are many studies on guitars correct to 60 euros or less, but for a beginner who wants to keep its traditional first few years, it is ideal. In the context: the first classic comfort + price + + sound balance, I put 8.
