If you've read many of my op's you've probably figured out I'm a musical type of person, but not the type that jingles whilst walking.
For years I have enjoyed playing rhythm guitar both privately and on the road but never more so than on my Yamaha 12 String. It's a lovely full size instrument that creates amazing volume even without an amp, and by far outdoes all the other acoustics I have had or used in the past, and I have had some nice ones.
The overall design is pretty standard at first glance, but if you look a little closer, or better yet actually try one you can appreciate the really low fretting that gives a very smooth action, and in the case of my one having dreadnought fretting it's even smoother.
The head of the guitar is well shaped also, and fitted out with chrome keys that really set of the rose wood neck., And as for sound quality, it's superb. The tone when strumming or finger picking is outstanding, the resonance is in a league of it's own, and unlike many guitars on the market, it holds it's key beautifully right through all 20 frets. If you like acoustics I can't think of a better one in the same price margin, and as a final point if you want a good sounding set of strings, try some "Ernie Ball" super slinky's, they work well and match excellently.

Good op - but needs more detail.
For example - what's the tailpiece/bridge like ? How easy is it to get the string pegs out when changing strings ? What's it sound like amplified via a mic ? What woods are used in it's construction ? How does it react to changes of atmosphere/environment ?
Just a few wee interesting issues !
Cheers.
