My days of playing the guitar started in 1964. My first acoustic guitar that I purchased was a Martin D-40 series. Over the years I have added to my collection of acoustics and dobros. Out of the box and tuned this acoustic performed like a high dollar acoustic. By upgrading the strings it brought new life into this fine Yamaha acoustic guitar.It has a deep sweet tone and excellent resonance. This guitar is worth three times more then the selling price. With age the Spruce top will mature and sound deeper making the tone deep and consistant. From the novice to the professional you will enjoy playing this sweet Classical acoustic guitar.

This guitar is very well made and looks great. It has a very nice sound and is easy to play. This would make anyone a great beginner guitar.

For as inexpensive as this guitar is, it's a beautiful instrument. I got it because my very first guitar, when I was 14, was a Yamaha c40a. This guitar plays beautifully and resonates better than any more expensive guitar I've owned. It took me a little while to acclimate to the wide neck again, but now that I have it makes it so much easier to practice scales and arpeggios. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone starting out or even to someone that's been playing for a while.

I decided to take up the guitar and started looking for an instrument to buy. I soon became aware that I did not know how to choose a good instrument. I was lucky to find help from a friend who is an accomplished musician and expert guitar player. We went out looking for instruments and he tried many instruments at various places. Finally we found a pawn shop near Lake Worth, FL. Where he played at least 8 instruments until I found this case in a corner. It contained a used Yamaha C40. When he picked it up and started to tune it and play it, he smiled and said "this is the one". I picked it up for $50 including tax.... After a new set of strings this guitar sounds very nice. The sound is strong and clear, the action is perfect and the finish is quite good, especially for a used guitar. I see now that it sells new for less than $150, this is a great instrument for twice that price. My friend assured me that the guitar we found was quite a fine instrument and compares well with guitars costing much more. My Yamaha C40 is a great instrument so I would say there is a good chance that these are all well made, good instruments. Of course, every guitar is different so try it before you buy it.
