This is a surprisingly good guitar. The last time I tried Yamaha guitars was 40+ years ago, and wasn't impressed. This guitar impressed me a lot!The sound is exactly what I've been looking for for the last 4 years, and I kept trying other brands, and kept selling them because they didn't deliver, even after a proper set up.The guitar is lightly built (around 4 lbs, <2 kgs), resonant, and is easy to play. Fingerpicking is excellent, and it can take strumming perfectly fine, with some tasty compression from the small size.

If I'd tried the new Red Label series sooner, I would've saved a lot of time, money, and headaches.This is the best guitar I've tried against some costing > 2x as much.Best acoustic Spruce/Mahogany guitars under 1000€, imo.
