I bought this guitar mainly to practice while living in a shared flat with other people in order to not bother everyone. (I have a Conservatory degree in classical guitar)
The instrument must not be confused for an electrified "classical" guitar. Although the diapason and dimensions of the fretboard are from standard classical models, the sound is compressed and relatively heavy on the low frequencies. You will not experience the same dynamic range and richness of sound and colors that you have from a custom made classical guitar.
Having said that, it is a great instrument to practice in near silence or experiment with pop / jazzy styles. The tuning is stable and the neck is perfectly set up as for all cheap Yamaha classicals. Everything from neck, fretboard and hardware seems to be inherited from the cheap classical range.
The sound is fairly malleable thanks to the variable blend between microphone and saddle pickup, choosing the right settings it really mimics the one of a classical guitar (recorded).
Of course, it is very light and compact, you will have to remove one of the two sides to put it in the gig bag, which is very very handy and small
