I received this guitar today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia after shipping from Thomann in Germany. The quality of this guitar is absolutely exceptional. I was expecting to have to set it up, but the intonation and action are fantastic. The neck is satin finished and is a dream to play. I have had, and still do have, some of the top guitars on the planet, including top end Lowdens, Custom Shop Martins, Custom Shop Gibson, Taylor K24ce, Felipe Conde flamenco guitar etc. The sound quality of this Yamaha is fantastic and compares favorably with instruments 5-6 times the price. I bought this because of the many good reviews I have seen and read - all of which are not glowing enough in my opinion. The transonic aspect just adds that extra level of cool to an already great instrument. Seriously considering using this as my main guitar, getting a few more Yamahas and selling off my expensive collection. By the way - I must repeat - the intonation on this guitar is absolutely top-drawer…
