Pros & Cons
Pros
Guitar sounds really good ithout the effects on. Unbelievable honestly. This actually sounds as advertised.
I own a very old fg that sounds as good if not better better than any martin. I own two martin’s and a gibson all extremely expensive guitars, so that it is difficult to admit. Probably will never part with this fg-ta either.
Controls are very intuitive. The electronics are also great. Yamaha makes a big deal about how hard it is to find 9-volt.
Yamaha cg-ta nylon string. More sustain for sure, and the tone of open strings since they're now over a fret at the nut.
Cons
Product was not packaged correctly. Box was torn up at places causing damage to the guitar.
Highlights
Quality
The quality and workmanship is exactly what i would expect from yamaha and i am a longtime yamaha owner
I’ve played classical guitars for many years and am wellacquainted with the quality of sound within the instruments’ registers
And it didnt have anything to do with the effects
Try playing dust in the wind with the chorus effect on
Price
This is a great guitar and i am glad the price got cut from 1600 as 1000 seems like a just right price
Playability of the neck and fret board works well the width and profile depth of the neck are comfortable for folks who do not ... Read More
But overall ill say this to any future buyers you dont need to do all the customizing i did which cost me around 200 total
Shipping
Overall it’s a good guitar and thanks to the music zoo for a careful job shipping it
Mine had no shipping damage at all but i can easily see how it could have
Im literally shocked how fast the guitar arrived ordered the 25th arrived the 26th
Packaging/appearance
Packaging was excellent and guitar is unblemished
Ready to play right out of the box
Arrived without damage but i think the packaging could be better absolutely 0 styrofoam protection
Let me comment a bit on the specs listed on the fgta
Competitiveness
A nice playing yamaha with a builtin amplification system

I would suggest getting the dreadnought body version of this guitar because the concert body seems to like to cut blood flow in my arms since the width is smaller than a normalsized acoustic guitar
