JR2TBS 3/4 Scale Guitar Tobacco Sunburst

It's a solid Yamaha build. It came set up, ready to tune and play.....no neck adjustment required. The finish is kind of whatever....but the tone is great for the guitar that it is. It works great in small hands, and a comfortable instrument is one you want to play. My daughter is very happy with it (9yo) and is excited to play. It would also make a great travel guitar for camping trips. The gig bag is a wonderful bonus that doesn't feel like the cheap standard china-made garbage you might otherwise get. All-in-all its a great starting point for an aspiring young player. The frets were smooth, there is no buzz, and the intonation was only a bit sharp at 12. For the money, you can't beat it.

Great beginner guitar. Child is just learning how to play. Size is right for a preteen. Sound is good. Seems to stay in tune. That said it is good enough to grow with the child over time. So not a junky toy but a real instrument.

I bought this for my 8 year old grandson as his first guitar. It sounds great and is very playable. Incredible value. Make sure to get the JR2 version not the JR1, for $20 more its a much better guitar and includes a better gig bag.

Love it great for traveling

This is my 6-year-old son’s first guitar. He really likes it and enjoys practicing with it. It’s a good option for a beginner and perfect as a first guitar. The quality is decent for the price. However, it would probably not be suitable for more experienced players. It’s great that it came with a case included that was a nice bonus. Overall, we are happy with this purchase.

I've always wanted to play the guitar. A few years ago I got a super cheap one for free from a friend. It was way too hard for me to play and I gave up pretty quickly. Then I got a ukulele and I actually got somewhere on it. I don't particularly like the sound of a uke, but I love the size. I'm not THAT small, but I'm 5'3" and a dreadnaught swallows me whole (or at least it feels that way). I'm used to keeping my uke by my favorite chair, which has arms and isn't a great place to play, but that's where I usually do it. So I got this 3/4 size guitar to ease my way into the guitar world. I love it. It doesn't feel like I'm trying to play a sedan... my arm fights nicely around it, and it's just comfortable. Does it sound amazing? I mean, it's a cheap guitar, but the action is low enough without getting it set up that I can actually play it. Eventually I'll get a nicer one, probably a smaller version of a full size, but for now, this one is perfect. ETA: I just got this guitar setup at Guitar Center, because the B string was sharping when fretted. It’s all fixed now and I love it even more. I definitely recommend setups if you need to lower the action or fix any intonation issues, even if you just bought the guitar, just consider it part of the price.

I have a full size solid top dreadnaught, but didn't want to take it with me to deer camp, where it would be exposed to humidity and temperature changes. Fully laminated will be more durable. Also I am not concerned with scratching, dinging or even completely destroying it, since it's a "beater". But it sounds plenty decent for those purposes. I chose Yamaha because I also own a nicer 12-string solid top Yamaha FG and have owned Yamaha electric guitars and basses before. They tend to pay good attention to fretwork and overall quality, even on budget instruments. Fit and finish is nice for the money, burst looks nice and having both strap buttons installed is unusual and a nice surprise. A guitar this size you'll probably want to play it standing up more than a full size one. I've had it for about a year. Stock strings are trash, installed a budget set of Martins and it's much better. "Vintage style" tuners seem to work so far. They look flimsier than typical full size tuners, but hopefully will hold up. Overall it holds tune. Happy with it for the money.

Purchased this guitar for our 13 year old for her birthday. She absolutely loves it, it’s fun to play, great quality, easy to tune, and the perfect size.

Good fit for my 8 year old son. I enjoy playing it as well since my hands aren’t large (wear a medium or size 7 in medical gloves). Good sound, Yamaha build quality which would be much better than the cheap stuff that comes in at less than $200

Came quickly, out of tune but easy to fix. Sounds great and my sons love to play it.

This will be a traveller and instroduction to guitar use for grandchildren. So far seems great.

Great guitar
