a cool guitar and not too expensive. Seems to up the fun value!

I am surprised. I play my Martin d-35 and my mini fender in the same session!..the Fender play so well that I did the video only because of its cost and ability... I'm hoping you only got the one that was bad out of the bunch. If you have a chance pick another one up some place and see if it plays the same. I've played a few and they all done very well. I've had people laugh at me when I take it out of the bag but once I get playing there impressed of the guitar..Sorry for your experience!!

It plays very good, like I said, but it is tinny sounding and it really struggles to stay in tune. I realize small guitars typically have some troubles staying in tune, but I have played others that are not as challenged...This particular model is the FA-15. Not bad at all for a beginner. Heck I even play it sometimes at home.

Taylor baby solid top-is a $369 cutie. Yamaha is as well- solid-just $150....

Hello, it is a steel string. And the transition from this to a full size guitar is pretty much only the body size because I felt the board itself was close to a regular size board. I did sit at my local Guitar Center and went through all the ones they had their! maybe 7. I didn't actually remember the names .it was more of a blind audition as I went through each one of them. This particular guitar I bought online because my Guitar Center didn't have it. This guitar I tried out because a friend of mine's child was playing hers and I loved it. Dont think that I won't try the two models you mentioned earlier because I will. Mainly because I can't help myself. Right on!

Gear Geeks thank you for the speedy reply!

Hi...not that particular Yamaha 3/4,but I did try a few of alot..lol..Yamaha is very rarely a bad purchase,though do get better as the price increases!

I say yes, even though it's a 3/4 size guitar. Mainly because the actual fretboard is really close to a normal size fretboard and will not give you Bad fingering habits. Meaning when you go to a full size guitar you're fingering won't be off from this size of smaller guitar. you will be fine! This was the biggest factor when I purchased this guitar.

Gear Geeks thank you so much! Love the swift reply, I’m buying it this Black Friday!!

@@tkb5119 Yamaha is very consistent with building. Enjoy !

@@geargeeks8955 is it JR2S or JR2? jr2s has solid spruce top

The jr2.solid top,the sides are a ? Type mahogany..real fretboard

The first rhythm is original from a song My Band does. The second rhythm is classical. It is the Ozzy Osbourne Diary of a Madman song

Wow this actually happened to me too, I bought F310 a few months ago and I realized that it’s quite big for me so I decided to buy JR2

​@dimasthoriq5645 how is it

Out of the box? No mods

Hi,At 1:40 I was playing a band original. I try to play my own song's during demonstrations for my silly fun

Gear Geeks ohh! you’re amazing

Mmmm. Well thank you!.dont get much feedback!.hope the video is/waa somewhat Helpful 😁

Gear Geeks yes it was I love the guitar 😊

Yamaha JR2 - all laminate, Yamaha JR2S - top solid.

Joe Ninja Master absolutely positively one of the best guitars I've ever bought no problems great action

Gear Geeks Awesome! Thanks for the reply :D

I have this guitar.....I dont care what its "worth". Don't care how much i paid for it....dont care it's not a SOLID top...I LOVE this guitar!!!!!

The solid top wood really makes a difference. This guitar sounds great!

It is very very close to normal size.That and its sound was why I bought!

@@geargeeks8955 buying this one right away! Thanks for the info!

@@dmrsk1899 if you feel up to it! give me a shout out let me know what you think !

Ended up getting JR1. It sounds great, and I have no problem so far. However, the size of the body is probably like 2.5/4 instead of 3/4😅 but I have no problem with the fretboard length.

@@dmrsk1899 right on!You enjoy, glad it worked out for you

I just checked,flat.capo just now. because of that, i'm now playing and forgot to eat.now its late. Time flies. I get sucked innnnnnnnn.....

@@geargeeks8955 Thank you so much for your reply! I assumed that it's flat but i wasn't 100% sure. I'm thinking about buying the Dunlop Victor capo and D'Addario MC Micro tuner, any thoughts on the capo? I saw Chris Cornell (R.I.P) use it and looked it up and it seems like a really good capo and at a good price. PS: I'm sorry you missed your meal but that's the curse of the Yamaha JR2! You should know better ;)

@@rayana4250 These days most brands work great. The problem would be in the past some would scratch or just not work.Most of all there cheap !

​@@geargeeks8955 Hi, I got a flat capo based on your recommendation, but I think a curved capo would have been better. the capo I got is Victor by Dunlop and when I put the capo on and start to tighten it with the screw, it "capos" the middle strings but the high and low E string buzz, so I need to screw it tighter and when I do that it sharps the middle strings, I don't think the same thing will happen with a curved capo. But thanks for the recommendation nonetheless!

@@rayana4250 that sucks...I just used in mine!..no problems...damm

Mine was $169

current price in Australia

Gear Geeks and what is its size? In inch

James Evans true, but Taylor mini is 4 time the price of the Yamaha ;)

@@fabrizioalessi5949yes indeed them and Martin are expensive

James Evans I got Gs mini mahogani body, is such a great guitar , I like so much that I will buy the Yamaha for travel , I prefere to leave the Taylor at home.

I have both. They sound practically the same

@@ryanrumble904 this yamaha doesnt even sound a little like the baby Taylor

This ones China !

Funny...i Review the guitar.....the sound and quality of the guitar...not of your problems with life. MUSIC not a troll
