yamahas are fine when your starting out, I owned FG 140 when I really wanted an FG 180 then bought what was top of the range FG 300 for £79, that was 1970 ish, did great till 1988, but once I wondered into Martin D28 and Chris Crosses realised I'ld been missing out, now into Brook.
Once you move up a class or two!! you realise why the Yamahas are at the economical end of the market and I'm not convinced they are for the officianadoes, dodos yes.

Sadly the pocket may dictate, but play lots before you buy any, listen for the sound and playability, be prepared to compare one with the other.

Sometimes the thumb pick may influence the sound, have progressed onto Fred Kelly Speed picks from all sorts of others over 40 years.

If your very successful you tend to stand still and are happy with what you do. this goes for the top drawers in the U K.!!!
