Yamaha F310 Jumbo

Pros: Amazing value at an affordable price
Cons: Deadly in the hands of the untalented

Back in high school, girls paid attention to you if you were either: a.) devilishly handsome, sported one of those leather and felt "letter" jackets, and drove anything convertible or b.) sinister, wore dark glasses, ragged jeans and a ...

Pros: Cheap, not bad sounding, durable.
Cons: Terrible bright sound, fret buzz.

I don't know how many times I've dropped this guitar. I don't take care of it at all. It's starting to show. There are numerous chips around the head, and a sizeable crack in the body. But almost anyone will take better care of this guitar than I did. ...

Pros: of notable quality, especially for a beginner's guitar, and offered at a fairly cheap price
Cons: it is as basic a guitar as one would buy

The Yamaha F310 is an excellent guitar for amateur guitar players or those newly exposed to the world of stringed instruments. In scores of stores I have found this particular model for under $200 also stocked with a handful of other "guitar goodies"...

Pros: Exceptional high quality for the price.
Cons: None that come to mind.

As I approach my 40th birthday, I've decided to take up the guitar. I have absolutely no experience with the guitar or any other musical instrument, so what I was looking for was something simple and basic but of good quality. I spent several months...

Pros: relatively easy to play, good sound for the price
Cons: nothing that I can think of

When I got my F310 about 3 years ago I had been playing my brothers acoustic over the previous summer, just enough to get hooked. So it was mostly luck that I ended up with such a great guitar for a beginner.

When I ventured cautiously into...

Pros: Price, Loud, clear, stays in tune, tuning is easy and easy to play.
Cons: Dents and chips easily.

This guitar isn't as bad as people may say it is. For a Yamaha, it has such a deep rich, great, and loud sound. I have the Acoustic Electric model, but I'll discuss the acoustic aspects. The stringing is fairly easy and it stays in tune pretty well. ...

Pros: Bright tone with good sustain. Nice neck. Very attractive.
Cons: Poor craftsmanship, absurd set-up and poor quality materials.

It fell apart! The top layer of the laminated front separated from the under layers, and the bridge fell off. This under normal string tension with the factory strings. This is totally unacceptable for a guitar in any price range. Let's be fair. For ...

Pros: It looks sexy.
Cons: It doesn't make you look sexy enough.

I was given this guitar (I named her Siobhan) as a birthday gift, as my other two wishes, $1 million dollars and a mountain bike, where not available at the time. I've been playing since March 2005, and I'm a total beginner. My sister bought me this ...

Pros: Great sound, and very beautiful guitar for not a lot of money
Cons: The capo and tuner are jokes - and the edges chip very easily.

After being inspired by a campfire singing evening (yes, cheesy, perhaps even corny - but so fitting...) I decided I had to learn to play the guitar. I searched online reviews of many "beginner" models - not limiting myself to this type, however. An ...

Pros: Good, Bright Sound
Cons: It broke once

How is it? It’s a nice low risk guitar that you can keep around awhile with decent sound while you learn to play and decide how serious you are going to be.

Well everyone wants to know how to play guitar, and why not? The question is what to...

Pros: Great starter guitar, holds it's tune nicely. Nice sound.
Cons: Not solid wood

I received the Yamaha 310 package two years ago at Christmas with the intent to start playing guitar. I fell in love with playing guitar and I loved my new friend...the F310. However now that I have been playing guitar for almost two years now, I'm ready...

Pros: great beginner, strong midrange
Cons: fat neck, frets wear fast, laminated woods

The first guitar I bought and a great model for starting guitarists. Especially as people today tend to lean to Baby Taylors, Larrivee Parlors, etc. for starting guitars, I find that the Yamaha F series is still a good choice.

The first...

Pros: Excellent intonation and quality control, beautifully finished.
Cons: Plastic strap button needs to be replaced.

I am a 30 year veteran musician. I started out on guitar, the n switched to bass. Then, after a full 20 year career as a professional bass player, I got a job in the computer industry. Now I'm back doing a solo act and I needed an acoustic. My brother ...

Pros: good feel for price
Cons: frets could be smoother

This baby is my first guitar and I am glad it is. The F310 is a great starter for any beginners who love strumming and it'll last you longer than your "beginner years ". Generally great from all aspects.
Firstly the sound is richer and fuller in...

Pros: Great sound and feel
Cons: same old acoustic look

This guitar was the cheapest guitar in the store I visited. I think the store got ripped off, this guitar is worth more than the $200 I paid for it . The dealer said the sound wouldn't get any better well it is! the fret board is easy to move your...
