Seller didn't respond to inquiry about stringing for left-handed players but purchased anyway and restrung it. Plays nice. See photos for more info (had to edit my review in order to be allowed to post). Review: Great Sound and Comfort, but Some Drawbacks - I recently purchased this guitar and overall, I'm quite pleased with its performance. The sound quality is exceptional, and its lightweight design makes it easy to play for extended periods. Holding it is a breeze, contributing to an enjoyable playing experience. However, it's important to note a couple of drawbacks. Firstly, the absence of fret markers for 3-5-9 positions can be a bit inconvenient, especially for beginners. Additionally, while the overall string quality is decent, there's room for improvement as I've encountered some issues with their longevity. Despite these minor drawbacks, the guitar's positive attributes make it a solid choice for players who prioritize sound quality and comfort. ## Features - Designed for Beginners, with an Eye and Ear Toward Quality and Affordability - Spruce Top, Nato Neck - Indonesian Mahogany Back and Sides - Javanese Rosewood Fingerboard - Melamine Gloss Finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004UE2D | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Back material type | Mahogany | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Body material | Mahogany | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Tan | | Colour | Tan | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 424 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00086792273754 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | H | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | not included | | Instrument | Guitar | | Instrument Size | Full Size | | Item Dimensions | 109.2 x 15.2 x 53.3 centimeters | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 109.2L x 15.2W x 53.3H centimeters | | Manufacturer | Yamaha Corporation of America | | Manufacturer Part Number | C40R | | Material Type | Spruce and Mahogany (Body), Nato (Neck) | | Model Name | C40R | | Model Number | C40R | | Model Series | C40 | | Neck Material Type | Ovangkol, Tillo, Nato | | Neck material type | Ovangkol, Tillo, Nato | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 25.5 | | String Material Type | Nylon | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | Top material type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 086792273754 086792828213 | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Mahogany - **Body material:** Mahogany - **Brand:** Yamaha - **Colour:** Tan - **Top material type:** Spruce Wood ## Images ![Yamaha C40 Full Size Nylon-String Classical Guitar, Tan, Full - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zIszX+2YL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the guitar have an endblock i can drill a strap peg into?** A: not that I can see. **Q: Does this come with a gig bag?** A: Nope **Q: Is this a standard sized guitar or is it considered a mid sized guitar?** A: It is a standard size guitar.
