Yamaha CX40 II

I bought this guitar to use it as an instrument that i can carry all the time in my car and to the beach. The overall value for money is excellent for this instrument.

The finishing of this instrument is very good, the neck is pretty comfortable (at least for my big hands). The action of the strings is a bit high for my taste, but not so high that makes the guitar too difficult to play. When played unplugged it has a mellow sound that helped me a lot with composing new songs. The built-in preamp is OK and it will do the job, but it can't capture the fullness that a normal dynamic mic would, so it sounds a bit thin and tin-like and the EQ doesn't help much to enrich the sound. It is OK for small gigs though.

For the price is definitely a good instrument that I would recommend to everyone who is seeking an affordable decent instrument for taking to the beach or outdoors.
