Did you read UGBs post on guitar types and their function. What you are looking at is a dreadnought. Meant for stand up. Loud, a strummer chording guitar.It has a strong punchy bass,is that what you are after? Not gonna be to comfortable in your lap sitting. It is being sold as a package on eBay. That is usually a signal that a guitar is extremely low end and should be approached with caution. I only found one review of it. The guy gave it a 5 out of ten just because the action was low enough to be playable and that's the best he could say about it. I would suggest strongly that you do a search for UGBs posts. He sells first time buyers guitars for a living and knows the best guitars for the least money. I would pass on that Yami or at least wait till you look at other posabilities. You might want to ask UGB directly in a post. The way you do that is just say his name in your thread title. Some guitar buying advice UGB or something like that. First read UGBs post on guitar types. When you have a clearer idea what you want and how much you can spend then we can give you some suggestions.
