initially i I was after a 315, I’m a scrawny woman but the sound wasn’t what I wanted. This has more mid tones.
Pleasing tone is a very subjective thing to the individual's ear. Have to go with that. Fortunately I'm the opposite, I prefer bright and warm tones, so the smaller body of the Concerts is pretty much a perfect fit for me, metaphorically and literally.
she sounds slightly out of tune when fretting strings, whilst the open string seems tuned right.
[br]That's part of the imperfect nature of guitar, but can also be an intonation issue. Look to neck relief adjustment for starters, although if you bought locally recently, that should have already been adjusted for Townsville's climate. Saddle controls intonation, but a proprietary saddle fitted by Yamaha to that instrument should be specifically moulded intonated for that model guitar.
the inbuilt tuner isn’t that crash hot so I’ll get a clip on korg.
I have a Yamaha APX600 with a System 65 preamp. I tune mine with its onboard tuner although I also have D'Addario Sound Hole, Headstock, Korg instrument cable and aural external and a pedal tuner to cross reference by which I did when I initial bought it. The integral Yamaha tuner seems to tune to 440Hz in common with them and to my ear.
Highly recommend Blackstar's Fly 3 single or their BT version if you want that feature. Inexpensive versatile, and even the single at 3W puts out surprising volume level and quality of sound for what it is. And bonus, it has a dedicated adjustable Chorus feature, arguably the most necessary effect wanted for acoustic playing. Although I have the Fly 3 combo and PSU, I find myself using mine as a single standalone unit on batteries all the time because of the convenience of its portability, fit anywhere form factor, battery independence, ease and adequacy in home use.
