Is the action low on this guitar?

Seems just right, and it has a really good sound to practice without the amp

If I recall, Clapton plays with high action (like SRV) so I will base my answer on that assumption. The Number therefore is 4. My Entourage has not be adjusted in any way from the factory though I have changed the strings to a lighter gauge. At present, the strings are at a distance of 3mm from the top of the 12th fret to the string itself. Compared to some older guitars I have owned, I would say this one has a pretty light action. Since it has a bolt-on neck, future adjustments to neck angle can be more easily made to compensate for the eventual "bellying" of the top. There is also some "meat" on the saddle so it could be lowered more if that were necessary.

It could be feedback. You could try turning your amp opposite of the guitar. You could also turn amp down and adjust volume levels with the knobs on the guitar. Sometimes it's trial and effort. If it does not work, seek a music professional.

I practice with it all the time in Acoustic mode. It is very quiet compared to a normal Acoustic Guitar. In fact the other day I picked up a normal Acoustic and was blow away by how loud it was because I'm so used to this traveler guitar. But, I still love this guitar. I don't mind that it's quiet. It's great to practice when other people in house are sleeping. (not sure about jack for headsets, I never use it that way.)

Yes. The guitar we received has low action and light strings. Easy on the fingers. Very happy with it.

I think your talking about the guitar tuner. The tuner did not work for me though. on the good side this is a good guitar.

The comfortable action is somewhat a personal choice of the player. Moreover, even two guitars with the same model numbers might have a different feel. To my experience Yamaha guitars are quite consistent, and out of the factory they are adjusted with an optimum action for most players. Having bought two of these models myself for my students, I think the action is just right. If the action feels too high on the guitar you have, there might be a defect, the neck might be bent due to extreme weather conditions, or if the guitar is not brand new the saddle might have been replaced...

It sound just like a normal Spanish guitar,probably not quite as loud but enough to gig with. The sound is bright like a flamenco guitar. The shallow body does not reduce the sound that much.

I have a 5-string dropped 1-1/2 steps (so lowest string is G#) and it has no problems with this extreme lows.

Awwww... That would be a string issue... Probably not a guitar issue. Most people who buy this guitar change out the strings for a better sound. Cheap fix, a coupla bucks.

Probably typical for a solid body electric. Definitely much thinner than my Gibson J-50 acoustic. It should be okay for small hands.

The "Action" - height of strings - towards the scroll or headstock, is pretty low. I did not have an issue playing the notes in the first four positions with my fingers... With that said, I mainly play guitar, so I'm used to playing a higher action... It was pretty easy to press all the strings down, and to get a good sound. I don't have the equipment to measure an exact string height for each of the strings, but I was pleased with what I pulled out of the case, if I had to guess - the string height towards the scroll might be equivalent to placing 2 playing cards in between the string and the fret board or neck... Hope this helps. The "Action" - height of strings - towards the scroll or headstock, is pretty low. I did not have an issue playing the notes in the first four positions with my fingers...

Personally I have only been taking lessons for 8 months now. I heard about this guitar from a friend of mine who has been playing for years and was in a band. He raved about this guitar which made me try it. I have had mine since May and I love it. I am really surprised how good it sounds and looks. It is a full size guitar however for an acoustic it is on the thin side. I did take this guitar to my local guitar shop and had them lower the action which made it so much better for my taste. It sounds good through an amp but I am guessing that is more of an opinion. There are no obvious problems with it. Hope this helps. Personally I have only been taking lessons for 8 months now.

You might need to lower the strings. If too high, one or some might not be exact when holding down all.

If you know a Luthier they can lower the action on any guitar. If you have a Guitar Center close by they can lower the action for you. I happen to know a Luthier in my neighborhood and he has taken care of all my guitars. I hope this helps.

There is a very slight difference with my regular guitar. Less than 1 mm. I can't tell the difference when I'm playing it. Probably also true between guitars of different makes, etc. If it bothers you, it's easy enough to have a new nut made, or make it yourself.

In my opinion it is a shoddy-built guitar with a famous name. The shoddiness is in the neck to body sturdiness - terrible sound as a result. Almost impossible to keep tuned. Yes, the name does mislead you.
