I agree with Jon here. I'm a Yamaha 842 owner myself, but I have a student who just bought a 451. I was skeptical when our local music store called and said they had one, but I went and tested it out for a few hours and was really pleased with the sound, intonation, and overall feel, plus it didn't have any of the dreaded intonation problems that Willsons are plagued with. The only thing I didn't like about it is that I couldn't really move notes around (bending) like I can on my 842. However, my student loves it and is improving daily. Just my 2 cents.
