Yamaha F370DW: full-sized Dreadnought

This acoustic guitar features a full-sized Dreadnought body, which is known for its large size, slightly more angular shape and slim waist. Thanks to the large size of the body and the spruce top combined with a sapele back and sides, you can enjoy a full, warm sound with plenty of volume. As such, Dreadnought guitars are suited for a variety of genres and playing styles, from subtle finger picking to strumming with a guitar pick.

Reliable western guitar

The Yamaha F370DW features a set of rugged self-lubricating tuners for supple, stable tuning. If you inspect the string nut, you'll find that the notches for the strings have been carefully filed with extreme precision, and a compensated bridge saddle ensures that this folk guitar rings clear, time and time again. In order to keep the spruce top protected from scratches, a black pickguard has been mounted, which happens to match the rosette beautifully. In short, the Yamaha F370DW is a lot of guitar for a little money.
