Yamaha FG700S Brown Sunburst including FGBAG

General

Whether you're an aspiring singer-songwriter looking for your first guitar, or a more seasoned musician, the Yamaha FG700S is well worth your consideration. The model is part of a long tradition of acoustic folk guitars. Its large dreadnought body is easy to play and produces a remarkably rich, balanced tone that's quite rare for a guitar in this price range. The FG700S partly owes its fantastic sound to its solid sitka spruce top, which guarantees great warmth and crystal-clear trebles.

Yamaha FG700S: cut from the right wood

With the FG700S, Yamaha has issued an honest, reliable instrument. In addition to a high-grade sitka spruce solid top, the guitar features a body made of nato. This eastern wood type is similar to mahogany and produces a sultry yet defined tone that nicely complements the spruce's clarity. The acoustic steel-string guitar's nato neck is fitted with a 20-fret rosewood fretboard, and its headstock features sealed, self-lubricating machine heads. This guitar was literally cut from the right wood!

Yamaha's renowned, top-notch finish

Yamaha is known for its outstanding finishes, and you'll definitely notice that with this steel-string guitar. The FG700S's body and neck have an ultra-thin lacquer finish that enhances the instrument's rich, natural sound, while the back of the neck features a silky soft matte finish that ensures good, smooth grip. The guitar's body is finished with a sleek high-gloss lacquer for a radiant, chic look. Final touches are provided by a tasteful, multi-layer binding along the body and sound hole, a red tortoise pickguard, and a mother-of-pearl logo and decoration on the headstock.
