    From the manufacturer

    The Best-Selling Acoustic Guitar of All Time

    Yamaha FS Series

    Choice woods, the finest craftsmanship and a smaller folk style body make the FS a popular alternative to the larger FG. Precise, smooth response and a sweet, focused tone make this a great choice for recording or fingerpicking.

    Designed with a full-sized body depth, the FS Series delivers rich low-end tone that contradicts it's size. It's short scale makes it an excellent choice for guitarists with small hands.

    Yamaha FG Series

    For over 40 years, millions of musicians have used the Yamaha FG as the perfect tool to express their music. FGs gained the respect due to their quality, dependability, playability and value.

    Since it was introduced in the 1960’s, the Yamaha FG has been recognized as simply the best acoustic guitar in its league. The FG is a perfect example of Yamaha’s unique combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern guitar-building techniques. Everything focuses on the same goal: an outstanding playing experience, and the great tone that’s made FG the choice of some of the greatest players in history. Now, the greatest players of the future are choosing it too.

    Non-Scalloped X-Bracing

    The main purpose of bracing on an acoustic guitar is to strengthen the top against the tension of the strings. By modifying the vibrations of the guitar’s top, the bracing also serves to create the guitar’s tonal signature. Yamaha’s guitars use a non-scalloped X-bracing design with each of the eight braces carefully positioned to tailor the guitar’s sound. The use of non-scalloped bracing ensures your guitar will retain its tone, response, and stability for a lifetime.

    Dovetail Neck Joint

    The joint between body and neck is essential to an acoustic guitar, not just for physical stability but also for sound. The efficient transfer of vibrations from neck to body is crucial in creating a full and balanced tone. All Yamaha acoustic guitars feature a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint. The precisely crafted joint uses no metal parts and gives the guitar the best neck-to-body contact for outstanding tone along with incredibly strength and stability.

    Hand Sprayed Thin Finish

    All Yamaha FG & FS guitars feature our signature ultra-thin finish. The perfect combination of advanced finish technology and artisan hand-spraying techniques ensures the rich, high-gloss finish on each guitar is around 0.25 millimeter thin. It provides the minimum restriction of vibrations of the wood, and a louder, fuller tone while remaining incredibly strong and resilient.

    Beginner or Pro, One Heck of Guitar the Money!
    I own a few of the Yamaha acoustic guitars, FG 730S & A3M Acoustic Electric. The FG series are an excellent guitar for a beginner all the way to a seasoned pro. Yamaha's quality control is far and above others. I play drums as my main instrument and own a set of Yamaha Recording Customs. Seems like any Yamaha instrument I have played, has played extraordinary well, and this FG 700S is no exception. Do not let the price full you. This guitar really projects the sounds, has shimmery highs and has an excellent bottom end. Sounds and feels easily like a $500+ guitar in your hands. If your in the market for a very nice starter guitar, you can not go wrong with the FG 700S. I got mine on sale for $99 and love the fact I can take it bon fires, the beach and other similar events where I wouldn't take my Martin. I get a great sound and I don't have to worry about freakin out if I damage it. For $99- I feel very comfortable with it hanging out at these types of venues. But I also use it in my studio and for writing. Like I said, once you get it in your hands, all it needs is a little truss rod adjustment, a nice set of Martin strings and this guitar gets it done! Nice satin finish on the neck makes playing this guitar a breeze.PROS:Sounds and plays like a dreamStays in tuneExcellent Value, probably the best out there right nowVery well builtSolid sitka spruce top (makes a huge difference)Great actionBeautiful FinishCONS:For me it's no problem but others may want a 3rd fret marker. This guitar does not have one.
