Reviews of the Best Yamaha Acoustic Guitars!Yamaha Acoustic Guitars | Yamaha Acoustic-ElectricYamaha Acoustic Guitars are just some of the many instruments that the music division of the Yamaha Corporation has to offer. While perhaps surprising for a conglomerate to produce high quality, niche products, Yamaha’s reputation is such that their acoustic guitars are endorsed and played by a large number of well-known musicians.
The Beginning of a LegendThe world’s largest manufacturer of musical instruments began in Japan, with a businessman by the name of Torakusu Yamaha selling reed organs to Japanese consumers. Torakusu’s business acumen became an integral part of the Yamaha Company; as the business grew, the company began to set its sights even higher, adding string and wind instruments to its reed organs.
In 1960 the parent company – Yamaha Corporation, Japan, established the Yamaha Corporation of America to offer a full line of musical instruments and a number of other products to consumers in the United States. It is owned in full by Yamaha Corporation of Japan. While Yamaha Acoustic Guitars have the reputation that many professional musicians demand in an acoustic guitar, their lower-end lines are of good quality at extremely affordable prices for the beginning guitarist. Star Quality ReputationThe quality of Yamaha Acoustic Guitars is evidenced by their following of top acoustic guitar players. Names such as Avril Lavigne and singer/songwriter Edwin McCain head a list that includes artists such as Andy McKee, Clint Lowery of Sevendust, Johan Jorgensen, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Kristyn Osborne, Ben Mauro and Glenn Pearce. And that is barely scratching the surface. Different artists have their own personal Yamaha guitar model preferences, and the choice often comes down to how the guitar feels in the players’ hands.Popular ModelsPerhaps one of the best selling acoustic guitar series of all time, the Yamaha FG series has an outstanding reputation in the musical community. From the FG700S, which is considered to be an excellent choice for the beginning guitarist (and which, incidentally, retails at ~$200) to the FG750S which has a solid top and retails at $400, the FG series is a strong contender in the acoustic guitar market.The Yamaha L Series is also worth noting. The LL16, in particular, has a reputation for being an incredibly balanced instrument and is handcrafted of all Solid Woods in Japan. Priced at ~$800, this is a model for musicians to save for. Why a Yamaha?While many people would squirm at purchasing a guitar from a company with such a seemingly unrelated product line, Yamaha Acoustic Guitars are not to be sneezed at. The emphasis on quality that Torakusu Yamaha brought to his reed organs has carried over to an attention for detail in every Yamaha musical instrument. And in fact, the largeness of the company ensures that they can offer top quality instruments at a price every musician can afford.
