Yamaha FG730S Solid Top Acoustic Guitar

I've had my Yamaha FG730S for about a month now and so far it's nothing less than perfect in every aspect. I bought it brand-new, out of the box the action was perfect - nice and low, but w/o any buzzing. It has a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides which is what Martin uses on their infamous D-28 dreadnought so you know its great sounding and esp. good for rhythm and heavy strumming. I wasn't too fond of the factory strings, so I put some Martin Phosphor-bronze Med. gauges on there and it really made it sound better IMO. I also installed a LR Baggs M1 active Humbucking sound-hole p'up and it works great! I have been playing for about 3 yrs now and I started out w/ an Electric cheap strat-copy and then eventually moved up to a Epi Les Paul. I didn't have an acoustic. I wasn't really into the whole acoustic scene. But about a yr. ago, I had the chance to see Doyle Dykes preform at my church w/ his Taylor model and from that moment on I knew I needed an acoustic guitar. Its my first and probably last acoustic for a long time. Overall this is a great guitar I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a good guitar at a GREAT PRICE!!!

I can't add much more than what others have said. It's just a very nice guitar, especially for the price. It looks and sounds great, and is very well constructed.I played several others in it's price range and the overall package of price, performance, appearance, and craftsmanship just stood out on this guitar.

I bought the tobacco sunburst, and the guitar is absolutely beautiful. I am a beginner player, but this one will last me forever. THe sound is great. The fret action is just right. The craftsmanship is superb. Not a flaw inside or out. If you only want to spend $300 for a guitar, the FG730 has the quality of a guitar 2x as much. I looked at all price points above and below, and the Yamaha FG730 sounded and looked the best of any.

After playing about 100 different guitars including gibsons, martins, and everything else, nothing compared with the sound of the fg730s. It has a crisp, clean sound from the low E to the highest note you can play. Its as loud as you want it to be too with no buzzing. Looks great too.

Awesome Guitar at an awesome price!Warm, low string action, full, warm but bright acoustic sound. Great for picking or strumming. Installed a new Dean Markley tahoe through the soundhole pick-up, which provides a warm and natural amplified sound through any decent PA or Acoustic Guitar Amp like my Genz-Benz Shenandoah Jr.One of the best made guitars for the money I've ever played. Attention to detail and no slop here anywhere!
