Yamaha FG730S Acoustic Guitar
At first sight the FG730S is an extremely attractive and beautifully finished acoustic guitar. The review model has a vanilla blonde Sitka spruce top whilst the Sycamore sides and rear have a strong vertical Tiger-stripe graining that contrasts perfectly with the spruce top.
The actual guitar neck is slim enough so that electric guitarists who have become accustomed to the slimmer style of neck can quickly adapt and it allows for fast fingering and soloing. The machine heads are smooth and accurate and the guitar generally benefits from the recently developed build technology that Yamaha have adopted on their DW range which includes the “L” shaped neck block.
The FG730S is available in a variety of finishes and has a delicate pin-striped black and cream binding around the edge of the body.
