Yamaha FG730S Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Cherry Sunburst

THE YAMAHA FG SERIES

Since it was introduced in the 1960’s, the Yamaha FG has been recognized as simply the best acoustic guitar in its league. Millions of guitarists recall the part an FG has played in their playing career. 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.

A Living Legend

Around for more than 40 years now, the FG Series offers outstanding quality with features like non-scalloped X-bracing and reverse-L neck block. Solid tops provide excellent performance and quality, delivering the clear sound characteristic of the FG series. All in all, an excellent instrument truly enjoyable to play.

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.

Thin Finish:

All Yamaha FG 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 FG models is around 0.25 mm thin. It provides the minimum restriction of vibrations of the wood, and a louder, fuller tone while remaining incredibly strong and resilient.

FG730S Features:
  • Solid Sitka Spruce Top
  • Reverse-L Neck Block
  • Non-Scalloped X-Bracing
  • Diecast Chrome Tuners
  • Rosewood Fingerboard and Bridge
  • Rosewood Back and Sides
  • White/Black Body and Neck Binding
  • Bound Headstock
Bracing Pattern:

The main purpose of bracing on an acoustic guitar is to strengthen the top against the tension of the strings. Also, by modifying the vibrations of the guitar’s top, the bracing also serves to create the guitar’s tonal signature. Yamaha’s FG guitars use a non-scalloped X-bracing design with each of the eight braces carefully positioned to tailor the guitar’s sound. They perfectly complement the tone woods used in order to create the FG’s unmistakable combination of clear and balanced tone with incredible control. The use of non-scalloped bracing ensures your FG will retain its tone, response, and stability for a lifetime of playing.

The Best Acoustic I have, December 10, 2011
By 
Grateful Dad – See all my reviews

This review is from: Yamaha FGX730SC Acoustic Electric Guitar, Natural (Electronics)
I received this guitar as a gift a few years ago and it is my favorite guitar acoustic or electric. I have been playing over 30 years and fell in love with this guitar immediately. The tone is so full and the action is perfect. I have other guitars where I’ve had to lower the action and fool around to get it to my liking. This was perfect right out of the box. I’ve had friends that own Martin and Taylor guitars play it and just smile at the full tone and playability. Every player that has tried it just stops after playing a few minutes and says “This guitar sounds great.” I play it through a Fender Acoustasonic Amp and just LOVE it. The ease of playing on the high frets is so smooth. The guitar does not fall out of tuning when playing several songs and is just a JOY to play. If you are thinking about purchasing this guitar, do so. Did I mention that I LOVE this guitar. The only down side is that I’ll find it in my son’s room from time to time and he has 2 acoustic guitars.

Scary good for the money, November 17, 2011

dbd – See all my reviews

This review is from: Yamaha FG730S Acoustic Guitar, Tobacco Brown Sunburst (Electronics)
Yes, it’s a Chinese guitar – I won’t go into the political/economic aspects of it other than to say that I struggled purchasing this for that reason. Let’s talk about the guitar on it’s merits as a musical instrument.

Tone – Beautiful traditional dreadnought tones. Not as dark or boomy as a Gibson DN, not as bright as a Taylor DN. Really nicely balanced and articulate. If you sat down in an acoustic room with a bunch of guitars, this one would certainly float to the top in this category, no matter the price.

Playability – The setup and fret job are extremely good. Maybe not quite as polished as higher end guitars, but playability-wise no complaints at all. The string spacing is different than on my Taylor, which makes this feel a little off for me – but this is strictly a preference thing so some might like this better. The rosewood fretboard is pretty slick – I don’t really notice a functional difference between it and my preferred material (ebony). Perhaps the only negative note in my review – the fretboard binding is not rounded, so it can feel slightly uncomfortable in some situations. Again, this is a personal preference – I’ve experienced squared-off binding like this on high end guitars as well.

Construction – The neck and body are solid and the bracing is basic, but solid. The neck construction seems less than ideal, but is probably as stable as anything else unless it suffers a big impact. It would be nice if they had mounted a second strap button.

Aesthetics – Overall, the guitar looks great. The sunburst is done well – many pictures of these guitars make the sunburst look pretty bad – it’s great in person. The guitar I received (Tobacco Brown Sunburst) is darker than pictures would indicate – which I like. The inlays look great and the gloss finish on the body/headstock is to a high standard. The binding in places is a tad messy, but overall this is a pretty classy looking guitar. The laminate rosewood back is nicely grained and dark.

It’s unbelievable to me that this guitar is under 0 considering the features and details (no matter where it’s built). On it’s merits as an instrument, it’s unassailable.

Best Value in Acoustic Guitar., October 26, 2012
By 
James S Felts – See all my reviews

This review is from: Yamaha FG730S Acoustic Guitar, Natural (Electronics)
I’ve had alot of acoustic guitars over the years from Martin, Takamine, Fender, Alvarez and a Seagull. To my ears, this guitar is a cut above the rest. It looks beautiful and the sound is just incredible. If you are in the market for an acoustic guitar and not willing to spend high dollar on one, you will be blown away by this one.
