An Entry-level Guitar with Real Tonewoods

The Yamaha FG720S acoustic guitar stems from a long heritage of amazing FG "folk guitar" acoustic guitars. It's the perfect choice for your first acoustic guitar, and one with surprisingly full, round tone for a truly affordable price. Responsible for the FG720S's beautiful voice is its complement of deluxe features, including a solid Sitka spruce top, an Eastern Redwood body, dependable die-cast tuners, and a rosewood fingerboard. If you want to get started playing acoustic guitar, let your journey start with an amazing instrument you'll love playing for years to come - the Yamaha FG720S acoustic guitar.

Yamaha FG720S Acoustic Guitar at a Glance:
  • Genuine Sitka spruce top for great tone
  • Real Eastern mahogany back and sides
  • Yamaha's Folk Guitar Series

Genuine Spruce top for great tone
Sweetwater knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the FG720S, Yamaha chose a solid Sitka spruce top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid spruce has a well-rounded, articulate sound with excellent projection. And because it's a solid-wood top, the tone will age gracefully, with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by.

Real Eastern mahogany back and sides
The FG720S sports a body made from real Eastern mahogany, a wonderful complement to the solid Sitka spruce top. Mahogany has a warm, rich sound with exceptional depth. Combined with the lively and defined sound of the spruce top, you'll love the wide-ranging tone you get from the Yamaha FG720S.

Yamaha's Folk Guitar Series
The Yamaha Folk Guitar Series was formed to bring you high-quality instruments at a great price that anyone can afford. If you're a new player looking for your ideal first guitar, or a seasoned player looking for a good value, you'll appreciate the attention to detail that Yamaha puts into every FG720S Folk Series guitar.

Yamaha FG720S Acoustic Guitar Features:
  • Affordable acoustic guitar with solid Sitka spruce top for excellent tone
  • Color: Natural
  • Solid Sitka spruce top and Eastern mahogany body will enhance in tone as the instrument ages
  • Diecast chrome tuners look great and keep your tuning stable
  • Sounds great played solo, or in an ensemble to add another dimension of depth

The Yamaha FG720S is the perfect first acoustic guitar, with a surprisingly rich acoustic voice!

Best 12-string in price range

by Dave from Midwwest USA
June 17, 2012
Music Background: Singer-Songwriter
First off, this has two major pluses: it's well constructed and has great sound. The guitar has minimal ornamentation, but is does show great attention to detail in the construction--no sloppy joins... read more [+], the frets are well dressed and the factory setup is great. The neck is solid but not clubby.
The sound is well balanced, with a bass presence that is not muddy, and well-articulated treble that does not sound tinny.
The only reason I can't give this a five-star rating is because of the tuners. The posts are about 1/32-1/16 too short, and will cause problems when restringing because it is difficult to get sufficient wraps around the post for it to securely hold a tune. So while it is good for a second guitar or to have for those songs where one feels a 12-string is necessary without breaking the bank, this is a great buy.
But if you plan on a 12-string for your main guitar, my advice is save up your pennies and go for a Guild. close [-]
