The Bold Sound of Spruce and Maple!
Whether it's your first guitar or your fortieth, the combination of primo tonewoods and comfortable design makes the Yamaha FG740SFM a great deal for any kind of player. One of the things several of us at Sweetwater like about Yamaha's FG (folk guitar) series is how comfortable these instruments are to play. They also sound incredible. In this case, the FG740SFM gets its powerful voice and projection from a solid Sitka spruce top and a flame maple back and sides - the kind of choice tonewoods you wouldn't expect to find on a guitar in this class. If you're looking for a beautiful acoustic guitar with a great sound at a great price, then you're going to love the Yamaha FG740SFM.

- Yamaha's Folk Guitar Series delivers affordable quality
Sweetwater knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the FG740SFM, 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.
Maple back and sides make this guitar a real tone cannonKnown for being bright, bold, and loud, maple is the tonewood of choice for guitar players who demand to be heard. You'll hear the clarity of the FG740SFM's maple back and sides with every note you play, and its sparkling highs float beautifully over the sound of any mahogany or rosewood acoustics you're playing with. What's more, a veneer of flame maple gives the Yamaha FG740SFM an incredibly eye-catching look you're sure to love.

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 FG740SFM Folk Series guitar.
