Yamaha dreadnought, spruce and mahogany, year unknown. This is a nice little strummer, it's simple and effective. Yamaha have a way of making brilliant guitars for how-do-they-do-that prices, and this is a prime example. It all works nicely: the neck is slim and easy, the hardware all works perfectly, and the body really rings truly. The tone has mellowed nicely with plenty of play, it's got a warm and simple tone. If you're after a cool little strummer that's perfect for the loungeroom, the campfire or the beach, this will do nicely.
