Yamaha FS820 Small Body Acoustic GuitarThe Yamaha FS820 is and excellent quality starter instrument with a solid top. We find a majority of people are much more comfortable starting with a smaller body guitar. The traditional dreadnought size is pretty big. A guitar this size can be considerably easier to hold. Always a great value from Yamaha too. Folk body sized solid Sitka spruce top laminated mahogany back and sides nato neck rosewood fingerboard and bridge cream body binding tortoise
