Yamaha JR1 3/4 Size Acoustic Guitar & gigbag - Natural

Product Information

JR is a 540mm scale length compact acoustic guitar modeled after our long selling FG series. This compact guitar delivers authentic acoustic sound anytime and anywhere you want. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered

While Taylor's GS Mini feels like a 'proper' guitar that's shrunk in the wash, the JR2 is about portability and affordability first, with tone and playability a respectable second. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty As if the quality and price weren’t enough to convince people, Yamaha has thrown a complimentary gig bag into the deal.It’s important to note that this guitar can’t compete with full-bodied guitar in terms of output. If you want a loud, boomy guitar, go for a standard dreadnought. If, on the other hand, you find the full-scale guitars to be bulky and uncomfortable, and would rather have something scaled-down, the Yamaha JR1 is your thing. Compact and made for the road, this reduced scale guitar from Yamaha is the perfect travel companion! Small Scale, Big Sound As the FG JR1 is a compact version of the FG series guitars, they carry a compact proprietary bracing pattern. While the JR1 isn’t an overly-embellished guitar, it provides everything someone needs to learn to play.

The JR2 acoustic and the JR1 also are very similar when it comes to their appointments. As with the previous section, there's no real winner here, as both guitars have the same appointments. Here's what you get with either: For a mass-produced product, the Yamaha JR1 acoustic guitar has a surprisingly good quality and sound. Still, you could further improve the guitar with a couple of tweaks. The Yamaha FG series offers consistently popular and top-value mid-level acoustic guitars. OverviewYamaha is a manufacturer known for producing guitars that are great values, and this goes for guitars in any price range. While Yamaha's high-end guitars have been praised for their incredible sound and build quality, the company's more affordable models also have a lot to offer, especially when compared to inexpensive guitars from other manufacturers. This guitar is extremely pleasing to the eye thanks to Yamaha’s willingness to provide upscale aesthetics on a budget model. You’ll find that this willingness to extend beyond what’s necessary is par for the course with this guitar. It must be noted that you can opt to get the Affinity Series Telecaster with a Laurel fretboard if desired. While Maple might be snappy and responsive, Laurel is softer and feels more pliable. We’re talking about a scalloped X bracing pattern beneath the soundhole. These are a series of wood pieces forming an X. Created by Yamaha’s R&D Division, the design choice enhances low-mid sounds and makes the highs more cutting. There really is nothing like a good acoustic guitar at the end of the day to be able to play. Unfortunately, most acoustic guitars can be a little bit too large for an 11-year-old of small stature.
