For over a century, Yamaha has built instruments that musicians trust, from concert pianos to the guitars in rehearsal rooms, music schools and on stages around the world. The company traces its roots to 1887 in Hamamatsu, Japan, and its FG acoustic series, introduced in 1966, became one of the best-known acoustic guitar families ever made. That experience in woodworking, acoustics and quality control shows up in every guitar, from a first-time learner’s F280 to a premium Pacifica electric.
Yamaha model names follow a pattern. Once you know it, the range is much easier to read.

The right type of guitar depends on the music you want to play, where you will play it and how much you want to spend. Use this quick guide to compare acoustic, electric, bass and classical guitars, then jump to the full range for the type that suits you.
Acoustic guitars are the best fit for singing, songwriting and playing with friends. Three choices matter most.
Body shape. A dreadnought (Traditional Western) gives a big, powerful sound with strong bass, which suits strumming and singing. Folk and concert shapes, including cutaway models, are smaller and more comfortable, with balanced mids and trebles that suit fingerstyle. Jumbo bodies are the loudest but also the largest to hold. If you are unsure, a dreadnought is the safest all-round choice for most adult beginners. Smaller players should look at a folk or concert body.
Solid or laminate top. A solid top is a single piece of wood that vibrates freely and tends to open up with age. A laminate top is more affordable and copes better with humidity and temperature changes, which makes it a sensible first guitar.
Plugged or unplugged. Choose a standard acoustic for learning and practice at home. Choose an electro-acoustic if you want to plug into an amp or PA, or record directly. TransAcoustic models add reverb and chorus without an external amp.

Electric guitars suit rock, blues, pop and metal, and they need an amplifier to be heard. Start with these four decisions.
Pacifica or Revstar. Pacifica is the versatile all-rounder, with a double-cutaway body and comfortable playability. The range runs from first guitars like the Pacifica to the premium Pacifica Standard Plus models. Revstar pairs café-racer styling with modern performance, and suits players who want more character from their guitar.
Single coil or humbucker. Single coils sound bright and sparkling. Humbuckers are thicker and suit heavier styles. HSS and HSH layouts give you both in one guitar, so they are a good choice if you play several genres.
Tremolo or fixed bridge. A vintage-style tremolo lets you bend pitch. A fixed Tune-O-Matic bridge favours sustain and tuning stability.
Plan for an amp. Always budget for an amplifier and a cable. The compact Yamaha THR series is built for home practice and is a good match for most beginners.

The bass anchors the rhythm of any band, so a few choices are worth getting right.
4-string or 5-string. A four-string bass is the standard choice and the easiest to learn on. A five-string adds an extra low string for a wider range, which helps if the music you play goes below a standard four-string's lowest note.
BB or TRBX. The BB series is vintage-inspired, with a classic voice. The TRBX series is modern and versatile and offers good value. Pick the one that matches the sound you want.
Use a bass amplifier. Do not play a bass through a guitar amp. Bass frequencies can damage a guitar amp's speaker, so pair your bass with a dedicated bass amplifier.

Classical guitars use nylon strings, which are gentle on the fingertips and give a warm, mellow tone. The wide neck gives fingerstyle players more room. They suit classical, flamenco, folk, Latin and Indian fusion music, and they are a favourite with music schools and beginners.
Nylon strings only. Never fit steel strings on a classical guitar, because they can damage the instrument.
Solid or laminate top. A solid top gives a richer tone that develops over time. A laminate top costs less and handles changes in weather better, so it works well for students.
Student or performance model. Student guitars, such as the C40, are made for learning. Models with built-in pickups let you plug in for performances.
Choose from our Yamaha classical guitars online.
Choose a standard acoustic if you play at home, for learning or around friends. Choose an electro-acoustic if you want to plug into an amp, mixer, or PA, or record directly. You can also add a pickup later, but a built-in system is usually cleaner. Our electro-acoustic buying guide lists models and features.
When you try a guitar or read its specs, look at these.
A good first guitar should be comfortable, stay in tune and sound good enough to keep you motivated. These are the usual starting points on our store.

The F280 and FS80C are popular, affordable starting points, and both are Made in India. If you want a solid top and richer tone from the start, the FG800 is a strong step up. Choose by comfort and budget.
Both are dreadnought-style guitars, but the FG800 has a solid spruce top for fuller, richer tone and is built to a higher specification. The F280 is a simpler, more affordable guitar designed for first-time players.
A solid top is a single piece of wood that resonates more freely and tends to improve with age. A laminate top is layered, so it costs less and copes better with changes in humidity and temperature.
Only if you plan to perform or record by plugging in. For practice and learning at home, a standard acoustic is enough.
It’s a Yamaha acoustic guitar that adds reverb and chorus by vibrating the guitar’s own body, so you get effects without an external amplifier.
Electric guitars have lighter strings and lower action, so they are easier on the fingers, but they need an amp. Acoustic guitars are self-contained and portable but need slightly more finger strength at first. Choose the one matching the music you want to play.
This isn’t recommended because bass frequencies can damage a guitar amp’s speaker. Use a bass amplifier.
No. Classical guitars are made only for nylon strings, and steel strings can damage the instrument.
It depends on how often you play and the weather where you live. Change them when they sound dull, feel rough or no longer hold their tuning.
