Yamaha FG 720 SL Left-Handed – Japan 2012

Here is a Yamaha FG720S, part of Yamaha’s long-running FG series that has been a staple for generations of guitarists since its introduction in the late 1960s. Famously associated with iconic performances such as Country Joe McDonald at Woodstock in 1969, the FG series has earned a reputation as a reliable, accessible, and musically inspiring acoustic platform for beginners and working players alike.

The FG720S features a solid spruce top paired with Yamaha’s refined bracing design, delivering a strong, balanced tonal response with improved low-end depth and clarity. The inverted L-block neck joint enhances structural stability and improves energy transfer between neck and body, resulting in greater sustain and a tighter overall sound.

Backed by die-cast chrome hardware and non-scalloped bracing, this model maintains tuning stability and a focused tonal character while offering durability suited to long-term use. The design draws influence from Yamaha’s acclaimed L Series, incorporating modern refinements while maintaining the straightforward, dependable feel the FG line is known for.

This guitar delivers a warm, balanced voice with clear projection and an easy playing feel, making it a trusted choice for songwriting, practice, and live performance.

A dependable and well-built acoustic guitar with proven heritage and excellent value. Comes in its original hard shell case.
