Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar Review by Rikki's Music Shop, Edinburgh

[thesauli1995]

What would you recommend a Yamaha C40 or F310?

[RikkisMusicShop]

Big Hands shouldn't hinder you on the guitar , probably the contrary , you will have a huge stretch for chords. Enjoy and best of luck ...

[Theihatecampers]

i have huge hands ! is it still okay to purchase this guitar ?

[badabumbadabing1]

Not a bad guitar, but i expected a bit more. I am used to electric guitar necks but I have tried a couple of acoustics before. I don't like the feel of the neck, It's obviously a bit chunkier and strings are a tad too close to each other. But overall, you can't get a better piece of equipment for this price. Luckily I've got it free from a friend that wanted to learn to play but gave up on it despite me almost begging her not to. Lucky catch ;)

[anderfat]

What's the different between f310 and f360 sounds? I'm a beginner and can't differentiate it.

[TheZenPerspective]

Just to let you know, I have just uploaded a video of this guitar. You can get a better close up look at the parts and materials used and there is a clip of me playing it too! Thumbs up if it helps you as I know there are no other videos out there that show it close up :)

[faridzayish]

what guitar is that the white at the back?

[MsNeutral198]

I want this guitar realllll bad!!! Is it okay if someone who's small (like me) to buy this guitar? would it be comfortable?

[RikkisMusicShop]

@MsNeutral198 Depends on how small you are. It is a full-size dreadnought guitar. Having said that, the neck is quite slim so suitable for smaller hands. If you want a smaller bodied guitar then you should go for a "folk" body. This is physically smaller and easier to reach over and play. Rgds

[wolf69a]

That was mi first guitar about 4 years ago and is still perfect

[Flamingwindjutsu]

What's the action like on this guitar?

[rrgert4]

@Flamingwindjutsu iv heard the action could be too high on highest frets... depends on the string thickness

[PKMovies127]

Hi there.

Would this guitar be the best of it's price range, as I'm looking a nice guitar for my birthday in 3/4 weeks and I found this one in the Argos catalogue and it sounds very nice and how would this one range with the best guitars on the market? Just want a good guitar at a reasonable price.

Btw nice review keep up the nice work!

[RikkisMusicShop]

@PKMovies127 Hi, glad you like our video. The F310 is by far the most popular guitar in its price bracket and is a firm favourite for beginners. Basically you can't go wrong by choosing this guitar. Disappointed to see you might buy from Argos though. Please support local independent music shops (like us). I doubt very much that Argos could produce an informational video like ours, one which provides expert and impartial advice. Cheers, Graeme.

[TheZenPerspective]

Hey I recently bought this guitar. I have put up a review on my channel too if you want to look at it a little closer. But thank you RikkisMusicShop, this video was the one that convinced me to get it.

[choco8109]

wat colours did it have??

[RikkisMusicShop]

@SypherDubstep Hi, you may not believe it but a huge amount of effort went into producing these review videos. It was our first effort though, and we know there is room for improvement. We're sure they'll be better next time. Keep on rockin'.

[harikiranmenon]

This baby's gona be mine!!!! In one day!!!!!!

[SeanDR93]

I would like to know the price pls

[RikkisMusicShop]

@SeanDR93 Hi, Prices can change but currently we have retailing on our website for £109 (or £129 as a package). Cheers Graeme.

[micholly]

@RikkisMusicShop Nothing wrong with that price, that is exactly what Amazon and Argos are retailing it for. I do apologise Rikki, i bought it on Amazon for Black Friday for £80, but when i get up to a higher level i will definitely be popping in.

Cheers from Stirling.

[RikkisMusicShop]

@micholly Hi there, You've made a very good choice by purchasing the F310. Good luck with learning to play and looking forward to seeing you in Rikki's Music Shop some time in the future. Regards.

[unite00uk]

@micholly Whats the action like on this guitar? How high does the strings come off say the 12th fret?

[scarlethati]

what's with many dislikes?

[rrgert4]

@scarlethati true ibanez fans :D

[l0Like0It0Like0That]

AW! that's my baby :D ... FG700 is maybe a better choice, but I never regret getting myself the F310

[Ryukendo92]

Got this as my second acoustic guitar yesterday =D

[cakstones]

Yes, i like the FG700s more, but what if i live in hot weather? will it damage the solid body or change anything?

in this case would you recommend a solid top or laminated top ?

Thanks.

[RikkisMusicShop]

Hi , Thx for viewing our products , the fg700s is the best choice, cheers....

[cakstones]

Hi this is a great review for the guitar :)

umm should i get the Yamaha F310 or the Yamaha FG700s?? whats better?? plz reply :)

[IHateYourJoy]

my uncle has a Yamaha acoustic, with a under dog sticker on it =P

[masterdman100]

what type of strings does it have (thanks)!

[RikkisMusicShop]

@masterdman100 Hi, it comes from the factory fitted with 11s. Cheers

[masterdman100]

@RikkisMusicShop thanks for replying

[devideos02]

wow

[EP1CSR00MAGE]

where is the furthest you will ship to, i do live in the uk though

[RikkisMusicShop]

@EP1CSR00MAGE Hi, Sounds like it could be a trick question to us :-) As you probably know we are UK based but can ship to EU countries no problem. We can also ship worldwide but cost can become an issue. Please contact the shop if you want to know more details about a specific enquiry. Cheers, Graeme

[hanghang71]

@EP1CSR00MAGE most guitar shops in the u.k stock this guitar,i have never regretted buying this guitar,i went and paid £500 pounds on a guild gad 25 and although its all mahogany not laminate like the yamaha i just cant put the yammy down,the neck is so comfertable and it stays in tune,agreat buy

[mangit90]

compared to Westfield B200 Acoustic Guitar, which one is better?

Cheers

[RikkisMusicShop]

@mangit90 Hello , thank's for the enquiry, In my opinion the B200 has a much better tone and fuller projection of sound.thx

[mangit90]

@RikkisMusicShop So in your opinion, it means that i should really go for B200?

[RikkisMusicShop]

@mangit90 I feel it would be the best choice .

[mangit90]

@RikkisMusicShop Thanks for your help. I tot of getting Yamaha F310 from your shop. so now its B200 then. Big thanks!! :D

[barni767]

I'm 16 and have been playing bass for about 5 years. I can play the basics on guitar and mess about on my mates. I wanna get an acoustic and start learning guitar properly, i have been looking at the yamaha F310 and the yamaha FG700s which one would you recommend or are there any other acoustics that would be better suited?

[RikkisMusicShop]

@barni767 Between these two guitars the FG700S wins hands down , rich tone shines through in comparison, thx

[guna90]

what is the song that your'are playing?

[RikkisMusicShop]

Hello Thank you for your interest in our demo video , the song I am playing is one of my own songs called Virginia calling, thanks.

[chingkay1493]

i got this guitar..a birthday gift from my brother :))

[kajaria22]

hello sir u people are really amazing and helpful for beginners like me..

i am also planning to buy a guitar, i like the Yamaha F310, but need ur advice for further steps.. should i proceed with it or u would recommend me some more guitars within the same price range...

thanx a lot..

[RikkisMusicShop]

@kajaria22 Hello. The F310 is one of the best selling guitars in the world in this price range. It is an excellent choice and you really can't go wrong if you choose to buy it. You may also like to take a look at the Westfield B200 (slightly cheaper) but we would recomend the F310 over the B200. Cheers, Graeme.

[Hikarilight24]

Hello im a beginner and i saw to guitars that im interested The one is this Yamaha F310 and the other one is the Ibanez SGT120 Sage series. I have a problem finding the second one in greece and online is the shipping very expencive. What of those to is better for me and for quality.?

Thank you :)

[wartree]

as it represents great value for money.

Love the scottish accent.

[bradsear]

Great video :D, i just have two questions: tge first is how often would a guitarist use the closest frets to the body because i cant find many guitars that i like with cutaways (this guitar i like alot actually) and the second one is how much does a yamaha guitar cost on average?

[RikkisMusicShop]

@bradsear Hello and thank you so much for taking interest in our product listings and reviews , Much appreciated ! You wouldn't use the frets high up very often unless you want to improvise in your own style ....A yamaha guitar costs on average around £200.00, All the best Dude , take it easy ....

[ilovethebiebs123]

thankss:)

[ProdiJayy]

Im gonna get this as my first guitar, then the yamaha fx370, then a yamaha apx500. xD

[RikkisMusicShop]

@iMikeey Hi Mikee, thanks for your interest in our products, I would pick the Yamaha over the b200 , B200 hundred is good as well it has a fatter neck than the Yamaha, Which has a slimmer neck that feels very good, cheers, Chris.

[eddlovesu]
