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

http://www.rikkismusic.com/Yamaha-F310-Acoustic-Guitar-Pack
Solid construction, ease of use and stunning sound make the Yamaha F310 acoustic guitar an excellent choice for beginners. If you're looking for an amazing affordable guitar, the F310 is the one for you.

The Yamaha F310 acoustic guitar is a very attractive and well finished guitar. The classic dreadnaught shape is ideal to hold and comfortable to play either standing up or sitting down. The guitar is extremely user friendly and offers an outstanding playing experience. It is very easy to tune and it stays in tune for a long time. Yamaha have carefully selected the tonewoods when designing this guitar resulting in a fantastic sound for a budget guitar, one which simply blows away similarly priced competition.

Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar Main Features Include:
- Spruce top provides a very natural sound with superbly resonant qualities and brilliant projection of sound.
- Meranti back and sides enhances the overall stability of this instrument both in the way it is constructed and the way these choice timbers react with sound waves, helping it project the tone forward towards the sound hole.
- Nato neck gives a great feel to the player and offers such a smooth feel on the palm of the hand. This timber doesn't just feel good when used for a guitar neck but it has excellent tonal qualities too.
- Rosewood fingerboard is a very warm sounding material which is perfect for an acoustic guitar. It is also worthy to note that the feel of the fingerboard on this particular guitar is superb. Individual notes resonate brilliantly, as do chords.
- Rosewood bridge is a very hard wood which is perfect for this part of the guitar as there is a lot of stress on this area of the guitar created by the strings which are pegged into the bridge and secured at the other end of the instrument. The bridge is such an important area of the guitar so Yamaha have made a winning decision not to scrimp on quality here.

Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar Package Includes:
- F310 acoustic guitar as above.
- Digital guitar tuner YT100 which is very easy to use and ensures your guitar will always be in tune.
- Spare set of strings to cater for the breakages which inevitably occur.
- Strap to hold your guitar comfortably whilst sitting or standing up.
- Instructional DVD to get you started playing your new guitar.

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 ...

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

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!

@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.

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

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 ;)

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

[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?

[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.

@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.

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