Yamaha FS400 Acoustic Guitar

The Yamaha FS400 is a compact acoustic guitar designed for comfortable playing, balanced sound and everyday versatility. Its concert-style body offers a slightly smaller and lighter feel than a traditional dreadnought, making it suitable for younger players, guitarists with smaller frames and musicians who prefer a more manageable instrument. The spruce top produces a clear, responsive acoustic tone, while its carefully designed bracing helps deliver rich resonance and balanced projection.

Part of Yamaha’s F400 Series, the FS400 combines straightforward construction with practical playability. Its 634 mm (25-inch) scale length and 43 mm nut width provide a comfortable playing feel, while the compact body makes it convenient for practice, casual performances and travel. The instrument is well suited to strumming, chord-based playing and fingerstyle techniques. Its purely acoustic construction delivers natural sound without requiring electronic amplification.

The guitar features a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, with locally sourced tonewood used for the back, sides and neck. Its modern matte finish highlights the simple wood-inspired design, available in Natural Satin and Smoky Black. The clean appearance is maintained by the absence of a pickguard and body binding. Chrome tuning machines provide reliable tuning adjustment, while the urea nut and saddle support consistent string contact.
