In the world of left handed acoustic guitars, Yamaha has a couple of entries you should be aware of. Yamaha left handed acoustic guitars are mirror images of their well-known standard guitars. With a set of features that scream value and sound that is massive and strong, Yamaha guitars, either left handed or standard, are worth a look.

Yamaha FG720SL Left handed Acoustic Guitar

To begin with, there is the Yamaha FG720SL with a strong spruce top intended for awesome tonal warmth. Match that with its back, sides and guitar neck constructed of Nato and the richness of sound as well as the overall weight of the instrument stands out. The guitar materials allow clear highs and fully rounded lows. The particular lows is pretty great and not overshadowing at all

Features and Looks

The particular fretboard is only twenty frets rather than twenty two on various other products, There is however no cutaway on either side, it’s the same industry standard. Rosewood is employed on the fingerboard along with the bridge allowing uniformity of tone from headstock to bridge; impressive across the left handed acoustic globe.

Anxious regarding appearance? Do not sweat on it. The surface finish is pure and provides tortoise shell design pick guard to get added character and contrast. Chuck in the die cast silver finished tuners and the package comes out quite properly, especially in this price range ($325 to 350 most places). In addition the item has a limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty to boot. Great left handed acoustic musical instrument with security over the lifespan of the guitar.

The APX700 Acoustic/Electric Guitar

Now if you are more about playing left handed acoustic guitars with electric ability, we have the Yamaha APX700.  Coming in at around $550, this is a powerhouse of tonal adversity. Start with the spruce top and move to mahogany for the back and sides for increased playability, tonal power and maximum sustain through the body.

Features and Aesthetics

The actual neck is made of Nato used in the FG720SL, but coupled with the exceptional mahogany, the sound transference is absolutely astonishing. Fret board as well as bridge are made of corresponding rosewood materials for tonal warmth, power and fullness across the entire guitar. This guitar neck sports 22 frets and a cutout on the side can make those higher registers easily available.

For added value here, look at the electronics you get. Yamaha’s development of the A.R.T. (Advanced Resonance Transducer) gives this beast some punch. Also included are the 1-way pickup/preamp system and an onboard tuner as well as a 3 bad EQ feature that you will NOT find in this price range. This is truly a superior left handed acoustic instrument that actually reduces feedback when amplified.

And if you are worried all those features will weigh too much to strap on for stage presence, the body is designed as a thin line, low profile styling that is lighter and contours to your body nicely. The finish is natural and has an abalone inlay around the sound hole and the body is trimmed with ivory and black for beautiful contrast.
