Dovetail Joint

Since the joint between the body and neck must be a perfect fit, this important process is done by hand.

Cutting the Dovetail

Yamahas acoustic guitars use a traditional dovetail joint. The joints are cut with a high level of precision to ensure that the neck and body are jointed solidly and resonance is transferred efficiently from the neck to the body.

Shaping the Heel

This delicate process is carried out by the hands of a craftsman.

Inlay Work on the Head

Decorative inlay work is applied to the head.
Joining the Neck and Body
After the finish is applied, the final major step brings the body together with the neck by means of the dovetail joint. With this the guitar becomes whole.

Inserting the Frets

The craftsman uses a hammer to insert the frets into the fretboard.

Attaching the Bridge

After the bridges precise position is determined, the craftsman uses a chisel to carefully remove the finish. Adhesive is then applied to the surface and the bridge is attached.

Polishing the Frets

The craftsman uses sandpaper to level the height or all frets and polish their surfaces.

Final Adjustment

After the nut is attached to the neck, the guitar is strung and the slits in the nut are adjusted as needed.

Electronics Assembly

The acoustic-electrics preamplifier and pickup systems are installed.

Final Inspection

The final adjustment and inspection take place in a quiet room. Only those instruments that pass this strict inspection are allowed to leave the factory. Acoustic/ electric instruments require an additional inspection to check the instruments pickup and electronic system.
The History of the Yamaha Acoustic Guitar
The history of our steel string acoustic guitar line started with a handful of models in the mid to late 60s. Known as Red-Label models, these affordable instruments put guitars of excellent quality within the reach of a whole generation of musicians and music lovers. It wasnt long before our master craftsmen were turning out high-end models like the FG2000 and expanding the lineup with a wider variety of quality instruments. Thirty some years later and those instruments are still bringing pleasure to their owners. Whats more is, its their kids and grandkids that now are discovering the beauty of music through our FG series guitars. By the early 1970s, our high-end models like our FG-2000 were attracting the attention of some of the world class artists of the day. Many of these heavyweights wanted more and began requesting custom designs from our factory. This great response led to the introduction of our L-Series Guitars in the late 1970s. A line of quality instruments designed and crafted to meet the critical demands of the professional musician. By the mid 80s, the L series had branched out into the LL, LS, and LA series guitars, and later the LW series which was the seed for our acclaimed DW series guitars. In the last thirty odd years, the world has seen a lot of change. But what you can still count on is the affordability of a Yamaha guitar, the outstanding quality they deliver, and the joy they can bring to those that own them.

Handcrafted by Yamahas world class luthiers the flagship LL500 offers premium quality and materials that are the hallmark of Yamaha handcraft guitars. A solid top of Sitka spruce with solid Indian Rosewood back and sides deliver lots of volume with excellent tonal balance. Details such as incredible fretwork, hand scalloped bracing, and sculpted necks show the high level of craftsmanship that goes into each instrument. An amplified version, the LLX500C, incorporates a two-way pickup system and controls in its cutaway body for outstanding tone both acoustically and amplified. The LA8 features a solid spruce top on a body slightly smaller than the LL guitars. Designed especially for recording, it delivers good balance over its entire range.

LL11/LL11E/LL400/LLX400

The LL11 and its acoustic electric counterpart the LL11E, provide guitarists with handcraft quality at an affordable price. Both models utilize a solid spruce top with hand-scalloped bracing and rosewood back and sides to produce a bright, vibrant tone with low-end punch and excellent projection. To provide the best tone possible, the acoustic electric LL11E uses an outboard preamp unit so the body can resonate freely. The LL400 and LLX400 offer enhanced quality and tone through the use of all solid designs. Their solid spruce tops with hand-scalloped bracing are matched with back and sides of solid mahogany to deliver a slightly warmer tone than the LL500.

DW15/DW9

Yamahas DW series dreadnoughts offer outstanding quality, performance, and affordability. The flagship DW15 is an excellent example offering all solid construction that is hard to find in this price range. A solid top of Engelmann spruce and solid rosewood back and sides produce a warm, robust sound that will get even better with age and playing. The instrument is also designed with thinner back and sides and a new bracing design that result in greater resonance and fast response. Playability is also enhanced through the use of a shallower-profile neck. The DW9 offers the same specifications as the DW15 with the exception of laminated rosewood sides. Both instruments deliver powerful, well-balanced acoustic tone with great clarity and projection.

DW7/DW7L/DW7-12/DWX7C

The DW7 dreadnoughts may be at the low end of the DW series but they still deliver outstanding quality and value with the same solid top of Engelmann spruce as found in the DW15 and DW9. Like the DW15 and DW9, the DW7 series also benefits from refinements like thinner sides, back and neck for optimum performance and tone. The DW7 lineup features a standard 6-string; a left-hand model, the DW7L; the 12-string DW7-12 and the DWX7C, which features the System 45 two-way pickup system and a cutaway for greater access to the upper frets. The DWX7C is also available in three color finishes.
Rosewood back and sides are found on all DW series guitars.

csf60/csf60c/csf35
The csf series guitars are small, parlor size guitars that are comfortable to hold and play. All three models in the series offer solid tops of Sitka spruce, with the csf60 and csf60c providing solid back and sides of sapele and neck of African mahogany. These guitars deliver a mellow, mid-range tone and their fast response makes them easy and pleasant instruments to play for players of all levels. The csf60c is an acoustic-electric version with a unique cutaway design that allows full access of the upper frets. An active preamplifier mounted inside the body cavity sends the amplified signal from the bridge mounted piezo pickup directly to the end-pin jack.

FPX300/FPX300N

The steel string FPX300 and nylon string FPX300N start with a solid cedar top on ovankol back and sides to produce a sound rich in harmonics and projects well. Rosewood on nato necks are a wide 48mm to make either instrument perfect for fingerstyle techniques. A two-way pickup system offers added versatility with its ability to mix the under the saddle mounted piezo with the condenser microphone mounted inside the body. The FPX300Ns preamp is specially optimized for use with the nylon string guitar.

All three are fitted with two-way pickup systems that feature a condenser microphone mounted on the end of a flexible gooseneck for optimum placement of the microphone. The preamp also features a blend control to mix the signal from the Ribbon Transducer, with that of the condenser microphone.
CPX15NA/CPX15WA/CPX15EA/CPX15SA
North, South, East, West. The four points of the globe are this series theme. The arctic theme of the CPX15NA is presented with the satin sycamore back and sides and inlaid images of the frozen north. Heading west the CPX15WA offers walnut back and sides and images from the American West.

Sound Character Chart
Body size does have a great influence on the volume, tonal balance, and overall playability of the guitar. But its the bracing found underneath the guitar top, that plays a critical role in shaping the tonal character of the instrument. While protecting the top from warping caused by string tension, the bracing also determines and controls how resonance produced by the bridge is transmitted to the entire body to make sound. Depending upon the position of the bracing, the types of materials used, its design, etc., we can give the guitar unique tonal characteristics.
