Yamaha FG700S Acoustic Guitar
Yamaha's combination of quality components and craftsmanship, make the FG700S acoustic guitar an instrument that produces great tone and playability, on a lunch-money budget!
The FG700S acoustic guitar is not really a beginner's guitar. It's for the guitarist who has been playing awhile and wants to move up from a beginning instrument. The tone and playability are exceptional for a guitar in this price range.
Unlike other manufacturers, Yamaha makes most of their own acoustic guitars. When you buy a Yamaha guitar, it's really a Yamaha. Why is that important? Well, for a number of reasons. They control the quality of the materials and the manufacturing process. In other words, they are not at the mercy of another company's willingness to make a quality product.
Take a look at this short, but informative video of the Yamaha FG700S.

Free Guitar Restring At Andy's Music
Andy's Music, Mobile, Alabama, hosted a free guitar and bass restringing session on Saturday, July 11. With the donation of a canned good to benefit the Penelope House, customers received a free restring and setup of their guitar. Both acoustic and electric guitars, as well as basses were restrung during this event.
The event was very successful, with more than 36 guitars restrung and two large boxes filled with food. Penelope House is a non-profit organization established in 1979 by the Daughters of Penelope to help victims of domestic violence regain social and economic independence. The Family Violence Center is the only shelter for battered women and children in Mobile, Alabama, although services currently span across Mobile and Washington counties in Alabama.

Yamaha Guitars - # 1 In U.S. Sales
In 2009, Yamaha Guitars will celebrate its 40th year selling acoustic, electric and bass guitars in the United States. Yamaha has a distinguished history in the evolution of guitar technology and quality, and in 2008, became the top-selling acoustic and acoustic-electric guitar brand in the country, determined by sales volume and number of units sold.
Yamaha first started manufacturing and marketing guitars in Japan during the 1940s and began selling in the United States in 1969. Established in 1990, The Custom Shop at Yamaha Guitar Development in North Hollywood—the site where many artists have crafted their dream instruments—recently underwent a renovation and is now known as Yamaha Artist Services Hollywood. Many new models have been devised and designed at the site, including signature models by bassist Billy Sheehan and guitarists Wes Borland and Troy Van Leeuwen.
Yamaha was one of the first companies to bring quality Asian construction to the worldwide market. Over the years, the company helped perfect its classical guitars with input from Andres Segovia and Paco de Lucia. These days, Rodrigo Y Gabriela attest to the classical line's quality and have helped develop a prototype signature model.

The Yamaha LLX16TSB is the acoustic electric version of the LL16 handcrafted guitar. Since the 1980's, Yamaha’s L-Series handcrafted acoustic guitars have been the flagship of their acoustic guitar line.

Yamaha Silent Guitar SLG100N
The Yamaha Silent Guitar was originally designed as an ideal practice and travel instrument. But the nylon-string SLG100N quickly became popular with touring guitarists enamored with its practical, feedback-free live applications and modern jet-age appearance. Elegant design and sonic solutions are Yamaha traditions. Yamaha continues to innovate with the Silent Series.
The sound it produces acoustically is minimal, but when you slip on a pair of headphones, you enter a virtual world where full, rich classic guitar tone is enveloped in luxurious reverb. A world full of space and beauty. For beginners or experienced players alike, the Silent Guitar will provide you with pleasure through great playability and tone.
The SLG100N has custom-designed pickup systems by L.R. Baggs, and the B-Band faithfully reproduce every nuance, providing full, rich tone for stage and studio work. This Yamaha Silent guitar also features great sounding built-in Yamaha digital reverbs. Backstage, on the tour bus, or at home, the SLG100 easily fulfills the role of a woodshed axe, thanks to its comfortable, lightweight composite frame and included earbud-style headphones.

Yamaha Guitars - New CPX and APX Guitars
Yamaha has recently announced the introduction of the CPX500 and APX500FM acoustic electric guitars. These new models feature the sound quality and craftsmanship of instruments costing much more.
This is possible because these acoustic guitars are manufactured in Yamaha owned and operated factories that adhere to the same standards and practices as the company's high end handcrafted guitar line.
The Yamaha APX500FM, a thin-line acoustic-electric, is a flamed maple top version of the successful Yamaha APX500. It also features eastern mahogany back and sides, die-cast tuners, and the proprietary System55T preamp which includes Yamaha's workhorse 1-way piezo pickup, 3-band EQ, adjustable midrange control and onboard tuner.
The CPX500 is a Yamaha Compass (medium jumbo) model with a Spruce top, eastern mahogany back and sides, die-cast tuners and System55T preamp, and is the full bodied "big brother" to the APX500 model. The CPX500FM features a flamed maple top.

Orson Rock With Yamaha Guitars
A recipe for some pre-Christmas fun: take one London-based Hollywood rock band, throw in a number 1 single that was the undisputed feelgood track of 2006, add a new album just released and send it all out on tour for a month or so. The result? - Orson.
Everyone's favourite pop-rockers and the guys behind 2006's fabulously catchy number 1 single 'No Tomorrow', Orson, have just released their second album 'Culture Vultures' and are currently out on tour spreading the good word. Not only that but guitarist Kevin Roentgen, star of the latest Pacifica 112V 'Play Harder' promotion, is relying on his black AES1500 as the weapon of choice. Yamaha Guitar Artist Relations Manager, Mark Kirkland, was the man responsible for putting the AES1500 in Kevin's hands - 'the AES is an amazing guitar, and having guys like Kevin playing it proves that's where it's at'.
Orson are on tour until the end of December and their new album, Culture Vultures, is available now. For more information on Yamaha guitars, visit http://www.andysmusiconline.com/.

Yamaha YDP213 Digital Piano
The Yamaha YDP213 Digital Piano is designed for the serious hobbyist or aspiring musician. The YDP213 digital piano keyboard provides a realistic acoustic piano playing experience with the convenience of a digital instrument - it never needs tuning!
Besides outstanding sound, the YDP213 offers incredibly natural touch. Applying the know-how gleaned from over 100 years of crafting fine acoustic pianos, Yamaha has designed a remarkably expressive GHS (Graded Hammer Standard effect) keyboard. Unlike conventional digital piano keyboards that use springs or dampers to simulate piano feel, the GHS keyboard uses weights and mechanical linkages to provide a new level of realism. You’ll notice the difference it makes as soon as you start playing.
For a limited time starting October 1, 2007, when you purchase the Yamaha YDP213, you receive a free Yamaha Piano Home Companion Kit.

More Than Just Guitars
Yamaha makes more than just guitars, they make keyboards too. One of our most popular models is the Yamaha YDP223 digital piano.
There are many useful features built into the YDP223 that apply to musicians at any level of playing ability.

If you wish, you can send the file to your friends and family or just archive it like you would a photograph.
The Yamaha YDP-S30 is a recently introduced digital piano and provides piano playing enjoyment for all skill levels and expands the YDP line with a completely new slimmed-down design.
The YDPS30 delivers a traditional acoustic piano playing experience with the modern benefits of digital audio, including permanent tuning stability, the ability to practice privately via headphones and a choice of six instrument Voices. Exclusive to Yamaha is the way this gets achieved with AWM stereo piano Voices, 88 Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) weighted keys and a built-in 3-pedal frame featuring the Half Damper Effect, which fluidly captures foot motion while pedaling. Other convenient features include a built-in metronome, song recorder and 50 recordings of standard piano repertoire that can be used for simple listening enjoyment or as an ideal practice tool for both beginner and advanced pianists.

Yamaha Guitars Win Award
Yamaha Corporation of America won three 2006 Players' Choice Awards, which are voted on by the readers of Acoustic Guitar magazine. Many voters omitted specific models on their ballots, so the editors bestowed awards on manufacturers.
"These awards reflect players' satisfaction with various types of guitars and accessories they bought with hard-earned cash" that have "passed the test of living-room jams, festival stages and recording studios," wrote the editors.
Yamaha Guitars won a Gold Award in the Classical Guitar category and a Silver Award for Beginner Guitar. Yamaha's nylon string guitars range from the GigMaker Classic package, which includes a C40 guitar, to the top-of-the-line acoustic-electric CGX31C. Yamaha's FG guitars have helped nurture emerging guitarists since their introduction in the 1960's and are among the most popular guitar lines ever sold in the United States.
"Acoustic Guitar readers are very knowledgeable and discriminating," said Bryan Savage, marketing manager, Yamaha Guitars, Pro Audio & Combo Division. "When such a savvy audience singles out Yamaha products, it's a special honor."
Yamaha also won bronze in the PA category. Yamaha's Live Sound equipment is legendary in the industry. "From the compact STAGEPAS to our larger component systems, the goal is to provide versatility, reliability and quality," said Wayne Hrabak, marketing manager, Live Sound, Pro Audio & Combo Division. "This award validates our efforts."

Fender Guitars
In 1951 Leo Fender introduced a prototype solid-body guitar that would eventually be called the Fender Telecaster guitar. The Fender Tele, as it was often called then and still is today, was the first solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar to be commercially mass-produced. As a result of this humble beginning, Fender guitars are one of the most popular brands in the world today.
The Fender Stratocaster first appeared in 1954, and incorporated many design innovations based on feedback from professional musicians, Fender staff and Leo Fender himself. The Strat's third single-coil pickup offered more tonal possibilities than the two on the Tele, and its sleekly contoured body made it more comfortable. The double cutaway design of the Stratocaster made access to upper registers much easier.
The most important innovation on the Strat, however, was the addition of the new Fender vibrato (or “tremolo”) bridge, an innovation originally intended to let guitarists bend strings, thus achieving the pedal steel-like effect so popular among country music artists of the day. Nobody could have foreseen then how the Fender Stratocaster would go on to revolutionize popular music. Essentially unchanged since its 1954 debut, the Strat is the most popular and influential Fender electric guitar ever, and players at all levels and in all genres continue to rely on its sound, playability and versatility to this day.
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) is the world’s foremost manufacturer of guitars, amplifiers and related equipment since 1946. The Fender name has become synonymous with all things rock ‘n’ roll. Iconic Fender® instruments such as the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass guitars are known worldwide as the instruments that started the rock revolution, and they continue to be highly prized by today’s guitarists and collectors.
Fender has touched and transformed music worldwide and in nearly every genre: rock ‘n’ roll, country and western, jazz, rhythm and blues and many others. Everyone from beginners and hobbyists to the world’s most acclaimed artists and performers have used Fender guitars and amps. Legendary Fender guitars like the Telecaster® and Stratocaster® guitars and Precision® and Jazz® bass guitars are universally acclaimed as design classics.

Yamaha Acoustic Electric Guitars
For more than twenty years, Yamaha has been making electric acoustic guitars, dedicated to creating natural, rich tone captured through innovative pickup and preamp combinations.
Now Yamaha has revisited pickup technology again to achieve another milestone in the path to perfection. Their unique A.R.T (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) system uses purpose-specific multi-layer contact pickups and powerful new preamps to produce clear, natural amplified sounds.
The small-bodied, performance-focused APX, and the fuller-bodied CPX guitars fitted with A.R.T systems provide exceptionally organic amplified tone - closer than ever before to the natural acoustic sound of the guitar.
With a solid spruce top, the Yamaha APX700 projects a warm, mature tone with rich, ringing sustain both acoustically and amplified. The small body and slim neck ensure that, like all Yamaha APX guitars, the performance experience is perfect.
The 1-way A.R.T pickup system in combination with the System 56 preamp delivers a clear, controllable sound thanks to its ultra-musical EQ and adjustable mid frequency control for precise tone shaping.
The Yamaha APX500 electric acoustic guitar is steeped in the family tradition of superb playability, stunning looks and strong amplified tone. With a spruce top and nato back and sides, the APX 500 is the ideal guitar for those looking for a solid, reliable performance electro-acoustic.
A simple, effective 1-way under-saddle pickup system provides the tone, complemented by the System 55TA preamp with 3-band EQ and built-in tuner.
To produce its warm tone and even bass response, the Yamaha CPX700 acoustic electric guitar features a unique body size, slightly smaller than a full-size jumbo, for the perfect combination of sound, looks and comfort. The guitar features a solid spruce top and nato back and sides and produces a bright, richly textured sound - one that, thanks to the solid spruce top, will mature with age.
The 1-way pickup is matched to the System 56 preamp, featuring our ultra-musical 3-band EQ and adjustable mid frequency control for powerful, versatile tone-shaping. Like all the other CPX and APX guitars, an integrated tuner is always available.
At the top of the APX range, the Yamaha APX900 is equipped with the new 3-way A.R.T. pickup system, the result of years of experience in electro-acoustic design and the key to the most natural electro-acoustic sound imaginable. With a high-grade flamed maple back and sides and a solid spruce top, it delivers a bright, mature tone, with a punchy projection and powerful sustain.
The Yamaha unique 3-way pickup system is coupled with the System 57 preamp that allows independent control over the main, bass and treble pickups and features our performance tuned 3-band EQ and on-board chromatic tuner.

Yamaha Guitars
Here at Andy's Music, we have one of the most complete selections of Yamaha guitars available on the web. We've been selling and servicing Yamaha guitars since 1977, and they are one of our best selling - and sounding - guitars. Let's talk about some of our best selling guitars, and find out why they're popular with customers.
When most people think of Yamaha guitars, they think of guitars in the $200 - $400 price range, but Yamaha makes guitars costing thousands of dollars. The Yamaha LL16 handcrafted acoustic is a good example. It features all solid wood construction, comes with hard case, and sells for $899.99! It has to be the bargain of the century.
The Yamaha LL16 Handcrafted acoustic guitar has a solid Engelmann Spruce top and solid Rosewood back and sides. It also features a new non-scalloped bracing design that delivers a beautiful and well balanced tone. Choice materials and Yamaha’s unique ability to blend traditional skills with advanced manufacturing make the Yamaha LL16 an exceptional guitar at a price that’s hard to beat. Now let's jump to the other end of the price scale and take a brief look at another popular Yamaha guitar.
The new Yamaha FG700S acoustic guitar is an excellent choice for a guitarist who's just starting, or someone wanting to move up from a lesser quality guitar. It sounds very good because it has a solid spruce top. A solid top instrument will sound better - most often - than a guitar with a plywood top, and it will also improve in sound quality and volume over time, if it's played.
In addition to the solid spruce top, the FG700S features Nato (part of the mahogany family) back and sides, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, black and white body binding, diecast tuning machines and a natural finish. The FG700S is a lot of guitar for $199 and it has a Limited Lifetime Warranty! Click the link above and check it out.

When most people think of Yamaha guitars, they think of guitars in the $200 - $400 price range, but Yamaha makes guitars costing thousands of dollars.

Yamaha Guitars And Electronic Keyboards
Many people know about Yamaha electronic keyboards and guitars today, but it wasn't always so in the past. Yamaha began over one hundred years ago when a young entrepreneur named Torakusu Yamaha set out to craft a high-quality reed organ. Before long, the company he founded had not only gone on to manufacture Japan's first piano, it had also gained recognition abroad: In 1904, a Yamaha piano and organ were awarded an Honorary Grand Prize at the St. Louis World's Fair.
From these auspicious beginnings, Yamaha grew to become one of the best-loved manufacturers of musical instruments in the world. And as it grew, the company capitalized on a unique heritage of artisanship and technological know-how to diversify into an astoundingly wide range of products and services.
Today, Yamaha is a leader in businesses ranging from musical instruments and audio & video products to information technology products, new media services, home furnishings, auto components, specialty metals, music education and resort facilities. Yet, true to their musical origins, no matter what business they take on -- or what country they do business in -- they seek to remain perfectly attuned to a set of common values that define the World of Yamaha.
