Yamaha F325D Dreadnought 6-String Acoustic Guitar

The F325D is an affordable dreadnought acoustic. To keep the price low, it features cost-effective materials including laminated spruce for the top, and sapele (low-cost alternative to mahogany) for the back and sides, all of which form its traditional dreadnought body.

For an acoustic guitar with entry-level tier specs, Yamaha got a lot of mileage out of the F325D. They did this by keeping build quality up, which made the F325D feel and sound like a proper instrument – having playable action, neat fretwork, stable tuning and good tone.

Speaking of tone, the F325D has a balanced voicing, not too bright and not too warm. And since none of the frequencies are overpowering the others, it works well with many different playing and musical styles. Given its basic configuration, it doesn’t have as much in terms of projection and harmonic overtones. The upside to its laminate body is that it isn’t as prone to damage, making it a suitable beater instrument.

It is joined with a nato neck that also complies with familiar specifications, with a 25.5″ scale length and 1.6875″ nut width.

If you’re looking for an affordable dreadnought acoustic with good build quality, then this is for you.
