Yamaha is one of the most respected brands in the industry today and they are known for having fantastic choices when it comes to acoustic electric guitars, and this is one of these fantastic options. There are two designs to choose from when buying this guitar, the natural, simple, classic guitar design and the tobacco sunburst design. There are also two bundles that you can choose between when you purchase this guitar, you can either buy the single guitar without any accessories, or you can get a gigmaker package where you get the following: a soft case, plectrums, strap, learning CD’s and a guitar tuner.
The second product we are looking at in this head-to-head review is the Ibanez AW54CEOPN Artwood.
More about the Yamaha FX325A
If you are a beginner this is the best bundle you could ask for, it includes all of the accessories that beginners usually get discouraged looking for, since there are as many plectrum and tuner options as there are guitar options! Regardless, this guitar is made in the dreadnought body style and has a spruce top with metal guitar strings (the product also comes with an extra set of guitar strings, just in case some accidents happen!). With this quality product from Yamaha you won’t have any buzz or rattle within the body, when playing this guitar you will have a clear, rich, projected sound.
