WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT

Martin is renowned for producing high quality guitars, and this model is no exception, its smaller frame using less material allows the instrument to be affordable.

Yamaha is renowned for producing a range of quality instruments and introduced the FA series over 50 years ago, this means that a lot of time and experience has gone into developing the instrument.
