Yamaha are renowned for their superb musical instruments. Highly respected for their Guitars, Yamaha have been
hand crafting them since the mid 1960s. Whether on stage or in the studio, chances are that a Yamaha will be there.
Yamaha Acoustic guitars were even onstage at Woodstock in 1969 and they have continued to be the first onstage
guitar for countless musicians the world over.
The Yamaha FG Junior JR2 is a great guitar. Hand crafted with younger guitarists in mind, the JR2 offers enhanced
playing comfort thanks to its shorter scale length and compact body design. Yamaha’s luthiers have designed the
JR2 to ensure that young learners remained inspired and excited about the hours spent practicing.
The JR2 is a compact acoustic guitar modelled after the renowned Yamaha FG series. Its compact size and authentic
acoustic tone make the JR2 an excellent take along, play anywhere guitar great for campfire sing-a-longs, road
