F280 Acoustic Guitar – Natural Finish, 6-String Full-Size Guitar with Spruce Top & Rosewood Fretboard, Ideal for Beginners & Intermediate Players

Best guitar in segment. Nice built and finish, lightweight. Tone is deep and pleasant. Base is perfect and smoothly boomed. Easy to hold and use , thigh placement is good too . Strings are of good quality. I wish I got more accessories with it. In short best guitar i'ave baught in this price.

Yamaha has done a great job by manufacturing this decent, entry level dreadnought acoustic guitar aimed at the beginner level. I have been using the Yamaha F210 (very old model, purchased back in 2014) and did a quick comparison between the two. F280 produces a crispy and resonant sound almost similar to its higher priced brothers in the entry level segment, but lacks detailing in its design. The finishing is also not upto the mark and uses a black matte paint for binding the edges with slight imperfections(pictures shown) instead of layering. If you are on a tight budget, you may go for it, but if detailing and better tone is a concern, then the F310 will be a good choice. Overall, it is the best choice among acoustic guitars at this price. Also for buyers, I suggest you to buy a guitar case for storage and prevent contact with moisture as it can affect the sound quality in the long run. Edit after 1 month usage: I find Yamaha guitars manufactured now in India are not upto the mark regarding quality(My old F210 was manufactured in Indonesia). The black paint used to bind the edges have started fading off (pictures attached), which were not encountered in the F210 even after years of usage.

My dream come true moment its a good guitar in budget i know its too much for many people and are searching for good reviews so here it is. From a beginner to a beginner i bought this 3 years ago just to set an impression in college but this becomes my love its a very good guitar with good strings and all . I have only changed the strings once coz its good to change time to time . Frets got a little rust not like a pure rust but soem blackness freets mattel parts which devide the frets only got the rust. Size is big if you dont have enough space or your hands are small you can have difficulty so you should also remember the size . In the end its a great guitar under 8k from agood brand yamaha beast brand in this category

Good product , good finish , good for beginners

The yamaha F280 is a very good guitar for beginners but the seller here can't seem to understand the concept of fair trading, I waited so long for this sale for the price to go down and even after someone else (in the review section you'll find it ) said that they had to place the order 4 times in order to get a non-damaged product they still sent me a damaged one and there isn't even an option available for replacement just return and refund , great service man

I like the build quality, tuning good, easy to hold, easy to play for beginners and sounds good.. over all it's good and fine!!

Nice guitar with great sound

Bought this guitar for my wife as birthday present . She enjoys playing it . The quality of sound is too good for the price point. Beginners will fall in love with this . YAMAHA never disappoints .
