Description

Originally crafted in Japan during the early '70s, this steel-string acoustic guitar is a testament to Yamaha's dedication to producing quality instruments that stand the test of time. This model was designed as a folk guitar, making it a perfect companion for both seasoned strummers and aspiring musicians alike.

While some cosmetic wear is present, including minor scratches and dings that add to its vintage charm, it remains a fully functional and reliable instrument. Whether you're performing on stage or strumming by the campfire, the Yamaha S-50A is ready to deliver its rich tonal palette with medium action playability.
