The Yamaha JR1 is the original 3/4-size member of the FG family, offering the same traditional Western body style in a more compact and portable package. Perfect for young learners, travelers, or anyone who wants a small guitar that doesn’t sacrifice tone, the JR1 combines playability and durability with Yamaha’s renowned build quality.

A genuine spruce top paired with meranti back and sides delivers a balanced, articulate sound, while the shorter 21-1/4" scale length makes fretting and chord changes easier for smaller hands. With its smooth nato neck, Japanese rosewood fingerboard, and comfortable profile, it provides an inviting playing experience right out of the box. The JR1 is finished with tasteful appointments including a tortoise pickguard, two-line black rosette, and black body binding.

Whether used as a student’s first guitar, a travel companion, or a convenient couch strummer, the JR1 is a versatile and accessible instrument that brings Yamaha’s FG tone and feel to a smaller format — and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music. Includes a Yamaha gig bag for easy transport.
