Yamaha targets entry-level players with colourful Storia line
Last month, Yamaha dipped into its archives to revive the FG Red Label Acoustic line. The Japanese brand is now focusing on entry-level players with Storia, a set of acoustic-electric guitars that score high marks on aesthetics and playability.
Looks-wise, the three-model range – Storia I, II and III – stands out with stylish colour combinations. A closer look reveals beginner-friendly features such as comfortable string heights, a slim neck and smooth fingerboard edges.

The models come in Yamaha’s FS (Concert) body shape, each featuring mahogany back and sides, a nato neck and a walnut fingerboard. They differ, however, in terms of top woods, body finishes, colours on the inside and sonic character. Here are the details:
Storia I:
Solid Sitka spruce top, off-white finish
Inside colour of light blue
Clear, rich sound
Storia II:
Solid mahogany top, natural finish
Inside colour of ultramarine
Warm, well-balanced sound
Storia III:
Solid mahogany top, chocolate-brown finish
Inside colour of wine red
Warm, well-balanced sound
In terms of electronics, each instrument is stocked with Yamaha’s SRT passive undersaddle pickups, which produce a “warm and natural-sounding [amplified] acoustic tone”, according to the company.
