Yamaha JR2 3/4-Size Acoustic Guitar – Natural

Authentic Yamaha Acoustic Character in a Compact, Travel-Ready Size.

The Yamaha JR2 distils the familiar character of Yamaha’s FG Series into a compact 3/4-scale acoustic. Its 540 mm scale, 317 mm body width and shallow 80–90 mm depth make it easier to carry and comfortable for younger players, smaller frames, relaxed sofa practice and travel.

A spruce top is paired with mahogany-pattern UTF (Ultra-Thin Film) back and sides for a warm, traditional appearance. The JR2 remains a genuine steel-string acoustic with a standard 43 mm nut, and Yamaha includes a purpose-sized gig bag for convenient transport and storage.

Compact FG-inspired body for playing anywhere

Modeled after Yamaha’s popular FG acoustics, the JR2 uses a smaller body that is easy to hold, pack and carry. It works well as a first steel-string guitar, a travel companion or a convenient second instrument for everyday practice.

540 mm scale for a compact reach

The 21 1/4-inch scale shortens the distance between frets and reduces the instrument’s overall length to 845 mm. A 43 mm nut retains familiar acoustic-guitar spacing while the shorter neck helps make chord shapes and position changes more approachable.

Spruce top for clear, balanced acoustic tone

The spruce top gives the JR2 a clear and musical response for chord practice, sing-alongs and light fingerpicking. This JR2 uses a spruce top; players specifically seeking a solid spruce top should consider the upgraded JR2S.

Mahogany-pattern UTF back and sides

Yamaha’s Ultra-Thin Film treatment gives the back and sides an attractive mahogany-pattern appearance while keeping the compact body practical and travel friendly. Black binding and a tortoise-pattern pickguard add traditional visual detail.

Six-string steel-string acoustic setup

The JR2 is designed for steel acoustic-guitar strings and is supplied in standard tuning. It has no factory pickup, preamp or output connection, making it a straightforward unplugged instrument for practice and portable music making.

Purpose-sized gig bag included

A Yamaha gig bag is included, making the JR2 easier to carry to lessons, rehearsals, holidays and informal sessions. Yamaha also lists a hex wrench among the standard accessories.
