"If you banish the desire for any real bass thump, there’s a lot of enjoyment to be had in the sounds you can coax out of this thing": Yamaha JR1 acoustic guitar review

YamahaJR1 review.

What is it?

The Yamaha JR1 is a half-sized, miniature dreadnought-style acoustic guitar. There we go, review done. Joking aside, this little strummer provides plenty of bang for its buck. Yamaha invented the JR, or Junior, range to target two players: the typically small beginner and the travel guitarist. By being an affordable ½-sized guitar, it ticks both of those boxes with aplomb.
