Storia II: a modern acoustic with a bold style
The Yamaha Storia II is part of a series designed to offer an inspiring acoustic guitar, both accessible and rewarding, where aesthetics matter as much as playing pleasure. Its "Natural" identity and ultramarine interior immediately set it apart, while retaining Yamaha's DNA: coherent craftsmanship, meticulous finish, and a consistent experience from the living room to the first stages.
Who is it for, and what styles?
With its Concert format and comfortable neck, the Storia II is well suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking a comfortable acoustic, as well as for experienced musicians looking for a second guitar with a distinct character. It excels in pop, folk, chanson, and pick-based accompaniment, while remaining very enjoyable for fingerpicking thanks to its balance and warm response.
Sound
The combination of a solid mahogany top and mahogany back/sides delivers a sound signature focused on warmth, with present mids and a very musical "woody" tone. The Concert format promotes a natural balance between clarity and depth, with controlled projection and ideal dynamics for both accompaniment and fingerstyle playing. When plugged in, the guitar relies on a Yamaha passive pickup under the saddle, convenient for capturing string attack and articulation in amplified settings without complex adjustments.
