The Yamaha F400 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, Smoky Black is a no-fuss, great-sounding acoustic that puts feel and resonance first. Its dreadnought-style body gives you a full, rich acoustic voice with strong projection, while the ultra-thin polyurethane finish and carefully designed bracing help the top move more freely for improved sustain and response. A modern, minimalist aesthetic of no pickguard and no body binding keeps things lightweight and stage-ready, with a clean look that lets the wood do the talking.
 
Playability hits the sweet spot too. A comfortable 25" (634 mm) scale length and slightly narrower string spacing make fretting and chord changes feel natural, especially for developing players or anyone who prefers a sleeker feel. The spruce top brings clarity and sparkle, balanced by locally sourced tonewoods for the back, sides and neck. A rosewood fingerboard and bridge round out the spec for a familiar, musical touch. Built to Yamaha?s high durability standards, the F400 is a reliable everyday acoustic that's ready for practice, writing and performance.
Effortless playability
A 25" (634 mm) scale length takes the edge off string tension for a relaxed feel, while the slightly narrower string spacing helps chords fall under the fingers cleanly. The 43 mm (1 11/16") nut width hits a comfortable middle ground for most hands, and the rosewood fingerboard brings a familiar, smooth touch. It’s the kind of neck that lets you settle into long sessions without fatigue, with tidy intonation across the board and a welcoming action to match
Minimalist modern design
A clean, pickguard-free top and the absence of body binding give the F400 a sleek, contemporary vibe that puts the wood and lines front and centre. The Smoky Black body and neck finishes feel fast and organic, cutting glare under lights and keeping the guitar light on the shoulder. Subtle details like the white soundhole inlay tie the look together, while covered chrome tuners add a tidy finishing touch without stealing the spotlight
Built for daily reliability
Back, sides and neck are crafted from locally sourced tonewoods selected for stability, then finished to Yamaha’s high durability standards so the F400 can handle day-to-day playing and travel. The rosewood bridge partners with a solid, no-nonsense hardware set for consistent tuning and dependable performance. With no onboard electronics or extra switches to worry about, you get a fuss-free, ready-to-play acoustic that stays focused on sound, feel and longevity
