Yamaha FG820 Folk Acoustic Guitar

Perfect for beginners up to pros, the FG820 will keep you playing for hours. Get a bright, lively tone from the solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides.

The FG has louder and stronger sound in the low- to mid-ranges, thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology developed by the Yamaha R&D Division. Yamaha's engineers have achieved this sound by utilizing analysis and simulation to arrive at the best bracing design without depending on tradition or guesswork. This analysis led to the development of the scalloped bracing pattern, an ideal acoustic structure that maintains the durability of the top board while bringing out the most sound the Yamaha FG has to offer.

50 Years of History

The history of Yamaha's FG series started in 1966 with the release of the FG180 and FG150. Over the 50 years since its introduction, they have developed and produced several generations of FG -- all of which have made FG the ideal acoustic for contemporary players. In all, there have been over 200 FG models since 1966.

Made in Yamaha

Every aspect of an FG is crafted to make a better guitar. From painstakingly cured and dried woods to beautiful hand-sprayed finishes and detailed quality control checks each and every FG is made to be a lifelong partner.

I bought the Yamaha FG 820 about a week or so ago and this is the absolute best sounding most beautiful guitar in the world that i feel cannot be surpassed by any other. The action is incredibly smooth and easy to play and the set up right out of the box was phenominal. I wished i could have gotten a hold on one of these guitars a long time ago it is just amazing. The spund and action are every bit as good as all the high dollar guitars if not better and you just cannot go wrong.
