Yamaha FG830TBS Acoustic Guitar, Solid Sitka Spruce, Rosewood, Tobacco Sunburst

One of Yamaha’s tent-pole products has always been their massively popular FG series acoustic guitars. While the FG730 was a best-seller for years, the new Yamaha FG830 acoustic guitar takes that same design several steps further and provides upgrades where needed without changing the price point. The guitar’s rosewood fingerboard, satin-finished slim neck with rounded fret edges, and abalone inlay around the sound hole beautifully compliment the Tobacco Sunburst finish. 

Of the many upgrades made for the new Yamaha FG830, arguably the most effective for daily play is the scalloped bracing which produces a much fatter and louder sound than its predecessor. Yamaha’s FG Series acoustic guitars have always been known for their low-end acoustic power. The new FG830’s rosewood back and sides and solid spruce top help to grow that tradition, making this acoustic great for rhythm work and helpful for accompanying sharper, twangy guitars. 

There’s no mistaking it, the Yamaha FG830 is a great value find for an acoustic guitar. With a comfortable and cool dreadnought body shape, a classic Tobacco Sunburst finish and features typically reserved for higher-end instruments, the Yamaha FG830 is an affordable acoustic guitar with extra-smooth playability.
