Yamaha FG830 Acoustic Guitar – Warm, Rich and Ready to Play
Why we love it
The Yamaha FG730 was one of our most popular acoustic guitars, thanks to its excellent build quality, great playability and beautifully warm tone. The new FG830 takes everything that made the FG730 so beloved and adds even more richness, improved response and a refined feel. It’s a stunning instrument that’s easy to fall in love with.
A Rich, Resonant Upgrade to a Classic
The Yamaha FG830 delivers powerful projection and volume with a rich, warm character. Whether you're playing live, recording in the studio or enjoying a relaxed session at home, this guitar offers excellent tone and feel across all settings.
Thanks to its solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides, the FG830 has strong clarity and lovely harmonic overtones. Yamaha’s newly developed scalloped bracing enhances the low and mid-range response, giving it a fuller sound and greater resonance.
