Product code: FG820NTII | ID: 393223
Yamaha’s FG line has been in constant production since the mid 60s and is now something of a minor classic. Yamaha’s take on the dreadnought, the FG (presumably for Folk Guitar) is a great amalgamation of good design, excellent production standards and fantastic value for money.
This FG820 model represents a step up from the 800 model. As well as having the solid Spruce top, this model has Mahogany sides and back for a stronger, warmer tone. The solid Spruce top allows the full and large sound of the dreadnought shape to resonate and vibrate properly when played, giving a balanced and loud tone that can handle chordal strumming and delicate fingerpicking equally well. Elsewhere, the body binding has been updated to cream plastic for a more upmarket look.
Inside the soundhole, the bracing on the guitar’s top has been scalloped according to new developments to improve the sound, tightness and response.
This guitar is a good buy for someone looking for an affordable dreadnought that will improve sonically in the years to come.
