Product Information

While this might be billed as an affordable guitar, it certainly does not look like something that is fairly inexpensive. It is a very classic looking guitar that has a traditional design made famous by the FG series. The glossy finish and the natural overall colors on the guitar really bring it altogether. Comparisons to Martin: Some guitarists have compared the FG820 favorably to Martin guitars, noting its similar sound and playability. An acoustic guitar can sometimes be a little bit hard to hear, especially when it comes to cheaper models. The rich tones have really good projection overall, which is positive for someone trying to learn guitar for the first time. They will be able to hear exactly what they are playing. It also helps for those people who are performing with the guitar. The sound is going to come through instead of getting drowned out. Speaking of the strings, this is about the only part of the guitar that is a minor disappointment. They aren’t terrible strings, but they certainly could be better when looking at the quality of the rest of the guitar. Yes, they can always be replaced, but it is a bit of a nuisance when buying a brand-new guitar. Beginners might not notice that much, but those who are a little bit more skilled might be able to tell. Whenever a person is buying a guitar, the actual sound is going to be examined quite a bit. Since this is more of a budget type of guitar, the sound quality is only going to be compared to other guitars in that sort of price range.

Finally, it is hard to beat the pricing for this guitar when compared the other beginner guitars. Not only is it from a true name brand, but the parts are going to be hard to beat as well. One of the dreaded sounds with any guitar is buzzing. It usually happens with cheaper models, but it can be fixed fairly easily. Most of the time, all it really takes is an upgrade in strings. Once the current strings that come with the guitar wear out, think about investing in higher quality strings later on. It is going to cost a little bit more, but the buzzing issue will not be a problem. A new 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.

Since every single guitar has a different price, it maybe difficult to determine which one fits best. Combining our luthiers' experience with state of the art structural acoustic analysis, we developed an even deeper understanding of how internal structure affects a guitar's voice, and how the original FG180 sounded so incredible. From there, we engineered a new design which both captures and enhances that classic tone.Let’s first talk about how amazing the guitar looks first glance. While it may be darker than what’s appeared in the photos, it’s what actually makes the FG820 look more attractive.
