The Yamaha FG830 dreadnought acoustic guitar delivers powerful, full-bodied tone and premium appointments for today's most discerning players. Featuring a solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides, the FG830 pumps out robust low end, sparkling highs and improved sustain. Yamaha's newly developed scalloped bracing pattern provides an ideal acoustic structure, enabling the top board to vibrate freely for maximum resonance while maintaining durability.

Solid Spruce Top Unleashes Robust, Balanced Tone

The FG830's solid spruce top is a tonewood of choice for acoustic guitars, prized for its strength, light weight and ability to produce a broad range of overtones. When paired with rosewood back and sides, the spruce top helps generate a robust, balanced tone with tight lows, warm mids and shimmering highs. The spruce and rosewood combination also provides greater depth and improved sustain.

Scalloped Bracing Enhances Projection and Playability

Yamaha's engineers developed an innovative scalloped bracing pattern for the FG830 using cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology. The non-scalloped braces provide durability while scalloped braces enable the top board to vibrate freely, producing a louder, stronger sound in the low to mid ranges. The hybrid bracing also enhances playability, making the FG830 highly responsive to a light touch.

Premium Appointments and Yamaha Craftsmanship

From its abalone soundhole rosette and binding to its satin-finished mahogany neck, the FG830 exudes premium appointments and Yamaha's legendary craftsmanship. The slim neck profile with rounded fret ends provides a comfortable playing feel for intricate fingerstyle work or aggressive strumming.
