Product Information

Combining quality and affordability to achieve the golden medium is not an easy task, especially when you have dozens and dozens of competitors trying to do the same. One way or another, there needs to be some form of a sacrifice made, either in tonewood or hardware. The success of a product depends on where the company decides to economize and Yamaha seems to manage and find a line between affordable, good quality and cheap, bad quality products. Fortunately enough, they tend to not cross the line over to the cheap side and that is obvious with FG820 which brings good material, great sound and build for a reasonable price. Comparisons to Martin: Some guitarists have compared the FG820 favorably to Martin guitars, noting its similar sound and playability. Yamaha has been producing their FG acoustics for over 50 years and their expertise made it possible to create products that are affordable to the mass public. Yamaha delivers good quality, great sounding and affordable product with their FG820. No matter whether you are a beginner or an experience player, this one might be a great fit for your needs. Build

It has the rich tones and excellent projection, which can be heard throughout the room. Whether you’re playing alone or performing a gig, you will enjoy using the guitar without the worry of it being drowned out by other noises in the environment. Robust Strength and Durability It also comes with the excellent body and fingerboard binding with a cream plastic. The beautiful colors give it the upgraded look without scrimping on its durability. Regardless of how long you play it for, it will stay in tune and provide the excellent tones. To enhance the FG820, players have found that making certain modifications can greatly improve its performance. Customizing the FG820 allows musicians to personalize their instrument and optimize its sound.It’s not worth really comparing this guitar to some of the higher end Yamahas, because that is not what this guitar is for. Beginners really should just determine which sound they like best when shopping around. What makes the FG820 from its predecessors is its newly-developed scalloped bracing design, which gives off the authentic sound with well-balanced tones that doesn’t sacrifice its strength. The finger board is also pretty durable, as Yamaha uses a cream plastic. It does not seem to be anything out of the ordinary compared to other options out there. Delivering the perfect combination of quality and affordability, this guitar is perfectly positioned for the beginner guitarist, however, players of all abilities can appreciate the sophisticated warm tonality on offer. Yamaha Craftsmanship 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.

This newest range has a number of pretty nice features that will make people satisfied overall. Not only does it have the best overall tone ever, but the playability and quality has been tweaked as well. Here is a closer look at some of the specifics. Da ich nun meine Dritte Gitarre von Yamaha gekauft habe, wollte ich mal eine Lanze brechen für Yamaha Gitarren aus der chinesischen Produktion. Upgrading the bridge pins to brass and replacing the saddle with real bone are modifications that can greatly enhance the performance of the Yamaha FG820, making it a worthwhile investment for musicians looking for improved sound quality. Featuring superb projection and volume with a warm, rich tone, the FG820 makes a great full size acoustic guitar both for those starting out and those upgrading from smaller beginner models.When looking at the different models of Yamahas, it can be somewhat overwhelming. The company offers a number of options, and there are slight differences with each one. Since every single guitar has a different price, it maybe difficult to determine which one fits best. The guitar does a pretty good job on the lower end of range, but it does struggle a little bit with high range sounds. If a person is wanting to play a guitar in a higher range, they might need to look elsewhere for a model that might be a little bit better sounding. When comparing the FG820 to other Yamaha guitars, some key differences can be noted. Firstly, the FG820 has a dreadnought body shape, which offers a powerful and balanced tone. Additionally, the FG820 is known for its affordability, making it a popular choice among beginners and intermediate players. Because laminated wood is composed of many planks or layers bonded together with glue, it does not vibrate in the same way solid wood does. Glued planks don’t move together as solid wood does, so they struggle against the strings. The sound is monotonous, inharmonic, and rapid decay as a result of this. USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.

Value: The FG820 offers great value for its price, providing a professional-quality instrument at an affordable cost. Yamaha is well known for its quality instruments, most especially their guitars. The FG series has been around for over 50 years, still focusing on excellent quality in all aspects of acoustic guitars. When comparing the FG820 to other guitars, guitarists have noted its bright and balanced sound, as well as its craftsmanship and value. The FG820 holds its own against other guitars in its price range, offering a high-quality build and excellent playability. You can choose between five different colors and two sizes. May it be dreadnought or concert, or for left-handed people, you will find the perfect FG820 suitable for your needs. Warm Sound and Outstanding Quality TonesThe new FG range from Yamaha manage to deliver premium acoustic guitar feel with a very low price tag. The FG820-12 is a superb 12 string guitar that allows players to take their first steps into the reqarding world of 12-string guitars without having to spend more money. The 12-string guitar is a master at creating a rich sound owing to ‘paired’ strings that are tuned an octave apart. I’ve been around Yamaha guitars lovers for years (I played a lot of them too) and got caught up in the debate about the F830, FG820, and FG800. That’s why I decided to take all three instruments for a spin and provide you with my findings. One result of this unique approach is a totally new scalloped bracing pattern. It gives our FG800 Series more volume, more projection, more low end and a bigger tone for the player - everything we set out to do. In addition, the new bracing pattern moves the resonant centre much closer to the middle of the guitar, with a big impact on both the tone and the feel to the player. 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.

This analysis led to the development of the new scalloped bracing pattern, a new and ideal acoustic structure that maintains the durability of the top board while bringing out the most sound the Yamaha FG has to offer. 50 Years of History If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows: Last but not the least, you get the excellent value with the Yamaha FG820. It comes at a price range of beginner guitars but with its fantastic specs, you receive more compared to models and brands of the similar cost. Unser Bassmann spielt seit über 20 Jahren eine Yamaha LL6 aus Taiwan, die ich immer sehr bewundert hatte wegen ihrer Ausgewogenheit und den warmen, klaren Bässen. 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.

As a professional guitar player and recording studio owner, I had the chance to work with artists owning the different versions of the Yamaha guitars from the FG series. No matter how long they have been in the business, Yamaha continues to improve and adapt to the modern guitarist while still retaining the classic features FG is known for.
