I couldn’t be happier with my new FG820 guitar.
I’m not an accomplished player– sort of an intermediate– but I know my way around acoustic guitars a bit.
I’m not wealthy and it would be silly to consider a $2,000 guitar, and besides I’m admittedly not such a serious player. I play for the enjoyment, and in hopes of getting better and better. This guitar is exactly right for someone like me.
It just arrived, and I inspected it, wiped it down, tuned it, and played it.
There are two very minor blemishes in the finish that aren’t at all critical; one is a slight wave in the lacquer finish on the top, the other is a tiny dent.
The action right out of the box is excellent. No string buzz or any other troubles with the factory setup, but very easy to apply bar chords to, and a nice light touch with the rather light strings.
“But what about the sound?”, you ask.
Very bright, capable of real loudness, beautiful sustain and projection, very balanced throughout the frequency range– as everyone has already said. For $300, my goodness! This does not sound like an inexpensive guitar.
Being mostly mahogany, the guitar is surprisingly light in weight, but I’m accustomed to heavier woods like rosewood and I know it’s no reflection on quality.
The mahogany back and sides, though laminate, are just gorgeous, and the neck is a very comfortable size and cross section, finished in a matte treatment for good grip. I love the ivory-colored binding and mother-of-pearl Yamaha emblem on the headstock.
If you’re like me and aren’t a professional musician, but appreciate great value and craftsmanship in a beautiful acoustic guitar, I highly recommend this Yamaha FG820. It would be a great starter guitar or for refining your skills, since its playability is so good.
For a bit over $300. Amazing.

Just got my FS820 yesterday at about 3pm. It was pretty cold so I let it warm up before tuning it. Since it came with 12s (and I usually play 11s) I tuned it flat. No problems with that. Played it for a little bit looking for the places of fret buzz and could not find any. The neck and frets are a good match for my hand and the frets are not sharp and this guitar is just straight out of the box. The strings are not to my liking but I played for over an hour last night and enjoyed the sound quite a bit. It has a nice tone and every part of the sound (highs, mids, lows) were to my liking. This is the FS so it is like a OOO and has the Autumn Burst color which is pretty nice. Although I could tell that the sides are laminate, the top is solid spruce and it sounds really good for an inexpensive guitar. On one song I was playing, “The Garden Song” it actually sounded better than my Martin JC15E. This is a nice guitar and worth the cost, it is an excellent guitar for beginners and for a travel guitar. I recommend it for anyone that wants a nice looking, sounding and playing guitar that they can keep in the living room and not be too worried about someone bumping into it. A home-run for Yamaha, and it is made in China – which is kind of mind blowing. Okay, a little later the next day I noticed that there were stress marks in the varnish below the bridge, there is no bow and no bulge and the stress marks line up to where they are not annoying so I am going to keep the guitar at this point.

Obviously not the best sounding guitar I have tried, but it was a good backup guitar. It would have been a great beginner guitar.
Sound is loud, though the neck was too sticky due to coating for me to move my hands around freely.

I had to adjust the truss rod a bit to eliminate fret buzz when I first got it, (hex wrench included) but after doing so it stays in tune and sounds great! I purchased this guitar as it had a bit smaller body than the Yamaha FG800 dreadnought that i also own. I find it much more comfortable to play as a short person. At the time of purchase, I didn’t even notice the perloid detailing in the head stock which looks very sharp. Overall, I am very pleased with the guitar and would highly recommend it.
Great sounding guitar, and a reasonable price –
I like the sunburst colour, it goes well in my living room

I’ve been playing a classical Yamaha guitar for almost 40 years, though I am very much an amateur. Recently I made the decision to get better and felt that the classical guitar style was a hindrance. So, time for a new acoustic guitar. After much online research and a few trips to the local Guitar Center store I narrowed the field to to the FG 820L and the Taylor Big Baby (a $400 + guitar). Then the other day I noticed that a FG 820L was available via the Amazon Warehouse for $100 off the listed price — was labeled as in “very good” condition. After convincing myself that I could return the guitar if its condition wasn’t up to par, I took the plunge, and I’m glad I did. The guitar arrived in a damaged box but was in mint condition. This is one beautiful guitar and is so much easier to play than my old classical guitar (which I will keep and restring back for my weird right handed friends). I know it sounds cliche but this guitar almost plays itself. It has a wonderful full resonant sound and requires very little pressure to play chords. So far the only downside is that the highs ring more than I am used to but I am sure I will get used to it. Also it is bigger and heavier than I remembered. So if you are planning on traveling around with it, that might be a factor. However, for $220, I am a very fortunate and happy customer.

This is a great guitar, especially at this price. I love the bass string especially. If you are in the market for a guitar, don’t miss this one.

Can’t go wrong with a Yamaha, and this FS850 is a beautiful edition to the F line. I also have an FG820 I alternate play with (the FG820 is the one I got on Amazon Warehouse with a tiny scratch for $100 less – great deal). I am slightly larger than average, with med-large hands (5 11). I can play either guitar easily. If I’m in my study, I play the FG – its is a bit louder and slightly easier to finger pick, and also has more mid range; its good to play in my office chair. I replaced the bridge and pins on the FG with bone (on AMZ for under $15), and it brightened the sound a bit. I also sanded the bone bridge down a little more to lower the “action” (how far you need to press down on the string to make a note). I liked it so much I picked up the FS850. The FS850 is easier to reach over to strum when on the couch, looks great, and has a warm sound which I would say is smoother and more mellow – it doesn’t have the pronounced twang the FG820 can have when doing individual notes; the all mahogany body cuts the edges. I love the finish on the FS850, and must say it FS looks much better than my blue FG. The FG might be easier for a beginner to isolate notes and finger positioning, although smaller hands would like the FS. Both are great and a bargain for the price, but the 820 (or even 800 I imagine) is fine if you are on a budget…
