## Description

Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing 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. Yamaha’s engineers have achieved this sound by utilizing analysis and simulation to arrive at the best bracing design without depending on tradition or guesswork. 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.

Review: After a string change this thing sounds beautiful. - Lots of sustain, plenty of volume when strummed hard. The construction feels solid to last a long time.The strings it came with were not good.
Review: I just like it . Value for the money is reasonable . beginners or professionals alike will surely like it. Intonation stays long and hopefully stays as it is just as long as it is being taken care of . From action comes playability which any guitar player will enjoy .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: my old yamaha drives me nuts, because of the buzz sounds with the strings. If I buy this one will it buzz?**
A: This is my second Yamaha guitar.  I've found that the Yamaha guitars are terrific as far as their overall quality,  but they need a professional setup.  The bridge tends to be too high and the truss rod needs a slight adjustment.  Take it to a quality luthier who will charge around $50 for a pro setup.  Afterwards,  it will sound and play like a $800 (or more) instrument.

**Q: Does anybody have a fairly accurate measurement of the neck when measured at the nut? Thanks!**
A: 43mm = the nut width = width of fretboard at the nut.

**Q: Is it comfortable?**
A: This was my first guitar.  I found it very comfortable but then I bought a Taylor mini.  Each has its place I still play then both

**Q: Is it high or low action?**
A: In my opinion it's extremely HIGH. It was so high that I took it to my guitar luthier who said " it's unplayable like that" He had to shave off a little of the bridge, adjust the Nut grooves and dress a couple of high frets at the 12th to get it in reasonable shape and for myself to be happy with it. The bass E is 2mm above the 12th fret now so within bounds. She plays and sounds  okay but it's not my favourite guitar by a long chalk to be honest. Spends more time in its case!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***T on 8 August 2023*

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.
