Yamaha Fg830 Solid Top Folk Guitar, Natural
Rich overtones and improved sustain thanks to the rosewood back and sides deliver improved sound through greater depth. The appearance, with abalone inlay around the sound hole, is more luxurious and an obvious step-up.

Whats the difference between FS830 and FG830. Will FS sound be any less just because its smaller? From the specs its just a smaller scale length and body depth. I’m intending to get a 830 just need some advice on the body size.
Scale Lenght: 650 mm (FG) -> 634mm (FS)
Body Depth: 100-118mm (FG) ->90-110mm (FS)
whats your take?
Nice video man!
Hello there, Sir! That’s a very sweet ownership review… and loved the way you take pride in handling/playing your cherished possession. 🙂
I am a beginner/novice to the acoustic guitar, in the process of acquiring one and beginning to learn. The initial suggestions for me were the Yamaha F340, while a few also mentioned the FG-800 if I could tad stretch my budget. After an “extensive and exhaustive” search for videos and resources on the web, I stumbled upon the FG-830.
It’s rave reviews, emphatic recommendations and having bagged awards galore… drifted me to seal my decision on this make. I am “absolutely-sold on buying” (oxymoron intentional!) one soon. My purchase may be an “overkill” from a beginner’s investment-perspective, but what-the-heck… this one is for keeps, and a lifetime! 😉 Thank you so much, for your short but impactful review, that further influenced my decision!
Wishing you “many countless hours of joyous strumming” with this fine instrument! 🙂
P.S.: – Please let me know the brand/make of your hardcase featured in the video. Looks like a perfect fit for the FG-830. I am from India, and I hope to find one here to accompany mine… 🙂 Thanks a bunch!
Nice review. Thanks!
I just ordered mine too. Hope to get it soon!
Nice job with the review!
Nice job with the review!
I am a beginner, Can you suggest what should I buy? Yamaha FG800 or FG830? Whats the difference?
Is this guitar good for all around music? Rock,blues,pop,country?
