NAMM '16 - Yamaha FG830 and FS850 Demos

[@nellatrab]

I picked up a FS-800 for $150...WOW Loud, clear, super resonate, Superb craftsmanship and wood selection! I have a Custom Martin OM 28...this Yamaha guitar sounds louder, not as complex but close! What a deal!

[@MintStiles]

I kind of feel the same between my Martin's and "cheap" Yamaha's.

[@dirkjanklijn9949]

How about the string spacing?

[@DennisKarlsson]

Yamaha FG are really good and affordable guitars.

"Solid mahogany top, mahogany back and sides, we've got mahogany binding -- and, of course, mahogany strings".

[@artamussumatra6286]

Mick Kennedy and don't forget about the mahogany pick guard, tuners, strap button, nut, and saddle! ;))))

[@mickkennedy1344]

And mahogany neck & frets -- made from non-mahogany mahogany

[@omarsharif927]

For all our mahagony needs

[@Zarok64]

And mahogony fingers

[@pedrosoledad3141]

There is probably a label on it saying: The instrument may start to develop roots and sprout leaves. Please contact local nursery for advice on pruning.

[@nickaclaus]

For $299, the FG 830 cannot be beat.

[@lgiorgos1]

but it costs 400euros, at least in EU

[@jimgriggs2184]

Love mine.

[@markn3936]

@@jimgriggs2184 could someone give me some specifics on the 830. I'm about to purchase one. I chose it over a Epiphone Hummingbird because I want a rich sound instead of bright high end.

[@lightfoot413]

all those beautiful guitars and cant find any at any music store here..

[@MJPGuitar]

Really wanna give the fs850 a try. Looks amazing

[@tanyosua1822]

please made video comparison yamaha FG830 & Yamaha FS850

[@GuillermoCarrasco]

Great job at Yamaha this season, congrats !

[@shaixiong8870]

I played the fs850 and really enjoyed it. If i'm correct the FS are smaller models of the FG models. I'd think there would be a difference in sound considering the size but would any body with experience with both sizes recommend one over the other when it comes to sound and playability.

[@ruicarmo3468]

Hello Shai. Would you consider the FS range to be some kind of a "lesser child" of the FG´s series? I´m having trouble deciding between the two...tx

[@honestnewsnet]

I like how they say the name of the wood, but they don’t mention it’s laminate on the back of the sides. You don’t need to know that.

[@jamesianv]

I bought my FG 375s ii 30 years ago and it's still in tune...Want a new guitar but can't find one with as good tone. Maybe the store conditions I don't know.

[@larrykenney7091]

What is the model of the WAHAHA cut away with the rosewood back and side under the black one?

[@roberthancock2563]

Are they good for Rock,and blues?

[@dirkjanklijn9949]

I hear a lot of rumors about the string spacing of th FS series wich makes it not suited for fingerpicking?

[@tigerwong1093]

What about the fs820

[@debrawright6259]

Love my sand burst fs800.

[@michaellee6061]

Brp harga 830 cat away

[@arthurogle7581]

Yesterday I bought the same Yamaha FG830 I owned. It was from the shop I traded it for a Martin Dreadnought. Saw it still sitting there, and plunked down the cash for it. It's gonna be my "beater" guitar. Not really I never beat my guitars! Or allow anyone else to beat a guitar of mine. I might've even bought an FG850. Because the Martin Dread is mohogany. Sp now that I've bought the 850 I have both a spruce (Alaskan i.e.) and a mohogany guitar. Does buying the same guitar over again make me Anal Retentive?

[@ruicarmo3468]

Hello guys. Actually torn between the FG830 and the FS830. Seen the differences between the two, but at the moment I can´t try them in person. I´m having trouble deciding. What can you tell me to help me make up my mind?

[@regularMattMatt]

Rui Carmo its all about the size and volume. Fg830 has more sound than the fs830.

[@MintStiles]

Unless you really like the smaller size, you'd get more miles with a FG. If you amplify, then the FS makes more sense since it's more compact. But remember that they are all fairly deep guitars.

[@MOTORS_n_ROADS]

Can someone please suggest, how can I get FG850 in India ?

[@DopeBass]
