Thank you, sir...I'm a professional busker who was lucky enough to be gifted a black FG800 recently in New Zealand Hitchhiking.. the driver took me fishing heard my life story and Boom.. It does need setting up so I'll need to head to Kuala Lumpur for that, I'm in a smaller town in Maosyaia

Yes they are quite good, Yamaha make good guitar's I'v found over the years, I recently had a friend bring his to me ( for appraisal ) and it sounded good, so I made a bone nut and saddĺe for it, put them in with new strings, and Now it's sounds great, almost as good as my FG 830 cutaway, I thought the Frets were fine so I left 'em alone 😊😊

Sounds great. What does setting it up cost?

@TheGuitarDoctor-zu3gs 17 күн бұрын

A basic setup includes: truss rod adjust, saddle height adjustment, saddle intonation adjustment, fingerboard cleaning, fret polish, nut slot cut to proper depth, nut slots lubricated, tuners properly tensioned and restring. This costs $75 (on sale right now for $50) plus the cost of strings unless you supply the strings you want.

I have an FS800 and I think it is pretty good. I play it a lot even though I have Martin and Gibsons

What guitar would you suggest for a beginning player? I have always heard that Yamahas are very popular for beginners because of the quality and the price. Do you have a favorite beginner guitar?

@TheGuitarDoctor-zu3gs 11 ай бұрын

I have favorites, but it really depends on the student and what type of music they are interested in. Folks will only practice if they are playing songs they enjoy. For acoustic music (steel string), Yamaha acoustics are hard to beat in this price range. Under $250, I would suggest the Yamaha FS800 as it has a smaller body size compared to the one above and is more comfortable to play (made from the same or similar woods).

It costs $330 here. Where $225 is a dream price. I just bought one.

I keep hearing 'NAto' .Not sure if that's actually ' Nyatoh' which is a south east Asian tropical wood?

@drguitar001 6 ай бұрын

Nato, often referred to as "eastern mahogany" is a wood grown in southeast Asia with similar properties to Mahogany in look and tone. It is not actually related to mahogany though but makes a fine, strong tonewood.

As I like to tell people about saddles and nuts, the fit is more significant than the material. If a plastic saddle or nut is properly fit with a good height etc. the material might not matter that much. In my experience with the FG 830 neither is true. Originally I found that rather concerning then I realized that Yamaha expects owners to replace the saddle and the nut to their own specifications and that is their way to keep the cost down. I'm very happy with my Yamaha FG830. I yern for a Red Label FG 5 but I really don't need one.
