I like the term “deck”….keep it ! It is unique. I just ordered an FS820 in Ruby Red.

I have one and i like it. The small body 000 size is a nice alternative to dreads. It looks good and sounds good. I have some high end gibson and martins but i often grab this guitar.

For $199 I don't think there's a lot else around that can touch this guitar. Yamaha have really uped their game with the new 800 series and the ARE treated tops on the new LL6 series are also really good.

Just as long as people remember it's a 200.00 guitar and not a 1000.00 guitar.the hype on this one is way out of hand. I just got 1 of these as a backup to my Epiphone masterbuilt frontier.I odered it because there was none in my area.my masterbuilt came with a low action and it feels like a 2000.00 guitar. this 1 feels like a 200.00 dollar guitar no more no less.it sounds ok but not great and the action is very high and needs work right away. the neck is small, the guitar is a feather weight but very attractive in Natural vintage. better off buying a used more expensive guitar in my opinion. I hvae been playing over 40 years and have owned some very nice guitars in that time.

FS800 string spacing at the bridge is 2.0 inches. Not considered suitable for fingerstyle. The FG800 is 5mm+ wider, it's fine.

The bass is fine. It's the mic that you're using and the placement of it that makes the bass sound weak on this video. This guitar has plenty of bass.

This is the acoustic guitar I have. I've recorded with it and also gigged with it (with an aftermarket pickup (piezoelectric), as this guitar does not come with one). I like the slightly shorter scale length (although it's only by a half inch, and I can play the 25.5" scale length--my electric is a Telecaster) and the slightly smaller size of the body. The original strings lasted me nearly a year and a half (I know I should've changed them well before. No need to tell me), despite being brass light-gauge strings. I now play phosphor bronze mediums. Is it a nice, high-end Martin or Taylor? No, but it's also $200, which I could afford when I bought the guitar.

I bought one just like this one a month ago. Play them and look them over well, just like everything. The one I got has a very good low action. The Yamaha strings was real nice at first, but they went down hill fast. I put Martin silk and steel strings on it and helped it a lot. I also installed, for the first time on any guitar, brass bridge pins. This took the "cheep" sound and a faint buzz out of it. The assembly is a little half assed but it is a $200 guitar. Mine now sounds great, a perfect flat picking guitar. Great all around sound, well balanced. I don't think you can do better for less than $600.

The brass bridge pins are a brilliant idea. Which ones did you get?

Yes you could lol, get the 820 or the 830 ;). I find the fancier appointments seems to come with slightly better craftsmanship. Probabaly has the senior guys working on the higher priced items. In theory it's just the looks, but i find the higher numbers much better built.

The best-sounding acoustic guitars for their price. Great Guitars DO NOT HAVE TO BE expensive to sound best. So what if it is made in China? As long as you fall in love with it. What do you find in an assembly line of Fender, Taylor and Gibson here in the U.S.? Chinese and Mexicans. Go figure. Yamaha is saving us some money by out-sourcing and pay less money for manpower. peace and rock-on. Buy the FG830 Before they get discontinued.

I fell in love with mine. I had to sell my baby guild cuz It was harder to play and it didnt have a resonating sound like this one did. It will be my guitar for awhile. Then when I can I may save up for a taylor or a Martin! :)

I spent about an hour and ahalf at Guitar center tonite, I played this guitar only it was a sunburst and had a slight blemish on the top and was marked down to 175.00, mind you I played 700 dollar and up Martins,, Alverez, Mitchells, Seagull and Breedloves they had in stock, and kept coming back to this. I had the credit available and originally wanted a all mahogany Martin which would have been 1300.00 plus tax.. I left with this slightly blemed finish made in China Yamaha and Ill have no regrets! It has the right amount of mids bass and treble , plays super easy and looks great and yes, it does sing the blues!!!

I've got the FG800 matte... It is a wonderful guitar. Action must be adjusted. It is too much high from the Yamaha factory.

Not sure exactly what they were. I've swapped them out with Martin Marquis mediums. I usually use Elixirs, but this isn't a loud guitar and they can mute it a bit...
