  • The quality, sound, playability, workmanship and price is shockingly nice!
Style: Acoustic Size: Dreadnought Color: Tobacco Sunburst Set: Guitar Only
I was very surprised by the quality of the Yamaha FG830. Although I have numerous guitars, I've never even considered buying a Yamaha. I am amazed at the level of finish and quality of an instrument at this price-point . In fact, I'm floored by the value and how nice this guitar plays and sounds. I'm sure the more expensive Yamaha s' are even nicer, but I think I made the best decision based on budget concerns. I am in the process of replacing the urea nut and saddle with bone, which I've head makes an improvement, along with adding my own under-saddle pickup. If your your looking to buy a guitar for less than $400.00, this is it. You'll probably be just as satisfied as I am. ... show more

  • Incredible beginner guitar
Style: Acoustic Size: Dreadnought Color: Natural Set: Guitar Only
I started playing October 2023 and am still at it, and I attribute much of that year 1 success to buying the right beginner guitar - this one. After a month I took it to a luthier for a proper setup which is something recommended for all guitars. I also have a Yamaha FG800 and Fannin acoustic, the sound from the FG830 is so rich, deep and pleasing it blows those away. At year 2 I was going to buy something a little more expensive, really don't know if I'll do that now. I would recommend the Amazon basic guitar stand and the Yamaha case to go with it (only if traveling). I'm using D'Addario .012-053 Phosphor Bronze strings, I've tried smaller gauge strings but prefer the .012 Light Gauge sound. Only other thing you need starting is the lemon oil for the fret board. Just don't skip the luthier (not Guitar Center). In summary I think this guitar is the best beginner guitar you can get at the price point and that it sounds great. ... show more

  • Good guitar!

Quality guitar. Yamaha makes consistently good products. Needs a set up for my personal liking but other than that, it sounds good.

  • Wow, Just Wow, for the Money
Style: Acoustic Size: Concert Color: Tobacco Sunburst Set: Guitar Only
I went for the much reduced "Used – acceptable," and the thing was immaculate. There were quite a few scratches on the cellophane protector to the pick guard! I have a solid wood Yamaha LS 16, also a wonderful deal from Amazon warehouse, but almost 3 times the price. That one was worth every penny but this one is an amazing deal. I had to do even less to make it sound great and play smooth as butter. A slightly shorter scale length makes this easier on the fingers, and the fingerstyle clarity and comfort see me reaching for this sometimes over the Gibson J 45. Great practice and travel guitar, though if you do want a Boomer, I suggest looking at the FG. ... show more

  • A Good Guitar for this price range
Style: Acoustic-Electric Size: Dreadnought Color: Natural Set: Guitar Only
I bought this Yamaha FGX 830C from Amazon (through Spotlight Music Store) on 6/1/22. It arrived in perfect condition in a single cardboard box and completely packed in bubble wrap. My first impression was that it is a beautiful guitar. I could see no defects whatsoever in the finish. The neck is arrow straight and the set up was just fine for me right out of the box. It is made in China but I believe the craftsmanship is excellent. I tuned it up with my clip on tuner and then checked the onboard tuner and found it to be very close. Right away I noticed that even though the tone is good--it was not quite to my liking. This is subjective, but it seemed a little tinny and lacking in "punch" or volume for a dreadnaught. After reading many, many reviews I decided to change the saddle to bone and installed new Elixer strings after about one month. The original strings felt rough to me and are noisy when doing slides. As many other reviewers mentioned; Yamaha could have used a bone nut and saddle and better strings for little to no increase in price. I did not change the nut. Seems like too much work for me to attempt, and not worth the effort. I do believe the new bone saddle and strings did improve the overall sound quality and tone. Maybe not as much as some reviewers claim--but, a noticeable difference. I did also change the plastic bridge pins for Rosewood pins. It does sound good plugged in and the neck is very smooth and easy playing. I would like to give it a 5 star rating but just can't quite get it there because of what it seems to lack in tone and projection. ( Another matter I want to mention is that I am not sure if this model with laminate Rosewood back and sides sounds any better than the other model down which has Mahogany laminate back and sides. The difference is $200. But both use laminates, so is there really that much difference?) ... show more
