    • Good quality as usual from Yamaha
Style: Acoustic-Electric Size: Dreadnought Color: Natural Set: Guitar Only
I chose Yamaha because my older brother along with my other siblings bought me my first guitar. Yamaha has never let me down and I still to this day am amazed at both the sound quality and build for the more budget price you get. I would even argue that Yamahas acoustics sound better than some more premium Taylor. Although I might be a bit biased when I say that I don’t like the sound of Taylor’s in general. That being said, this guitar in particular is different from my first none electric acoustic. And it’s not just because they put some electric guts in it. My first one is as the FG800. This one is a step not only by making it electric but also because it has laminated rosewood rather than the laminated foewood. The difference in quality is noticeable. It’s still rich and warm but has a brighter clearer crisp sound especially in the mid to highs. I love because I brought this for the purpose of playing on stage, and having a brighter more crisp sound will it come through the lows and with every other instrument that’s plugged in. The only thing that was unusual that I notice was that the control panel takes AA batteries rather than a typical 9v. It’s not a big deal, personally I prefer 9vs because it’s one less battery I have to worry about. The only thing I wonder about though is if two AAs will last longer then one 9v. Who knows. Other then that. I think this is an excellent guitar. Price wise I would nock it down 4 star than 5. It’s will good for the money but I think it’s worth closer to something like 450.00 or 500.00 ... 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

    • An amazing guitar for beginners. One of the best guitars for the money!
Style: Acoustic Size: Dreadnought Color: Tobacco Sunburst Set: Guitar Only
I bought a Yamaha F335 for $150 US to learn how to play guitar. It sounded just fine to me at the beginning since I did not have a trained ear. I struggled to practice and make chords due to the action of that guitar (distance between the neck and the string). I practiced for two months daily until I decided to upgrade my guitar without expanding too much money. I was between this guitar FG830 and the Seagull S6. I decided to buy the Yamaha one due to the fact I saved $100 dollars and I like the looks of this terrific guitar. When I played it for the first time, I realized that the F335 sounds like crap compared with the pretty tone that the rosewood produces. The sound quality and sustain are incredible! Also, I have felt it is easier to play because I think this one has lower action (still, be sure to set up a new guitar to have a lower section in a guitar shop), better sound to distinguish among chords/notes, and a little more separation between strings (I have big hands). Lastly, I notice how more beautiful the aesthetics of this instrument is compared to the cheaper versions. It is really well crafted in comparison with my last guitar. I am more motivated to keep practicing and learning due to this musical instrument. ... show more

    • Wow! Yamaha does it again!!!!!! Too good to be true.
Style: Acoustic Size: Dreadnought Color: Tobacco Sunburst Set: Guitar Only
Oh boy...where do I start? THE PACKAGING: I received this guitar in its original box with no shipping box to support it. I was lucky Yamaha packed their guitar well. THE CONSTRUCTION: As for the guitar. I was blown over with the beauty and detail. A pearl inlay around the sound hole, a pearl like brown pick guard and even the YAMAHA logo in a pearl like finish was unexpected to see. This dreadnaught size seems slightly larger than my Yamaha F325D I submitted my earlier review on. The sunburst finish is much darker and far more appealing than the sunburst color on the F325D. The sides and back are mahogany and the top is a SOLID spruce. The tuners, bridge, saddle, nut, strings and finish are in line with most Yamaha guitars. The fretboard surprisingly has pearl like inlaid markers on a rosewood background. These markers are MUCH smaller than the standard size ones on my other guitars. I have to say it looks AWESOME and richer. In poor light, however, you may need to squint. This guitar is sooooo beautiful I’m afraid to take it out of my case at times. THE SOUND: Amazing. As advertised, a better sustain, a more room filling sound, and well intonated despite many reviews which state otherwise recommending a luthier. Are you kidding me?? If you’re expecting the intonation of a Gibson, THEN SAVE UP AND BUY A GIBSON. This is absurd. The intonation on this guitar is spot on with the compensated saddle along with the die cast tuners and stunningly beautiful bridge. SUMMARY: This guitar clearly is an upgrade to my cheaper (but still modest priced) Fender and Yamaha guitars. As a proud owner of a Yamaha YDP-163R digital piano, the detail in Yamaha wood selection, extensive sound R/D and it’s reputation on stage and abroad just made me a proud owner of this classic FG series guitar, the oldest and best selling series worldwide. Trust me, YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS CLASSIC GEM OF A PRECISION INSTRUMENT , built with pride by a world-class manufacturer. I may sound like I work for Yamaha but I only wish I did. None of their instruments from pianos to guitars ever disappointed me and shouldn’t dissappoint you. ... show more

    • Fantastic!
Style: Acoustic Size: Dreadnought Color: Tobacco Sunburst Set: Guitar Only
Very well made nicely and securley packaged. Would not order something like this ordinarily but my local store didnt have one and I was pleasantly suprised to see it delivered ontime and in perfect condition. This guitar is a noticiable step up from my lesser Yamaha. They do make a good guitar.
