Yamaha makes very nice acoustic guitars on a budget. I wanted this guitar because it was small enough for me to sit and noodle when I'm sitting on the couch maybe watching TV working on a specific technique. It sounds very nice. It looks good and is a quality product. If something happened to it I would buy again.

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.

I tuned the guitar and checked the setup and everything was within Yamaha specs. The action was perfect and it plays so easily. Sounds fantastic and is a beautiful guitar. I love it!

This guitar is top notch. I purchased the same one in 2018 from another vendor. Yamaha has redesigned some things since 2018 that I was not aware of. The tuners are a little larger and work better. The neck on this guitar is reshaped and smoother. I am able to play notes that I could not play before. The sound is crisp and exceptional. It also has a strap pin that the previous version did not have. I can’t stress how much I love this guitar. Thank you Cream City music company for setting up this guitar before shipping. It has great action and is very playable. I had ordered 2 different expensive guitars in the last 2 years that sounded like a toy. Yamaha FGX830C is a quality instrument.

Guitar arrived in factory sealed packaging and was in tune, 2 steps down! Im still running the bright factory strings. Updates Ive made - I dropped in a solid bone saddle, slot filed the saddle pins to have strings not in the bridge pin and reversed the pins to pinch the strings into the slots. I have bone solid bridge pins (but still need to sand to fit) for it. And I edged my fingernail and then a pick under the stick-on pick-guard - then got about 1/2”peeled away and took pliers and gently peeled It off without scratching the finish - its a decent tone improver. Next I tightened the neck truss allen bolt inside the sound hole to lower the string action to spec. The end result sounds as nice as a $2500 guitar. Sparkling highs and punchy bass. And this guitar stays in tune too - tonality is right on. I have several martins (D28, D18GT, 2 DX1s, DX1AE) an this exceeds the D18GT martin sound profile - but at only 20% the cost. The FG830 is still breaking in and improves every day. To be honest, the DX1 with HPL outplays the FG830 after a mitchell brass plate is added under the bridge of the DX1 - but a DX1 has also drown out a D45 custom in a bluegrass jam session - but Martin stopped making the DX1 and the martin HPL glue shatters too easily - it has broken and been repaired 3 times on both - the DX1 are 3x the price of the FG830. Its hard to find a DX1 without HPL glue separation. I wish I had peeled off the pickguard of the DX1 20 years ago. IMO - the glue pad under the pickguard mutes the top performance. We peel pickguards off all new acoustics and wear pick scratches with pride - if needed a new $3 pickguard is a fast peel and stick, but sound suffers.

Amazing guitar. Sounds and looks like a much more expensive instrument! Even better if you get it "Setup" at your local music store!

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?)
