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

Quality sound and playability
Style: Acoustic-Electric Size: Dreadnought Color: Black Set: Guitar Only
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. ... show more

Beautiful playing guitar!
Style: Acoustic-Electric Size: Dreadnought Color: Black Set: Guitar Only
Beautiful playing guitar! I am partial to Martin's. I was looking for something with a solid wood top and solid Rosewood. This guitar delivers on deep and beautiful tones. Plays great right out of the box. It provides ample sound without being plugged in. I can't wait to plug it in tomorrow and see what it can do. Love this guitar especially for the price 👉 ... 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

Good guitar, but is scratched possibly because of bad packaging

Guitar is very good, but Guitar was shipped in just a card board box with no type of padding on the inside and there is a noticeable scratch on the top of the Guitar next to the pickup. Other than that I like the guitar a lot and would probably keep it. I'd be open to keeping the guitar if I could get some of my money back, but I don't know who to speak to about that. ... show more

Great Guitar!
Style: Acoustic-Electric Size: Dreadnought Color: Black Set: Guitar Only
this guitar surprised me it sounds like a dream and looks like one also. if your looking for a guitar in this price range or even if you are looking for a guitar that's more expensive this is the guitar for you. unreal sound for the money easy to play satin finish on the neck feels comfortable and allows for easy transition between cords. The craftsmen ship is what you would expect from Yamaha. I needed to change the strings the ones that came with weren't that bad but I'm picky about my strings. ... show more

This is an awesome guitar. This was a used guitar, but in excellent condition. The quality with the look and sound is outstanding. I appreciate the electronics on board because of the ease with tuning and amplification. Very happy with the purchase and seller. Thanks Alamo Music Center !
