Yamaha FG830 Dreadnought Review

Fantastic guitar.

Brilliant guitar. Well made,sounds excellent. Why blow money on an expensive Martin or Gibson when you get the same thing in this axe? As always, great service from Sweetwater. Off you're thinking about buying this

I BOUGHT A GREAT YAMAHA FG 830 FROM SWEETWATER.COM

I was looking around on Ebay a couple years back and ran across a beautiful Tobacco Sunburst Yamaha FG 830. I liked what I saw, and ordered one. I was told by Sweetwater that the exact color I wanted wasn't in stock at that moment and so they special ordered one for me from their main supplier and after a little wait I received the box and when I got it open I was very surprised… read more at how the guitar looked and when I tuned it up (Actually my buddy tuned it up for me) I couldn't believe how mellow and nice the tone was and how playable the action was on the neck. Apparently Sweetwater had a technician set it up as perfectly as it could be set up. I eventually sold the guitar to a friend (And regretted that I did that) but I know exactly what company I want to purchase my next guitar from and I plan on that guitar being another Yamaha FG 830 if at all possible. I'd give the FG 830 5 STARS OUT OF 5 for quality, sound, and playability. And I'd give Sweetwater Music a 5 out of 5 also for excellence for setting up guitars before sending them out to customers. HOORAY FOR SWEETWATER !!!

Exceeded Expectations

Fingerpicker/Light Strummer here.... I am a well experienced owner of acoustics under $1000... Martins, Taylor, Blueridges, and other Yamahas. With that being said, this is a fantastic guitar. Craftsmanship is amazing. The tobacco sunburst is absolutely beautiful. The sound far exceeds the price of the guitar. Nice boom on the low end and very articulate in the mids and high.… read more The neck is smooth and fast. Zero complaints and really can't believe the price. Repeat customer and Sweetwater is of course top notch in my book. Quick shipping and well packaged!!

Amazing!

Having played guitar a little in college I decided to take it up once again and purchased the Yamaha FG830 to get me started. It was very well packaged and it arrived in perfect condition which, having purchased other items from Sweetwater, was not a surprise. What was a total surprise, however, was the incredible beauty of this guitar. The online photos did not do it justice!… read more The tone and resonance match its physical beauty and the playability is simply amazing. I LOVE this guitar and am absolutely thrilled with this purchase!

Excellent Acoustic

Ordered a demo model. When it arrived I had to search and search for the scratches and crack in gelcoat that was in pictures. It could have passed for brand new to me but luckily it saved me money on an already incredible value. I cant compare it to anything high end but it plays like a dream. I bought it to mainly play bluegrass on and it's perfect. Plenty of bottom end. If… read more it was stolen I'd buy another in a second.
