Lightweight yet robust, this guitar offers exceptional value for intermediate players seeking professional tone and style without the premium price tag. ## Description In addition to warmer and stronger sound thanks to the mahogany back and sides, the body binding and fingerboard binding are cream plastic, for an upgraded look. A wealth of color options are available. Review: Yamaha always delivers exceptional value. - I couldn't be happier with my new FG820 guitar. I'm not an accomplished player-- sort of an intermediate-- but I know my way around acoustic guitars a bit. I'm not wealthy and it would be silly to consider a $2,000 guitar, and besides I'm admittedly not such a serious player. I play for the enjoyment, and in hopes of getting better and better. This guitar is exactly right for someone like me. It just arrived, and I inspected it, wiped it down, tuned it, and played it. There are two very minor blemishes in the finish that aren't at all critical; one is a slight wave in the lacquer finish on the top, the other is a tiny dent. The action right out of the box is excellent. No string buzz or any other troubles with the factory setup, but very easy to apply bar chords to, and a nice light touch with the rather light strings. "But what about the sound?", you ask. Very bright, capable of real loudness, beautiful sustain and projection, very balanced throughout the frequency range-- as everyone has already said. For $300, my goodness! This does not sound like an inexpensive guitar. Being mostly mahogany, the guitar is surprisingly light in weight, but I'm accustomed to heavier woods like rosewood and I know it's no reflection on quality. The mahogany back and sides, though laminate, are just gorgeous, and the neck is a very comfortable size and cross section, finished in a matte treatment for good grip. I love the ivory-colored binding and mother-of-pearl Yamaha emblem on the headstock. If you're like me and aren't a professional musician, but appreciate great value and craftsmanship in a beautiful acoustic guitar, I highly recommend this Yamaha FG820. It would be a great starter guitar or for refining your skills, since its playability is so good. For a bit over $300. Amazing. Review: Great guitar! Awesome, especially for the price. - As others have said, this is an amazing guitar for the price. I got the FG-820 (mahogany laminate b&s). Its well put together, the QC seems good. I've had it only 2 weeks though. I lowered the action a bit and added a bone saddle. It still sounded great before that, and I haven't tested enough to see if it sound better with the bone or original saddle yet. The tone is very nice, notes are clear, volume is good, great balance for a big-size guitar. One gripe, the guitar came shipped in a small cardboard box wrapped only in a bit of plastic wrap, ie hardly any padding. But I guess it was sufficient because the guitar came in excellent condition. I wanted a beater guitar to take camping, the beach, maybe travel, play it around my mischevious toddler, let her strum/abuse it a little. At $260, its great for that. But now I don't want to abuse it, as it is a nice guitar and doesn't deserve that abuse! I have a Taylor 314ce. Its 4x the price. But the tone of that Taylor is only about 10% better (due to its richness). Also this 820 has somewhat better volume and bass. The Taylor is obviously a higher quality guitar but I'm seriously considering getting rid of it just to make more space for a rosewood body guitar. For my needs the tone of the 820 is "good enough" to replace that particular Taylor. I'm very glad I bought this guitar. Its a good guitar that I can take anywhere and gives me flexibility and convenience because its not a "precious" guitar like Martin, Taylor, etc. Also these Yamaha FG guitars are closer in sound to a Taylor than to a Martin. I did end up returning it though, but because it has a 1-11/16" nut, while I decided I needed 1.75" as my other 2-3 guitars were 1.75" and wanted switching between them to be completely seamless. ## Features - Solid Sitka Spruce Top - Mahogany Back & Sides - Rosewood Fingerboard - Rosewood Bridge - Diecast Tuners - this guitar has an adjustable truss rod ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01CFOAQUC | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,607 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #57 in Acoustic-Electric Guitars #100 in Acoustic Guitars | | Body Material | Mahogany | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 146 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Guitar | | Instrument | guitar | | Instrument Size | Dreadnought | | Item Dimensions | 42.5 x 20.7 x 6.1 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 42.5"L x 20.7"W x 6.1"H | | Item Weight | 6.4 pounds | | Manufacturer | Yamaha PAC | | Manufacturer Part Number | FG820 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | FG820 | | Model Number | FG820 | | Neck Material Type | Nato | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 4.93 inches | | String Material Type | Solid Spruce | | String Nut Width | 43 millimeters | | Top Material Type | Spruce Wood | | UPC | 889025103701 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty yamaha corporation of america (yamaha) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into every product we represent.

If I buy this one will it buzz?** A: This is my second Yamaha guitar. I've found that the Yamaha guitars are terrific as far as their overall quality, but they need a professional setup. The bridge tends to be too high and the truss rod needs a slight adjustment. Take it to a quality luthier who will charge around $50 for a pro setup. Afterwards, it will sound and play like a $800 (or more) instrument. **Q: Does anybody have a fairly accurate measurement of the neck when measured at the nut? Thanks!** A: 43mm = the nut width = width of fretboard at the nut. **Q: Is it comfortable?** A: This was my first guitar. I found it very comfortable but then I bought a Taylor mini. Each has its place I still play then both **Q: Is it high or low action?** A: In my opinion it's extremely HIGH. It was so high that I took it to my guitar luthier who said " it's unplayable like that" He had to shave off a little of the bridge, adjust the Nut grooves and dress a couple of high frets at the 12th to get it in reasonable shape and for myself to be happy with it. The bass E is 2mm above the 12th fret now so within bounds. She plays and sounds okay but it's not my favourite guitar by a long chalk to be honest. Spends more time in its case! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yamaha always delivers exceptional value. *by B***T on August 8, 2023* I couldn't be happier with my new FG820 guitar.

I also have an FG820 I alternate play with (the FG820 is the one I got on Amazon Warehouse with a tiny scratch for $100 less - great deal). I am slightly larger than average, with med-large hands (5 11). I can play either guitar easily. If I'm in my study, I play the FG - its is a bit louder and slightly easier to finger pick, and also has more mid range; its good to play in my office chair. I replaced the bridge and pins on the FG with bone (on AMZ for under $15), and it brightened the sound a bit. I also sanded the bone bridge down a little more to lower the "action" (how far you need to press down on the string to make a note). I liked it so much I picked up the FS850. The FS850 is easier to reach over to strum when on the couch, looks great, and has a warm sound which I would say is smoother and more mellow - it doesn't have the pronounced twang the FG820 can have when doing individual notes; the all mahogany body cuts the edges. I love the finish on the FS850, and must say it FS looks much better than my blue FG. The FG might be easier for a beginner to isolate notes and finger positioning, although smaller hands would like the FS. Both are great and a bargain for the price, but the 820 (or even 800 I imagine) is fine if you are on a budget... ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha FG820 Solid Top Acoustic Guitar, Natural, Dreadnought - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black - WINGO Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitars - Rosewood Color with 5 Picks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/30849736-yamaha-fg820-solid-top-acoustic-guitar-natural-dreadnought](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/30849736-yamaha-fg820-solid-top-acoustic-guitar-natural-dreadnought) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
