From the first strum, you'll get it — the Yamaha FG820-12
performs way above its modest price tag. This 12-string acoustic
guitar's solid spruce top ensures a warm, strong sound that's
enhanced beautifully by its mahogany back and sides. You'll love
the feel of this guitar's Standard-shaped neck, which is topped
by an easy-playing rosewood fingerboard. You also get
eye-catching cream-colored body and fingerboard binding. Whether
you're a beginner that's looking for a quality first instrument,
or a longtime player searching for a top-notch backup, the
FG820-12 is a great choice.
Solid spruce top for great tone
Yamaha chose a solid spruce top for their FG820-12, due to its
look and tone. Spruce has a well-rounded, articulate sound with
excellent projection. These qualities have made it the undisputed
leader for acoustic guitar tops. And because it's made from solid
wood, the tone will age gracefully, with enhanced harmonics and
greater tonal balance as the years go by. Beyond that, the
FG820-12 boasts scalloped bracing, resulting in a larger low end
and more projection.
