  • 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

  • Incredible beginner guitar
Style: Acoustic Size: Dreadnought Color: Natural Set: Guitar Only
I started playing October 2023 and am still at it, and I attribute much of that year 1 success to buying the right beginner guitar - this one. After a month I took it to a luthier for a proper setup which is something recommended for all guitars. I also have a Yamaha FG800 and Fannin acoustic, the sound from the FG830 is so rich, deep and pleasing it blows those away. At year 2 I was going to buy something a little more expensive, really don't know if I'll do that now. I would recommend the Amazon basic guitar stand and the Yamaha case to go with it (only if traveling). I'm using D'Addario .012-053 Phosphor Bronze strings, I've tried smaller gauge strings but prefer the .012 Light Gauge sound. Only other thing you need starting is the lemon oil for the fret board. Just don't skip the luthier (not Guitar Center). In summary I think this guitar is the best beginner guitar you can get at the price point and that it sounds great. ... show more

  • An amazing guitar for beginners. One of the best guitars for the money!
Style: Acoustic Size: Dreadnought Color: Tobacco Sunburst Set: Guitar Only
I bought a Yamaha F335 for $150 US to learn how to play guitar. It sounded just fine to me at the beginning since I did not have a trained ear. I struggled to practice and make chords due to the action of that guitar (distance between the neck and the string). I practiced for two months daily until I decided to upgrade my guitar without expanding too much money. I was between this guitar FG830 and the Seagull S6. I decided to buy the Yamaha one due to the fact I saved $100 dollars and I like the looks of this terrific guitar. When I played it for the first time, I realized that the F335 sounds like crap compared with the pretty tone that the rosewood produces. The sound quality and sustain are incredible! Also, I have felt it is easier to play because I think this one has lower action (still, be sure to set up a new guitar to have a lower section in a guitar shop), better sound to distinguish among chords/notes, and a little more separation between strings (I have big hands). Lastly, I notice how more beautiful the aesthetics of this instrument is compared to the cheaper versions. It is really well crafted in comparison with my last guitar. I am more motivated to keep practicing and learning due to this musical instrument. ... show more

  • Fantastic!
Style: Acoustic Size: Dreadnought Color: Tobacco Sunburst Set: Guitar Only
Very well made nicely and securley packaged. Would not order something like this ordinarily but my local store didnt have one and I was pleasantly suprised to see it delivered ontime and in perfect condition. This guitar is a noticiable step up from my lesser Yamaha. They do make a good guitar.

  • 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

Beautiful and true to the color. I absolutely love it! I was concerned about it getting damaged during shipping but it came well packed and without a dent or scratch. It also arrived expeditiously—way sooner than expected.
