Product no: 9000-0023-8045 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The first thing you'll notice about the Yamaha FG830 NT is the contrast between its light top and deep brown rosewood sides and rear. This type of wood ensures a rich sound with low, resonating tones and long sustain. The luxurious abalone sound hole rosette inlay is what sets the 830 models apart from the 820s. The basic sound is just as strong thanks to its solid top.

Critical quality control

Fifty years ago, Yamaha launched their very first FG model guitars, which were an instant success thanks to the brand's incredible attention to detail. These instruments are built with great accuracy and feature a sublime finish. Some of the improvements that have been made to the FG830 series over time include an enhanced scalloped bracing that allows the low and mid-tones to really pop and a slender neck with rolled fretboard edges for extra playing comfort.

Wrote the following about Yamaha FG830 NT Natural acoustic steel-string guitar

Na de goede review gelezen te hebben toch maar de knoop doorgehakt. Voor deze prijs is dit een van de betere gitaren op de markt. Klinkt beter dan de prijs zou zeggen, en ziet er ook goed uit. Ik zou iedereen deze gitaar aanraden

Wrote the following about Yamaha FG830 NT Natural acoustic steel-string guitar

Speel al een tijdje gitaar, maar niet op een kwalitatief vergelijkbare gitaar zoals deze.

- Fijne fretboard. Snaren zijn makkelijk in te drukken
- Hoog kwaliteit hout
- Warme klank

Een echte aanrader!
