Yamaha's FG line has been in constant production since the mid 60s and is now something of a minor classic. Yamaha's take on the dreadnought, the FG (presumably for Folk Guitar) is a great amalgamation of good design, excellent production standards and fantastic value for money.The FG850is the top of the line FG guitar and is made entirely from Mahogany. The top is solid Mahogany for quality, tone and resonance. Even the binding has been made from Mahogany! This guitar sounds very soft and warm, like honey mixed with wood! It's very earthy and has a deliciously strong mid-range, perfect for fingerpicking and, thanks to the dreadnought shape, excellent at strumming too! This beautiful dreadnought is perfect for anyone looking for a warm, deep sounding acoustic with a rustic feel and an excellent price tag.
