Wonderfully balanced tone The Yamaha FS820 Acoustic is the perfect step up for a beginner looking to improve their sound. Alternately, a more advanced player could not do better when looking to improve their guitar arsenal with this great-sounding instrument. The FS820 has a Solid Spruce top for crystal clear high ends balanced by Mahogany Back and sides. Over time these tonewoods will settle and mellow to produce a wonderfully balanced tone. Perfect for all player types 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. The small and thin body is perfect not only for female/young players but for intermediate to upper-level finger-picking style players.
