With the Yamaha FG 850 you can easily create a wide and warm sound that is extremely well suited for vocal accompaniment and expressive strumming. In addition to high-quality materials and excellent workmanship, the FG 850 impresses with its easy playability and its noble mahogany look. The instrument is rounded off with a high-gloss finish and fine inlay work.

Construction and woods

Thanks to a solid mahogany top with X-bracing, the individual notes unfold quickly and richly. Back and sides are made of laminated mahogany and color the sound with warm bass and midrange frequencies. For a comfortable grip of the 20 frets a flat nato neck is used, which is equipped with a rosewood fingerboard, which is perfectly adapted to the rosewood bridge mounted on the top.

Design and Hardware

Framed by a multi-ply binding of light mahogany the dreadnought acoustic guitar gets a very timeless optical touch, which gains additional shine by a multi-stripe soundhole rosette. To enable precise tuning the manufacturer uses chrome-plated die-cast tuners with a filigree inlay in their center. In addition, a saddle and a 43 mm wide saddle made of urea ensure a clean intonation on the entire scale length of 650 mm.
