The FS concert body offers a unique alternative to the larger folk-size FG. With smaller overall dimensions and a narrower waist, the FS has a sweet, focused tone that’s perfect for fingerpicking, recording and subtler playing styles. The latest model features a 10mm slimmer body for increased comfort and playability with no loss of volume or bass. Case sold separately.

Yamaha's standard acoustic model, with simple and traditional looks and outstanding quality, at an affordable price. A solid-top guitar with authentic sound that is well balanced without sacrificing its robust strength, thanks to the newly developed scalloped bracing design.

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.

    I bought this from a local music store. I played every guitar there, and the FS820 sounded the best by far. It outperformed guitars that cose three times as much. It wasn't the guitar I intended to buy (I had my eye on a Teton parlor), but nothing else came close. So I bought it.

    I'll never buy another guitar again. Yamaha doesnt make junk. Guitars at any price. This is a notch above their least expensive guitar. Attention to detail like the binding on the neck and body is excellent. Wanted a red sun burst forever. Now I have my dream guitar at an great price.

  • Would buy again

    Would this guitar fit in a classical guitar case? I bought a case for a classical guitar and was told I could get an acoustic that would fit in the same case but I am starting to feel like the employee I spoke with didn't know what I was asking.
