Yamaha 800 Series (FG830, FG800, FS800) - Best Guitars for the Price!

How does the FG310 compare to FG800 in your opinion?

Heloo

Does it have an adjustable truss rod? Thanks!

Besides the guitar,his playing skills though

This was a useful video for me because Carl's playing is a lot like mine.

The FG830 tickles me in all the right places.

Yamaha fg345 best than fg 800 and fg830

For the price it might be a very good guitar but for me is mehh.. not so

Is it better to upgrade and pay more for LS6?

Hey Carl, why don’t you cut the shit out while I’m talking

With guitar takes practice

Yamaha is the best brand to choose from probably

What do you say about fg820?

Honestly, both guitars sound a little harsh tone-wise and it's not from the aggressive playing. For the price, it's ok. To really judge how good a guitar is, time is the ultimate factor. From experience, these lower end guitars always get super stiff to play after a year or two.

When he switched from the FS and was handed the FG, would have been a great time to show the side by side difference in body depth and width. Thats what people watching a comparison video are looking for other than sound of course

The only negative thing I’ve heard was the quality control. Makes me nervous about purchasing, does anyone have a reliable online seller they can recommend? Thanks!

doesnt sound like the stock strings

My problem is this, I watch this video and you said “ it is the greatest guitar on the planet at this price “ then watch another video on the Eastman ( which is in the same price range ) and once again I get “ this is the best guitar you can buy at this price on the planet “ . Make your mind up 😅 I get they are both great guitar for the price but 🤷 you are doing reviews so it would be nice to know . Also maybe compare with the playability, the neck , your overall feeling, maybe one being better than the other for picking .....

Carl and the salesman. Ya dun yer jobs good. I and my son have bought FG830's. I bought an FG800 yesterday. But I traded the FG830 in on a Martin
(My bad?). In one of our BG throwdowns I never feel under armed playing an 800. May not be as bassey as an FG830 but seems to have more volume
with the same amount of strumming!!!

I love these guitars. I was planning to buy an FG700S in the past, but couldn't afford it at that time. I then lost the interest for quite a while.
I finally made up my mind to buy an FG800 and have finally ordered it just a while ago tonight. I love fingerstyle and can't wait for the guitar to arrive.

So for a "cheap" guitar I went with the FG800 and it sounds great!!! You can't go wrong on any of these. I bought this as a beater campfire guitar. It sounds so good I may now get the 830 for the couch. Seriously GREAT GUITAR for little money.

bla bla bla bla where is the sound ? where is the music ? :-(

What is the prices on that models today? .....send me link for 200

What is the sound difference between the FG830 and FS830, if any?

I have a FG830 and I’m LOVING the sound; however, I’m a small person and the FG’s are a bit overwhelming.

he is pretty agitated for some reason hahahaha Id think they are really really good guitars and he is exited

Nice Video... Do you know where I can purchase a battery cover for a Yamaha FG 411e Acoustic/digital Guitar?

Hi!What do you think about yamaha fg820? Which is better beteween 820 and 800?Thanks

Are they the same size?

FG800 vs FG830.. Which is better one to buy?

Very nice playing at the end :)

if I had a lot of money, I wouldn't give $2000 dollars for a guitar, no guitar deserves this money !..
i'll buy a yamaha FS800 or FG-800-830 series guitar and enjoy it..
thanks

Sounds great , I have an FS 800 Tinted , but just to be clear Nato looks and sounds like Mahogany but is not related to Mahogany . This does not matter at all as far as the Guitar goes , but I am a retierd Cabinet Maker , it matters to me as a woodworker , nurd that is .

Just a query:
Are the both fingerboard width and scale length same in FG800 & FS800 series models? Thanks in advance... 🤘

I have had the FG 800 for a few years, it's one of my "leave out" guitars for when I'm working (though I do put it in a gig bag at night or anytime it's not being used and even use D'addario Humidipaks to maintain the humidity since where I live is brutal in the winter).

At any price it is a great sounding and playing guitar, but without a doubt it would be hard to find anything in its price range to compare!! In fact it sounds better than many guitars 2 to 3 times (or more) it's price!

Is it as nice as my Furch Yellow Master's Choice Gc-CR?...no, that's at a completely different level...but I still enjoy playing it!

In fact it was one of the guitars that I took on vacation recently and it was wonderful having such a nice instrument that I didn't have to worry about.

are those the strings the come with the guitar?

Why do FG800 and FG830 sound different? Aren't the back and sides laminate after all, which implies Nato and Rosewood respectively are meant for aesthetic purposes?

Just got a FG 830. Love the thing.

Love my FS800 🎸

FS models have a 25" scale and FG models have 25.5" scale. All the new Red Label guitars have a 25" scale but share the same body dimensions as the 800 series. Funny how this NEVER gets mentioned. Short scale guitars have slightly less string tension and therefore, they are a little bit more comfortable to play - especially higher up the neck. All the rest of the demo is just repeating the specs, only not very accurately. However, I agree that the 800 series are nice instruments at an unbelievable price point.

FG800 has good Sound for me

I actually think I liked the sound of the fs800 over the fg800, at least from this video.

Which is the good string set for yamaha fg830 ???

What would you recommend to electrify please? I bought a 50 dollar on board pickup (disc shape on front of guitar) but it feeds back awfully and I want to keep this guitar to play and need to a proper preamp and get installed. What please is the very best I can get but in the cheapest way? (As in I want to buy the preamp online and get a professional to install it). Thank you

FS800 has 2.0" string spacing at the bridge, which fingerstyle players will usually say is....way too narrow. FG800 is fine.

Cheap crap from China. Doesn't sound good.

But it’s not a true rosewood sound because it’s just laminate. There is quite a difference in the distinction of aged rosewood and aged laminate. However, laminate is way more sturdy and the guitars these days sound pretty darn good.!!!
