      • Solid spruce top

      • Natural gloss finish
      • Die cast tuning machines
      • 20 frets

When it comes to enhancing ease of play of a guitar no other brand does it better than the Yamaha FS820 Acoustic Guitar. This guitar comes in a body style that Yamaha calls the small body style. The body of the guitar is smaller than the usual dreadnought size with the curves just at the right places. If the size of this model bothers you, there’s another similar Yamaha guitar in our Yamaha FG800 review.

The result of this, is a guitar that feels natural to your hands and is easy to play. You can play the Yamaha FS820 Acoustic Guitar for hours because it produces great rich sound and it is comfortable. Be sure to know the differences between an acoustic vs electric guitar so you buy what suits your needs.

The Yamaha FS820 Acoustic Guitar has a solid spruce top with mahogany on the sides. This means sound resonates well so you hear great tones. The sound projection is also decent if that’s a factor you’re considering when reading through acoustic guitar reviews.

The Yamaha FS820 Acoustic Guitar features a scalloped bracing design which ensures authentic sound that is robust and full. This guitar is suitable for intermediate to professional guitarists. Since it has a narrow body and narrow neck, it can be played easily and it is suitable for a wide range of playing techniques. Beginners may feel more comfortable with a more beginner-friendly model like the slightly cheaper model in our Epiphone Pro 1 review. Drop D tuning might make playing easier in the beginning as well.
