A great-sounding model with traditional looks and outstanding quality.
Yamaha's FG820-12 Dreadnought 12-string Acoustic Guitar offers unparalleled value for the money. The FG820-12 produces a robust, resonant tone perfectly suited for layering shimmering harmonies or driving rhythms. Its solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide balanced warmth and clarity. Yamaha developed new scalloped bracing to maximize volume and projection, allowing the FG820-12 to fill any room with a gorgeous 12-string tone.
The FG820-12 owes its bold voice to a solid spruce top, a tonewood known for both strength and sound. Spruce emphasizes treble tones and fundamentals, resulting in crisp highs, tight lows, and a focused midrange. Over time, the top will mellow and open up, enriching harmonics for a sweeter, more complex tone.
The FG820-12's mahogany back and sides naturally accentuate midrange frequencies. Mahogany produces a balanced, versatile tone that suits any genre. Combined with spruce, it yields a blend of warmth and articulation ideal for 12-string guitars.
Yamaha developed new scalloped bracing for the 800 series, a pattern that increases low-end response and volume. Scalloped bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, resulting in a bigger, bolder tone with enhanced projection. Strum hard during leads or dig in on rhythm parts—the FG820-12 cuts through with ease.
Cream binding lines the body and neck, providing an upgraded look. The FG820-12's comfortable neck and low action make 12-string playing effortless. Die-cast tuners ensure tuning stability under the added string tension. Overall, the FG820-12 offers exceptional quality and tone for those wanting an affordable 12-string.
