A Unique FG in the Range: Mahogany in the Spotlight
With the FG850NT, Yamaha offers an original approach within the FG universe: an identity marked by mahogany, both visually and sonically. This wood choice gives the instrument an immediately recognizable personality, ideal for those seeking a folk guitar with a warm character while retaining the versatility spirit associated with the FG series.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Yamaha FG850NT is well suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an expressive and pleasant acoustic guitar for daily use, as well as for more experienced musicians looking for a woody sound to record or accompany vocals. It adapts particularly well to folk, pop, chanson, and blues styles, with strong presence in rhythm playing and a musical output in picking.
Sound Characteristics
The combination of a solid mahogany top and mahogany back/sides delivers a distinctive sound: rich mids, a soft yet defined attack, and a natural warmth that highlights open chords as well as arpeggios. Mahogany promotes a balanced response, often rounder than a spruce top, with controlled projection and pleasant sustain for accompaniment playing as well as melodic lines.
