A Unique Model in the Spirit of Yamaha's Folk Series
The FS850NT belongs to Yamaha's folk guitars in the FS format, known for its more manageable size and comfort during long sessions. In this version, the choice of an "all mahogany" aesthetic and a thinner body than the FG series strengthens the orientation towards a guitar that is both elegant, warm, and very pleasant to play, especially when alternating between seated and standing positions.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This acoustic guitar is suitable both for the serious beginner seeking a comfortable and inspiring folk guitar, and for the intermediate guitarist looking for a responsive instrument to accompany singing. The FS format and the feeling of a thinner body are particularly suited to folk, pop, chanson, light fingerstyle, and controlled strumming styles, with a grip that promotes precision and nuance.
Sound
The solid mahogany top provides a clear attack and quick response, with a generous midrange register that naturally fits into a voice-guitar mix. The mahogany back and sides complement this signature by enhancing warmth and homogeneity, while maintaining clear chord definition. The FS format, combined with a thinner body, prioritizes comfort and balanced projection, with musical sustain and dynamics that are easy to control: perfect for playing with nuances, switching from fingerstyle to pick, and maintaining a present sound without excess.
