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.

I was looking for a small guitar. And I had trouble finding... I tried quite a few! This one has a really good sound, despite its Concert format and the mahogany that sounds less than Spruce but as a result, it's softer, more relaxed. And the handle is very pleasant. You have to get used to your right hand a bit because the strings are less flared than on other guitars so it's a bit tighter for finger picking. Plus, she's really pretty.
The only flaw is that the strings are a bit high. But the Woodbrass workshop took over the bridge nut and it's flawless.
Last oddity, I realized after the purchase that the price in store was a bit higher than that displayed on the site. It's a shame but nothing more serious than that.Automatically translated

I've been playing it for 5 months, the guitar is of good quality, the finish is good and the instrument is really beautiful and sounds really good. The mechanics are fine, nothing more, they do the job and the tuning does not move. The only black spot that I note is the factory setting of the guitar which is really not great, the action is much too high and the head nut should be adjusted the same. I know it is not a âhigh-endâ guitar but I think that in this price range, a portable setting can still be expected. Therefore, provide an adjustment for the most DIY enthusiasts or a visit to the luthier for others.
