Experience the legendary sound that has captivated musicians for over five decades with the Yamaha FG840 folk guitar. This refined, high-end model maintains the exceptional playability, musical tone and outstanding quality that made the original FG180 a classic when it debuted in 1966. The FG840 combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovations to create an instrument that honours its heritage whilst meeting today's demanding standards.
The guitar's traditional Western body showcases flamed maple back and sides, creating a distinctive and exotic appearance that sets it apart from ordinary instruments. A solid spruce top pairs with a walnut fingerboard and glossy body finish to provide the class-leading quality synonymous with the Yamaha name. These premium materials work together to create both visual appeal and superior tonal characteristics.
Yamaha's newly developed scalloped bracing represents the latest technological advancement in acoustic guitar construction. This innovation produces transparent sound where each individual note in a chord rings clear and distinct. The bracing system reproduces the rich, authentic, well-balanced acoustic sound of the original model whilst maintaining robust structural strength, resulting in the best-ever FG tone with that same incredible feel musicians have treasured for generations.
