A concert-style acoustic guitar built for players who want warm all-mahogany tone, balanced projection, and comfortable everyday playability.
- Solid mahogany top delivers warm midrange response and focused articulation
- Mahogany back and sides add depth, punch, and balanced tonal warmth
- Concert body shape offers focused projection with excellent playing comfort
- Scalloped bracing enhances resonance and responsiveness
- Ideal for fingerstyle, singer-songwriter playing, and expressive acoustic performance
The Yamaha FS850 combines the comfortable feel of Yamaha’s concert-body FS platform with the warm and focused character of all-mahogany construction. Its solid mahogany top delivers articulate midrange response and natural compression, while the compact body shape provides balanced projection and excellent playing comfort.
Yamaha’s scalloped bracing improves resonance and low-end warmth while maintaining strong clarity and note separation across a wide range of playing styles. Compared to a larger dreadnought, the FS850 offers a more controlled and balanced acoustic response that works especially well for fingerstyle players and vocal accompaniment.
Comfortable, expressive, and visually distinctive, the FS850 is an excellent choice for players looking for warm mahogany tone in a compact and responsive concert-style acoustic guitar.
