Yamaha FG850 vs FG830 — | Acoustic Battle 27 | Mahogany vs Rosewood Tone Test & Comparison

In this video, we put two popular Yamaha acoustics head-to-head: the FG850 and the FG830. The FG850 delivers rich, warm tones thanks to its all-mahogany body and solid top. The FG830, with its solid spruce top and rosewood back & sides, offers clarity, bright overtones, and more sustain. We’ll test both guitars side-by-side — fingerpicking, strumming, soft and hard attack — so you can hear the real difference. Which one do YOU prefer — the mellow warmth of the FG850 or the bright clarity of the FG830? Drop your pick in the comments!
