Product Description
The Yamaha FG850NT is a full bodied, all mahogany acoustic that delivers a warm, woody voice with impressive projection. With a solid mahogany top, scalloped bracing and Yamaha’s decades of acoustic know how, it is a fantastic choice for singer songwriters, fingerstyle players and anyone who wants a rich, characterful tone that inspires you to keep playing.
Part of the acclaimed FG800 series, the FG850NT takes the classic FG formula and adds an all mahogany construction for extra warmth, focus and midrange punch. Whether you are writing at home, recording in the studio or playing for friends, it offers a responsive feel, a balanced sound and a timeless natural look that will never go out of style.
Warm, Woody All Mahogany Tone
With a solid mahogany top paired with mahogany back and sides, the FG850NT has a naturally rich midrange and a smooth, rounded top end. Chords sound full and musical without getting harsh, while single notes have a sweet, vocal quality that suits both strumming and fingerpicking. The solid top also opens up further over time, rewarding you with even more depth and resonance the more you play.
Enhanced Projection with Scalloped Bracing
Inside the body, Yamaha’s newly developed scalloped bracing pattern has been carefully engineered using advanced acoustic analysis. This bracing strengthens the top where it needs support while freeing it to vibrate more in key areas, giving you extra volume, stronger low mids and a more responsive feel under the right hand. The result is a bigger, more dynamic sound that still retains clarity and balance.
Comfortable Traditional Western Body
The FG850NT uses Yamaha’s Traditional Western body shape, a familiar full sized dreadnought style that feels reassuring and substantial without being unwieldy. The 650 mm scale length and 43 mm nut width offer a comfortable, classic acoustic feel that will be instantly at home for most players. Whether you are strumming big open chords or playing more intricate parts, it feels natural and easy to navigate.
Built to Be a Lifelong Partner
From carefully cured woods to the thin 0.25 mm gloss finish on the body, every aspect of the FG850NT is designed to maximise tone and long term stability. The slim, satin finished neck feels fast and comfortable, while the rosewood fingerboard and bridge provide a smooth playing surface and reliable transfer of vibration. With Yamaha’s renowned build quality and attention to detail, this is an acoustic that is made to accompany you for years of music making.
