Yamaha FG820-12 12-String, natural, solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, walnut fretboard and bridge

Yamaha FG820-12 12-String Acoustic Guitar – Natural

There's nothing quite like the sound of a 12-string. That shimmering, chorus-like ring is what gives classic folk, rock, and singer-songwriter records their sparkle, and the Yamaha FG820-12 puts that sound within easy reach. Built on the same foundation as the popular FG820, this dreadnought pairs a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides for a warm, full voice with plenty of projection. Yamaha's scalloped bracing lets the top move freely, so you get a strong low end and a lively response whether you're strumming big open chords or picking out a melody. With a slightly wider nut to give all twelve strings room to breathe, it's a comfortable, dependable 12-string that's as at home on a stage or in the studio as it is on the couch.
