All better wood acoustics use the same technique as it gives better resonant vibration across the top. If you look at the center seam, then proceed out on both sides the grain spacing / growth ring pattern is nearly identical. Solid top is used as opposed to plywood / laminated tops used in lower quality instruments. **Q: Yahama fg 830 is a dreadnought. other fg830's are bundled with accessories but are not dreadnoughts. same price. i'm a beginner. what to buy?** A: FG830 etc. is dreadnought size - no cutaway. FS is concert size (a bit smaller). The FG830C is cutaway. **Q: Is there a difference in sound quality between the Acoustic / Acoustic - Electric versions?** A: They will be very similar in sound - the only difference is that you can plug the acoustic/electric into an amplifier. Thank you. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***N on 24 May 2025* The Yamaha FG830 guitar plays tremendously and has a beautiful rich sound. It's well worth the money spent.
