User questions & answers

Question:	How wide is the neck of the guitar around the top 5 frets
Answer:	About 2 inches.
Question:	does the 1/2 size have a two tone top? The picture shows a slight line running down the middle that appears to be two tones/two pieces
Answer:	Yes, the top is two pieces of laminated spruce. This is a standard practice for just about every guitar manufacturer.
Question:	I'm a 4'10" adult with tiny baby hands. Looking for smaller guitar so certain chords are easier to play. Which size should I get
Answer:	This probably won't do, as the fretboard is rather wide. A parlor guitar is more your fit. The Little Martin or be the Peavey Composer is small, but sound good. Check them out.
Question:	Is there an option to have it strung for a left-handed child
Answer:	You can always string a guitar backwards, but as a lefty who plays right-handed, I'd strongly urge having the child learn the normal way. So many times you wind up at a party where there's a guitar, and if you can't play it because you've learned a non-standard way, you've severely limited your opportunities. Besides, the left hand which does the fretting has an advantage for a lefty.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it high or low action
Answer:	In my opinion it's extremely HIGH. It was so high that I took it to my guitar luthier who said " it's unplayable like that" He had to shave off a little of the bridge, adjust the Nut grooves and dress a couple of high frets at the 12th to get it in reasonable shape and for myself to be happy with it. The bass E is 2mm above the 12th fret now so within bounds. She plays and sounds okay but it's not my favourite guitar by a long chalk to be honest. Spends more time in its case!
Question:	Is it comfortable
Answer:	This was my first guitar. I found it very comfortable but then I bought a Taylor mini. Each has its place I still play then both
Question:	What is the nut width? (inches
Answer:	1.75" -Jesus The Music Store
Question:	my old yamaha drives me nuts, because of the buzz sounds with the strings. If I buy this one will it buzz
Answer:	One of the best options is to use the buzz in your style. No doubt it’s not an all out buzz all of the time. So incorporate it as an emphasis at certain pints. Old phenomenal guitarists played what they had, got really good at it and used funky quirks on their guitar to add some flavor. The other option. Play each string at each fret, isolate the buzz and decide what the next option is. If the guitar has been climate controlled and is in a steady state, you may find sanding the buzzing fret down (just on the string that buzzes), with the fretboard well protected with a high grit paper, the right answer. This could also be the beginning of chasing the buzz down the neck to the next fret. It could be a nut or bridge adjustment that’s the answer. Truss rod is not where the adjustments usually start. My point, it comes down to a proficient luthier or someone who might be willing to take the time to get everything right. Cheap guitars can sometimes sound great after a $1000 in labor or equivalent time has been invested. Guitars aren’t a set it and forget it object. Nature works against them and time can be an enemy. If you’re really serious, you’ll take it somewhere regularly to have it tweaked to fight the elements working against it. Anyway, Americans spend $1,000s on frivolous hobbies. This is a pretty cheap one if you start with a decently constructed guitar and then just figure you’ll care for it over the years. Either learn to do the maintenance yourself or pay someone whose invested their time to learn it... or barter. One cool thing if you learn the craft, you can find old guitars and go through them, make the adjustments and get some very unique stuff that’s cool in its own way. Yamaha is a solid built instrument —from their drums to guitars to pianos. A buzz is definitely no reason to avoid the brand. Otherwise, every brand and nearly every model will be a problem at some time or other.

With a focus on great playability, musical tone and outstanding build quality, the original FG180 quickly became a classic with countless careers and hit records starting life on an FG. 50 years since the introduction of the FG acoustics, the new range features the best-ever FG tone and the same great playability and class-leading quality that’s made it the choice of millions of guitarists.

User questions & answers

Question:	This may be a dumb question but, is this for both right and left handed players
Answer:	Right handed
Question:	I am purchasing as a gift for my husband and I am wondering about the different between nato, mahogany, and rosewood
Answer:	I bought the mahogany because I play more mellow jazz and mahogany has a more mellow sound to me. Rosewood has a brighter tone more fitted to rock.
Question:	Hi. is it really solid top? love the guitar sound, but i see a little seam going across the top dividing it into two halves? tnx
Answer:	It is a what is called a solid top guitar. It is two pieces of solid wood. Its hard to find a tree big enough to cut a one piece top out of. This is normal for all guitar manufactures even big name brands. Oh and by the way Yamaha is a big name in guitar. Probably the most consistent in quality an construction. Best bang for the buck out there. I have many guitars and in a blind test of family and friends all say my A1R sounds the best. Yes I have more expensive other brands one is all solid top and body but none compare. The sound will only get better with age with your FGX830C YOU HAVE CHOSEN WISELY.
Question:	Which is the best fgx830 or fgx
Answer:	even better than fgx830 and fgx830 is the fgx830
