Yamaha FG840 Acoustic Guitar - Natural Finish

Clear, Defined Tone with Eye-Catching Looks

The Yamaha FG840 stands out in the FG Series lineup with its flame maple back and sides—offering both a striking visual presence and a focused, articulate tone. If you’re after clarity and note separation, especially for chord work, this one delivers in a big way.

Built on Yamaha’s trusted traditional western body platform, the FG840 provides strong projection and a full, balanced sound that works for strumming, recording, or just everyday playing.

Flame Maple for Clarity and Definition

Flame maple brings a different voice compared to rosewood or mahogany—more transparent, with excellent note separation and a tighter low end.

• Flame maple back and sides for clear, articulate tone
• Great note definition for chord work and recording
• Distinctive high-end look with natural figuring

Solid Spruce Top for Dynamic Response

The solid spruce top gives the FG840 a responsive feel with plenty of headroom, so it handles both light touch and heavier strumming without breaking up.

• Solid spruce top for clarity and projection
• Wide dynamic range
• Balances warmth with brightness

Scalloped Bracing for Added Depth

Yamaha’s scalloped bracing design enhances resonance and sustain, helping the guitar feel more alive and responsive.

• Improved low-end response
• Better sustain and resonance
• More expressive overall tone

Comfortable, Road-Ready Design

The FG840 is built to be reliable and easy to play, whether you're practicing at home or taking it out to a gig.

• Traditional western body for strong projection
• Smooth-playing neck profile
• Durable gloss finish
