Yamaha FS850 Acoustic Guitar - Solid Mahogany Concert Body

Warm, Focused Tone in a Comfortable Size

The Yamaha FS850 is a standout for players who want a warm, woody voice with a more focused feel. Built with an all-mahogany body, this guitar delivers a strong midrange character that works especially well for fingerstyle and lighter touch playing.

Its smaller concert body makes it comfortable to hold and easy to play for longer sessions.

All-Mahogany Construction

Scalloped Bracing for Enhanced Resonance

Yamaha’s scalloped bracing design helps the FS850 breathe more freely, adding depth and improving sustain.

• Improved resonance and projection
• Balanced tonal response
• Great for expressive, dynamic playing

Perfect for Fingerstyle Players

The smaller concert body and focused tone make the FS850 a natural fit for fingerpicking and more nuanced playing styles.

• Comfortable body size for seated or standing play
• Clear note separation for fingerstyle
• Balanced response across all strings

Simple, Reliable Build
