Founded in Japan in 1887, Yamaha Corporation is one of the world's largest manufacturers of musical instruments, with a product line that includes pianos, guitars, electronic organs, violins, wind instruments, percussion, and other products, each of which has achieved a good market position in its own field. In the list of "Top 225 in the Global Musical Instrument and Audio Products Industry" released by Music Trades, Yamaha has been ranked first every year, and its sales revenue is far ahead. As an instrument giant, Yamaha guitars have always represented mid-range and entry-level guitars.
Yamaha has two guitar factories around the world, with the factory in Indonesia focusing on entry-level models and the factory in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, China, focusing on mid-to-high-end models. Yamaha's mainland factories only produce Yamaha's own guitars and never manufacture them for other brands, which is truly unique in the guitar industry, which is popular in the OEM business.
It is said that the guitar industry is very deep, partly because many guitar manufacturers on the market have the phenomenon of false standards of materials. For example, the neck, which is an important sound-producing component that conducts vibration, is a common practice in the guitar industry to use the Nadu wood neck to pass off as mahogany, and the two are similar in appearance, but due to the shorter growth cycle of Nadu wood, the sound performance and price are lower than that of mahogany, and Yamaha is one of the very few manufacturers in the industry who dare to admit that they use Nadu wood. Yamaha's craftsmanship and acoustic tuning are able to compensate for the lack of materials to a certain extent, and reflect its confidence and responsibility as a world-class instrument manufacturer.
Yamaha's product line in the guitar is mainly divided into F plywood series, FG face single series, A face single and full single series, L series face single and full single series, among which F and FG series are very popular in China.
The FG series is Yamaha's best-selling series, adhering to the excellent workmanship of Japanese companies, providing a meticulous bond at the junction between the neck and the back side plate, the polishing is exquisite, the string pitch is well controlled, and the frets will not have the problem of cutting hands, and the feel is excellent, which is very worthy of consideration by beginners and advanced players.
As an upgraded version of the FG730 series, FG830 optimizes the structure of the sound beam, provides better mid-low frequency response, and in the choice of wood, it is still a high-quality spruce veneer and rosewood back side plate, and the neck is made of Nadu wood, which is a very competitive piano model in the 2000 yuan price range.
