If you're on the hunt for a high quality acoustic on a budget, with a hardhsell case, here's a great find. Yamaha's FG models have been the go-to affordable dreadnought since 1966, and the FG830 is the rosewood option in the current FG800 lineup, pairing a solid Sitka spruce top with rosewood back and sides.

This is a full bodied dreadnought that sounds rich and full, with great projection. Rosewood gives it more sparkle: deeper lows, a more open top end and lots of overtones ringing around each note. Scalloped bracing lets the top move more for extra volume and bass, so it's a perfect for strumming as well as fingerpicking.

The nato neck has a satin finish that is very comfortable to play, and is topped with a rosewood fingerboard. Specs include a fairly flat 15.75" radius, a 1.6875" nut and 20 frets on a 25.6" scale. If you've played a dreadnought before, it'll feel right at home.

This is a classic acoustic, but an abalone rosette, cream binding and a tortoise pickguard dress it up a bit.

This Yamaha FG830 is in excellent condition, and has been been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop. As mentioned, comes with a hardshell case - that's an added bonus, as this model normally does not. It's a nice score for sure!
