I ordered this guitar from Adorama and got a great deal on it. The workmanship on this guitar is great, and it sounds awesome for a guitar in this range. It sounds way better than the price would indicate actually. I checked the intonation on it with my Yamaha digital tuner, and it is right on the money. The finish is very well done, no sloppiness, the neck joint is perfect and the neck angle is perfect as well. This Yamaha FG830 has a lot of volume, which I believe is due partly to the scalloped x bracing on this model. The prior model, the FG730s, did not have scalloped bracing, but is otherwise identical. I played the FG730s at a music store and it sound good also, but the FG830 does have the edge over the Fg720s. Basically, they took the 700 series guitars and improved them with scalloped x bracing. They went from good to better. If you are looking for a high quality acoustic guitar, for learning on or for just the good sound of it, then I would say that the FG830 is going to do well by you. Very good guitar for the money, and I would definitely recommend it.
