Now for the big question, is there a sound difference between the 800 (this guitar) versus the 820 (mahogany) and 830 (rosewood). I watched a video on YouTube where the guy speaks Chinese, but then plays every Yamaha model 800 to 850 for both concert and dreadnoughts. I did not hear any significant difference between the spruce top 800 to 830 models. The 850 mahogany models sounded a little muffled in comparison though.

Although I'm a 6'4" male I still like that the concert has a smaller more comfortable body. I think the concert is a better "everyday guitar", and it's more balanced from low to high notes for fingerstyle. The dreadnought is useful if you really need extra volume for your chords, and boomier bass notes. FS800 is a typical concert-size acoustic guitar. Its smaller size makes it suitable for playing in cozy country clubs. What Is The Difference Between A Concert And A Dreadnought Guitar?

This makes the FS Series ideal for more intricate playing styles too. An outstanding playing experience with an affordable price tag.
