Description

The Yamaha FG82012NT is a classic 12 string acoustic that delivers rich, shimmering chords and a warm, full-bodied tone in a traditional Western body. With a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides and Yamaha’s advanced scalloped bracing, it offers impressive projection, clarity and depth, making it ideal for singer-songwriters, accompaniment and anyone chasing that unmistakable 12 string sparkle. Drawing on over 50 years of FG heritage, Yamaha have refined the FG820-12 to capture the character of the original FG180 while adding more volume, more low end and a more responsive feel. A comfortable neck profile, thin finish and carefully voiced internal bracing all work together to give you a guitar that feels easy to play and sounds inspiring every time you pick it up. Classic 12 String Sound with Modern Playability The FG82012NT delivers the lush, chorus-like sound that only a 12 string can provide, with octave and unison pairs adding natural shimmer to every chord and arpeggio. Yamaha’s slim, comfortable neck and 46 mm nut width help keep the extra strings manageable, so you can enjoy that big, expansive sound without fighting the instrument. Solid Spruce Top for Lifetime Tone A solid spruce top is at the heart of the FG820-12’s voice, offering excellent clarity, dynamic range and long-term tonal development. As the guitar is played over time, the top opens up and becomes even more resonant, rewarding regular use with a richer, more expressive sound that continues to improve. Warm Mahogany Back and Sides Mahogany back and sides provide a warm, focused midrange that balances the natural brightness of spruce and the extra shimmer of 12 strings. The result is a strong, supportive sound that sits beautifully behind vocals, with enough definition to cut through a mix while still feeling smooth and musical. Advanced Scalloped Bracing for Power and Projection Inside the body, Yamaha’s newly developed scalloped bracing pattern has been carefully engineered using acoustic analysis to maximise volume and resonance while maintaining durability. This design enhances low to mid-range power, moves the resonant centre closer to the middle of the guitar and gives the player a more responsive, lively feel under the hands. Built on 50 Years of FG Heritage Since 1966, Yamaha’s FG series has been a go-to choice for players seeking reliable, great-sounding acoustics. The FG820-12 continues this legacy, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design insight to deliver a dependable 12 string that feels familiar yet refined, ready to be a long-term musical partner. Key Features Solid Spruce Top – A solid spruce soundboard offers excellent clarity, projection and dynamic response, giving your 12 string tone plenty of sparkle and headroom. As it ages, the top becomes even more resonant, so the guitar’s voice improves the more you play it. Mahogany Back and Sides – Mahogany delivers a rich midrange and warm, strong sound that complements the natural brightness of the 12 string format. This combination helps your chords sound full and balanced, with a quick response that is ideal for both strumming and fingerpicking. Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing – Yamaha’s advanced scalloped bracing boosts low to mid-range power and overall projection while keeping the top structurally secure. This gives you a bigger, more authoritative acoustic voice that still feels controlled and musical. Comfortable Traditional Western Body – The full-size Traditional Western body shape provides plenty of natural volume and resonance, while the 634 mm scale length and slim neck profile help keep playability smooth and comfortable, even with the extra tension of 12 strings.
