Solid spruce top
Forms the soundboard of this acoustic guitar.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around a dreadnought body and 12-string layout, the FG820-12 combines a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides. Yamaha pairs that wood selection with scalloped bracing for an authentic, balanced acoustic voice with added warmth and strength. The natural gloss finish and cream binding keep the appearance traditional while giving the instrument a more finished look. It is a right-handed, 20-fret acoustic with a 25-inch scale length.
