Yamaha FS830 Concert Acoustic Guitar (Dusk Sun Red) — Solid Spruce Top / Rosewood Back & Sides — Very Good Condition

Small-body Concert feel with rich overtones and a comfortable, easy-playing neck
This Yamaha FS830 is the “FS” line Concert body (often called “small body” in everyday terms), making it super comfortable to hold while still delivering a full, balanced sound. The solid spruce top keeps the attack clear and lively, while the rosewood back/sides add depth and sustain—great for strumming, fingerpicking, and recording. Finished in a sharp Dusk Sun Red burst with classy binding and rosette details, it’s a solid step-up acoustic that feels refined without being fragile or fussy.
 
Condition:
Very good overall—plays great with no structural issues. There’s a small cosmetic ding on the front lower right edge/binding area (see second to last photo), and a cosmetic hazing/finish blemish on the lower back that looks like it’s from a cleaning product (see last photo). No cracks, no separations, and nothing that affects playability.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is it a “small body” or a “concert” guitar?
A: Yamaha’s official body type is Concert (FS series). “Small body” is just the common nickname compared to dreadnoughts.

Q: Does it have electronics (pickup/preamp)?
A: No, this is an acoustic-only model (no built-in pickup).
Q: What’s it best for?
A: Comfortable daily player—great for fingerpicking, lighter strumming, and recording where you want clarity without a big dreadnought feel.
