Rich overtones and improved sustain thanks to the rosewood back and sides deliver improved sound through greater 'depth'. The appearance, with abalone inlay around the sound hole, is more luxurious and an obvious step-up. The small and thin body is perfect not only for female/young players but for intermediate to upper level finger-picking style players.

Features
• Small body
• Solid spruce top
• Rosewood back & sides
• Newly developed scalloped bracing
• Rich overtones
• Available in 3 colours: Natural, Dusk Sun Red and Tobacco Brown Sunburst

My salesrep Brodie advised to bring my guitar back after 90 days to have a set up done . We knew the action was high but not unplayable when I first took it home . Brodie told me to make a list of what I wanted done and purchase a new set of strings they would install. Long story short , the set up was amazing , action was where it should be , frets polished and the sharp ends rounded off. Then polished etc . They did a fantastic job and this guitar plays as well as my aj45 masterbilt which was considerably more expensive. It has beautiful tone and the sustain just keeps ringing on. This guitar plays , sounds and feels far better than I would have expected. This is a guitar that you could buy as your first and have years of playing ahead , even as you progress I can't imagine needing anything else for a good long time. This was the first guitar of a smaller size I had ever played . I always owned Dreds and Jumbos . I found an almost immediate improvement in my playing, and only continued the more I played . I've sold 0ne of my dreds already with another possible to go. For anyone who isn't a big person you will.find you aren't reaching like the dred feels . Yet the volume and tone won't disappoint at all.

I had bought a new Hummingbird Pro in March 2023 from Brodie , chinook Calgary. There was nothing wrong with it , other than it just didn't fit me well. I stopped in a couple weeks ago and spoke to Brodie about the Hummingbird. It wasn't his fault nor the store that I just didn't connect. I mentioned that I would be interested in a FS830, I had played a FS800 enough to be confident this would be good for me . I told Brodie that I wanted to buy one , but financially I had to sell the Hummingbird before I could buy the new one . He suggested I could trade it , rather than waiting to sell private . Came back a few days later and got it appraised, and was given a more than fair price as well as fair on the case . Thank you Brodie for making it easy ! The guitar itself is amazing! The quality and precision are not seen on guitars in this price range . I did change the strings to custom light and nothing was lost . It did make a comfortable guitar better. I also played the FG830 . It too was great , but I was looking to go smaller. Otherwise you can't go wrong with this series .

I absolutely love my Yamaha! This guitar is a bit smaller, which works due to my sore shoulders. The sound is beautiful. Just an all-around awesome guitar.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
