If I buy this one will it buzz?** A: This is my second Yamaha guitar. I've found that the Yamaha guitars are terrific as far as their overall quality, but they need a professional setup. The bridge tends to be too high and the truss rod needs a slight adjustment. Take it to a quality luthier who will charge around $50 for a pro setup. Afterwards, it will sound and play like a $800 (or more) instrument. **Q: Does anybody have a fairly accurate measurement of the neck when measured at the nut? Thanks!** A: 43mm = the nut width = width of fretboard at the nut. **Q: Is it comfortable?** A: This was my first guitar. I found it very comfortable but then I bought a Taylor mini. Each has its place I still play then both **Q: Is it high or low action?** A: In my opinion it's extremely HIGH. It was so high that I took it to my guitar luthier who said " it's unplayable like that" He had to shave off a little of the bridge, adjust the Nut grooves and dress a couple of high frets at the 12th to get it in reasonable shape and for myself to be happy with it. The bass E is 2mm above the 12th fret now so within bounds. She plays and sounds okay but it's not my favourite guitar by a long chalk to be honest. Spends more time in its case! ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha FGX820C Solid Top Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural - Fender Premium Picks Sampler - 24 Pack Includes Thin, Medium & Heavy Gauges - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/28543106-yamaha-fgx820c-solid-top-cutaway-acoustic-electric-guitar-natural](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/28543106-yamaha-fgx820c-solid-top-cutaway-acoustic-electric-guitar-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
