What is the difference between a

Yamaha FG720S-12

and a

Yamaha FG820-12

????

I think the 800 series was where they changed to scalloped bracing - other than that the solid top FG-xxx line has been pretty similar for a couple of decades. Though people do report the bracing change as a positive for tone and volume.

Thanks...I own an FG820-12 and love it. I saw the other listed for sale for $125, and wondered what the differences were. I'll eventually find a comparative feature listing, but thought I'd ask, since I couldn't find one right away. Right now, the 820 gets all my playing time. It's hard to put down.
