Product Description

Yamaha's standard acoustic model, with simple and traditional looks and outstanding quality, at an affordable price. A solid-top guitar with authentic sound that is well balanced without sacrificing its robust strength, thanks to the newly developed scalloped bracing design. Can be confidently recommended to all beginner guitarists.


From the manufacturer


50 Years of History

The 800 Series has a louder and stronger sound in the low to mid-ranges, thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology developed by Yamaha. Yamaha’s engineers have achieved this sound by utilizing analysis and simulation to arrive at the best bracing design without depending on tradition.

The YAMAHA FG/FS 800 Series

When it was introduced in 1966, the Yamaha FG proved that a great acoustic guitar didn’t need to cost a fortune. With a focus on great playability, musical tone and outstanding build quality, the original FG180 quickly became a classic with countless careers and hit records starting life on an FG. More than 50 years later, this new range features the best-ever FG tone and the same great playability and class-leading quality that’s made it the choice of millions of guitarists.

Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing

The 800 Series features a new scalloped bracing pattern; an ideal acoustic structure that maintains the durability of the top board, while bringing out more of the natural sound of the instrument.

The Power of Choice

2 body shapes, including an all-new FS concert size; 5 grades featuring different tonewood options; a myriad of color options; acoustic or electric-acoustic models. Whatever the personality of your music, there’s an FG to match.

Made in Yamaha

Every aspect is crafted to make a better guitar. From painstakingly cured and dried woods to beautiful hand-sprayed finishes and detailed quality control, each and every FG is made to be a lifelong partner.

Yamaha has it figured out

Yamaha has it figured out
It cracks me up reading some of these reviews.... Especially the ones that say it isn't loud enough(it projects very, very well). Long time guitar player here (28 years), went into the store to pick out a new primary acoustic guitar. Being made from wood, each guitar can be a bit different. Being budget made in a factory, each guitar is set up a bit differently. So in other words, each one can play, sound and feel different. Picked this one out of three "identical" FGX800c guitars because it was superb. I tested Taylor, Martin, Fender, Ibanez and a more expensive Yamaha, but kept this one. This one particular guitar sounded the brightest and deepest. The neck is a matte finish and not high gloss, so it isn't sticky. The action isn't too high. No fret buzz at all. Projects well, even with 5 other players in the room. The only guitar that was similar was a Taylor that was almost 5 times the price. I wouldn't recommend this guitar to a beginner as other reviews stated, simply because the fretboard is quite wide, but the C shaped neck is flat, so it fits me perfectly. With that said, I learned to play on a Mitchell that was a destroyer of fingertips and a case of carpel tunnel waiting to happen, but it made my hands very strong and now I can play anything. So use your own judgement. The "sand burst" is very pretty and stands out from other guitars. The electronics are okay, nothing special, I haven't had any issues with feedback. Read the review on keeping the humidity right, I find that one interesting and will probably give his recommendation a try.Bottom line: I could've purchased whatever guitar I wanted, I bought this one. Don't get hung up on price (more expensive doesn't equal better). Go with how it sounds and feels.Good luck and happy picking!
Thank you for your feedback
