Yamaha FGX800C Acoustic Guitar

For the player who wants to take their acoustic sound to the stage without compromising on tone, the Yamaha FGX800C is the perfect instrument. Derived from the acclaimed FG800, this traditional western cutaway electro-acoustic guitar combines the rich, natural resonance of a solid spruce top with the stage-ready performance of Yamaha's proprietary SRT piezo pickup system and System66 analog preamp, delivering a plugged-in tone that is natural, clear, and free from unwanted buzz or harshness. The cutaway body design provides effortless access to the upper frets, making it as comfortable for lead playing and fingerpicking as it is for rhythmic strumming. At the heart of the FGX800C's exceptional acoustic performance is Yamaha's newly developed scalloped bracing pattern, engineered using cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology to produce a louder and stronger sound in the low to mid frequency ranges without compromising the structural integrity of the top. Nato and okume back and sides complement the solid spruce top beautifully, while the walnut fingerboard and bridge add a smooth, refined playability and a warm tonal character that rewards every style of playing. Every aspect of this guitar, from the carefully cured and dried woods to the hand-sprayed gloss finish and detailed quality control checks, reflects Yamaha's commitment to building a lifelong partner for every musician who plays it.
