Yamaha FGX800C Acoustic Electric Guitar – Natural

The Yamaha FGX800C is a reliable, great-sounding acoustic electric guitar built for players who want strong unplugged tone with the flexibility to plug in and perform. Based on Yamaha’s popular FG800 platform, it combines a solid spruce top, comfortable dreadnought body with cutaway, and a practical onboard pickup system, making it a smart choice for beginners, gigging players, and anyone needing a dependable all-round acoustic.

The solid spruce top delivers clear projection, good dynamic range, and improved tone over time, while the nato and okoume back and sides provide a warm, balanced midrange with crisp trebles. Yamaha’s scalloped bracing design enhances low- to mid-range response without sacrificing clarity or structural stability, giving the FGX800C a fuller, more confident sound.

A cutaway body allows easier access to higher frets, making lead lines and upper-neck playing more comfortable. Plugged in, the Yamaha System 66 pickup and preamp offers dependable amplified tone with simple, effective controls, including a 3-band EQ and onboard tuner. It’s equally at home on stage, at rehearsal, or for basic recording setups.

With decades of FG-series development behind it, the FGX800C reflects Yamaha’s focus on consistency, durability, and real-world usability.
