Yamaha FG800 Solid Top Acoustic Guitar

Yamaha FG800 AcousticAre you looking for a real guitar that is still affordable? Then a Yamaha FG800 is a great choice. FG series guitars, as a whole, are known for their reliability.

Yamaha, once again, offers top value for the price. The guitar is a good build and works for most skill levels. This guitar will meet your needs for many years.

The Yamaha FG800, as close to a traditional dreadnought as possible, comes with a solid spruce top, Nato sides and back, and scalloped bracing, which enhances the sonic quality. It is also a full-scale dreadnought.

Nato, an Eastern Mahogany, has similar characteristics to regular mahogany. It offers a cost-effective way to build guitars that look great with great tonal quality.

The smooth neck makes the FG800 very comfortable to play. The fretboard is made of rosewood, but the nut and saddle are made of a plastic that is more resistant to wear, resulting in less maintenance.

The sound from the FG800 is unexpectedly well-rounded for the price.

Yamaha’s technology contributes to a strong sound in the low and mid ranges.

Both of the Yamahas listed are more reasonable for a beginner not needing a short-scale, starting at approximately $219 each.
