The Yamaha FGX800C takes the familiar foundation of the FG800 and adds a comfortable cutaway and stage-ready electronics. With a solid spruce top, nato/okoume back and sides, scalloped bracing, and Yamaha's SYSTEM66 preamp with SRT piezo pickup, it is designed to work well both acoustically and when plugged in.
The FGX800C uses a traditional Western cutaway body that provides a familiar acoustic guitar feel while giving players easier access to the upper frets. Its 25 9/16-inch scale, 43mm nut width, and 11mm string spacing offer a conventional playing platform for strumming, flatpicking, songwriting, lessons, and general-purpose acoustic playing.
A solid spruce top gives the FGX800C a responsive acoustic foundation. The nato/okoume back and sides complement the spruce top, while Yamaha's scalloped bracing is designed to support the guitar's acoustic response and projection.
The FGX800C is equipped with Yamaha's SYSTEM66 electronics and SRT piezo pickup. The onboard controls provide volume, 3-band EQ, tuner, and mid-frequency adjustment, giving players practical control when connecting the guitar to an acoustic amplifier, PA, or other compatible equipment. The LINE OUT connection keeps the setup straightforward for rehearsals and live performance.
The FGX800C is a practical choice for players who want one acoustic guitar that can cover both unplugged playing and amplified work. The solid spruce top provides the acoustic foundation, while the cutaway makes the upper register easier to reach. When it's time to plug in, the SYSTEM66 electronics provide built-in EQ and tuning controls without requiring additional onboard equipment.
