The Yamaha FSX800C Ruby Red combines comfortable playability, warm acoustic tone, and dependable onboard electronics in a compact concert-style acoustic-electric guitar designed for players who want great performance at an approachable price.
Derived from Yamaha’s highly respected FS800 platform, the FSX800C adds a cutaway body design and built-in electronics while maintaining the balanced, articulate voice that has made the FS Series a longtime favorite among players of all experience levels.
The solid spruce top delivers excellent clarity, dynamic response, and projection, while the nato/okume back and sides provide warmth and balanced midrange character that works especially well for fingerstyle playing, singer-songwriter accompaniment, and light-to-medium strumming.
Yamaha’s newly developed scalloped bracing helps improve resonance and responsiveness, giving the FSX800C a lively and expressive feel that responds beautifully to a wide range of playing styles.
The smaller concert-style body feels comfortable and manageable, making it an excellent choice for younger players, smaller-framed musicians, or anyone who prefers a more compact acoustic guitar without sacrificing tone.
Plugged in, Yamaha’s under-saddle piezo pickup and System66 analog preamp provide reliable amplified tone for live performance, rehearsals, recording, and worship settings. Onboard controls allow quick adjustment of volume and EQ directly from the guitar.
Finished in a striking Ruby Red gloss, the FSX800C stands out visually while maintaining Yamaha’s reputation for quality craftsmanship and dependable performance.
