Yamaha FGX800C Acoustic/Electric Guitar!        Note: This Guitar Does Not Come with a GigBag or Hardshell Case.

The Yamaha FGX800C brings together the powerful, full-bodied sound of a traditional dreadnought with the versatility of a cutaway and onboard electronics. Featuring a solid spruce top, scalloped bracing, Nato/Okoume back and sides, and Yamaha System66 electronics, the FGX800C is an outstanding choice for players who want one affordable acoustic-electric that can handle home playing, rehearsals, songwriting, recording and the stage.

The FGX800C is based on Yamaha's popular FG800 platform, adding a cutaway for easier upper-fret access and a complete pickup/preamp system for amplified performance. At Northeast Music Center, we consider this a particularly strong value for players who want genuine solid-top construction and stage-ready electronics without making a major jump in price.

Big Acoustic Sound with a Solid Spruce Top

The FGX800C's dreadnought-style body delivers the projection, low-end presence and strong acoustic voice that players expect from a full-size guitar.

At its heart is a solid spruce top, one of the most important features to look for when shopping for an acoustic guitar in this price range. Spruce provides an excellent balance of clarity, dynamic range and projection, allowing the FGX800C to respond equally well to lighter playing and aggressive strumming.

Yamaha's scalloped bracing helps the top move more freely and contributes to the guitar's strong, balanced acoustic response.

Built to Plug In

The FGX800C isn't simply an FG800 with a cutaway. Yamaha equips it with its System66 analog preamp and SRT piezo pickup, making this guitar ready for amplification right out of the box.

The onboard controls include Volume, 3-Band EQ, adjustable Mid Frequency and a built-in tuner, giving players practical control over their amplified sound without making the system unnecessarily complicated.

Whether you're playing through an acoustic amplifier, PA system or recording setup, the FGX800C gives you the flexibility to move easily from unplugged practice to amplified performance.

Cutaway Access & Comfortable Playability

The cutaway provides easier access to the upper frets while retaining the familiar feel and acoustic power of Yamaha's full-size dreadnought design.

A 25 9/16" scale length gives the FGX800C the traditional response and string tension many dreadnought players prefer, while the 1 11/16" nut width keeps the neck comfortable for both chord work and single-note playing.

The matte neck finish provides a smooth feel in the hand, while the walnut fingerboard and bridge complete a straightforward design focused on performance rather than unnecessary ornamentation.

Serious Value for New and Experienced Players

For a developing guitarist, the FGX800C offers enough quality and versatility that there is no immediate need to outgrow it. For an experienced player, it makes an excellent working acoustic-electric for rehearsals, songwriting, lessons, open mics and gigs.

That's one reason we like guitars such as the FGX800C at Northeast Music Center. Yamaha has concentrated the investment where players can actually hear and feel it: solid-top construction, dependable build quality, comfortable playability and useful electronics.

Visit Northeast Music Center and experience the Yamaha FGX800C for yourself. If you're looking for an affordable acoustic-electric that can serve equally well on the couch, in the studio or plugged into a PA, this one deserves a serious look.
