Yamaha FGX800C Electro-Acoustic Guitar
The Yamaha FGX800C is a dreadnought-style electro-acoustic guitar designed for musicians who want powerful acoustic sound with the flexibility of amplified performance. It features a solid spruce top that delivers clear, balanced tones with strong projection. Its traditional Western cutaway body provides comfortable handling and easier access to the higher frets, making it suitable for strumming, fingerpicking, songwriting, and live performances.
The guitar features nato/okoume back and sides, a nato neck, and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Its scalloped bracing enhances the top's vibration and helps produce a rich, responsive acoustic sound. The steel strings provide bright tonal clarity, while the solid spruce top offers versatility across different playing styles.
For amplified performance, the FGX800C is equipped with Yamaha's SYSTEM66 preamp and SRT piezo pickup system. Its onboard controls include volume, a three-band equalizer, a built-in tuner, and mid-frequency adjustment, allowing players to shape their amplified tone. A LINE OUT connection makes it easy to connect the guitar to an amplifier or compatible sound system. Its gloss body finish and die-cast chrome tuning machines complete its practical design.
