Yamaha FS800 NT Natural Acoustic Guitar

General

If you're looking for a Yamaha acoustic guitar, then in terms of quality alone, you'll have plenty to choose from. There are the 800, 820, 830, and 850 models to consider, and each model has its own FS Series and FG Series editions, and all come in various different colour finishes, so you're very literally spoilt for choice. Simplifying things, the FS800 and FG800 could be seen as the entry-level models, and while every model up has been given more deluxe tweaks and upgrades, at the core, you get the same high-quality build and the strong resonance of a solid soundboard.

The Yamaha FS800: Warm Look & Great Sustain

This edition of the Yamaha FS800 has the warm and lightly aged look of a natural lacquer finish and is characterised by the tighter playability of a concert shaped body, which is smaller and more rounded than the FG Series dreadnought. Also, since the 800 Series is the next step up from the 700 Series, this model features the improved feel of a slimmer neck and the more defined bass and mid-frequency projection provided by scalloped interior bracing. What the FS800 retains from the 700 Series is the rich sonic impact of a solid spruce soundboard and that all-important Yamaha-grade quality of build and finish.
