A concert-style acoustic-electric guitar designed for players who want balanced tone, comfortable playability, and dependable plugged-in performance in a warm vintage-style finish.
- Solid spruce top delivers clear articulation and responsive acoustic dynamics
- Concert cutaway body offers balanced projection with comfortable handling
- Scalloped bracing enhances resonance and tonal warmth
- SYSTEM66 electronics provide natural amplified acoustic tone
- Sand Burst finish adds warm vintage-style visual character
The Yamaha FSX800C combines the comfortable feel of Yamaha’s concert-body FS platform with practical stage-ready electronics and a modern cutaway design built for live performance. Its solid spruce top delivers articulate projection and responsive dynamics, while the compact concert body shape keeps the playing experience comfortable and controlled during long rehearsals, recording sessions, or live sets.
Yamaha’s scalloped bracing design improves resonance and low-end warmth while maintaining excellent note separation and tonal clarity across a wide variety of playing styles. Compared to a larger dreadnought body, the FSX800C delivers a more focused acoustic response that works especially well for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and musicians who prefer balanced articulation and playing comfort.
Equipped with Yamaha’s SYSTEM66 electronics and under-saddle piezo pickup, the FSX800C provides dependable amplified tone with intuitive onboard controls for rehearsal, recording, and live performance. The Sand Burst finish gives the guitar a warm vintage-style appearance while maintaining the clean and understated design language Yamaha acoustics are known for.
