Matt Finish for a natural, comfortable feel
-
Traditional Western Body for classic acoustic resonance
-
Solid Spruce Top for bright, clear tone
-
Nato/Okume Back & Sides offering warm mids similar to mahogany
Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing
Thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis by Yamaha’s R&D Division, the FG800M features a new scalloped bracing pattern. As a result, the guitar offers a louder, more powerful sound in the low- to mid-ranges while maintaining top board durability. Yamaha achieved this ideal structure through data-driven innovation, not tradition or guesswork.
Over 50 Years of FG Heritage
The FG Series began in 1966 with models like the FG180 and FG150. Since then, Yamaha has introduced over 200 FG models, constantly evolving to meet the needs of modern players. This rich history has made FG guitars the go-to acoustic for generations.
Crafted for a Lifetime
Every FG guitar is built with care. Yamaha hand-selects, cures, and dries each tonewood, applies beautiful hand-sprayed finishes, and performs detailed quality control checks. The result is a guitar designed to be a lifelong musical partner.
