The first choice in experiencing acoustic-electric music.
Derived from FG800 which has the solid spruce top and nato/okume back and sides, FGX800C has a cutaway body and the electric system. Yamaha's proprietary under-saddle piezo pickup and System66 analog preamp ensure the solid plugged-in performance.
Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing
A new FG has louder and stronger sound in the low- to mid-ranges, thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology developed by the Yamaha R&D Division. Yamahas engineers have achieved this sound by utilizing analysis and simulation to arrive at the best bracing design without depending on tradition or guesswork. This analysis led to the development of the new scalloped bracing pattern, a new and ideal acoustic structure that maintains the durability of the top board while bringing out the most sound the Yamaha FG has to offer.
50 Years of History
The history of Yamahas FG series started in 1966 with the release of the FG180 and FG150. Over the 50 years since its introduction, we have developed and produced several generations of FG - all of which have made FG the ideal acoustic for contemporary players. In all, there have been over 200 FG models since 1966.
Made in Yamaha
Every aspect of an FG is crafted to make a better guitar. From painstakingly cured and dried woods to beautiful hand-sprayed finishes and detailed quality control checks each and every FG is made to be a lifelong partner.
Electric System
System 66 feature an under-saddle piezo pickup developed by Yamaha. Controls include a 3-band EQ, an adjustable mid-range frequency control, and a precision chromatic tuner for optimum sound tailoring. The system is powered by easy to obtain AA-size batteries that provide a stable power supply for improved sound quality.

Thank you for video! I've bought same but sunburns one year ago. Very happy with it!
awesome stuff its a great guitar
would you recommend this model? or shall I pay extra for the rosewood version (FGX830C)
the only wood that matters is the top and the strings you use the rest means nothing even Martin Guitars admitted to that .
@ alrighty thanks I will go ahead and get the FGX800c
I bought this guitar. I got a good deal on it at a local store and loved how it sounded. Got it for almost $500 and they threw in a hard case.
sweet deal cant go wrong there
I Just put one in layway....20 bucks ...Going tomorrow to pay 95 ..didn't even tried it plugged in
Any thoughts on the Yamaha CPX 600 as a first guitar? I would very much appreciate your insight and what you would think as the CPX 600 being my first guitar to learn on, I think the only drawback would be the laminated top but is that really a bad thing? I’m a complete beginner and this would be my first guitar so would I be making a mistake going for a laminated top electro acoustic? From what I’ve seen on reddit posts, people tend to really hate on laminated tops lol
Edit: 100% have made up my mind on getting a brand new FGX800C.
i would say dont listen to other people listen to your own ears try a laminted top and try a solid top, see which you like better, solid top guitars thoe tend to sound better they come at the cost of being more carefull on heat and humidity over a laminted top which still need some attention but not near as cridical on keep and good eye on humidy heat is always a factor but humidty is not a cridictical to look after on laminated top guitars i dont mind the sound of a laminated top guitar its just fine but it does all boil down to your choice.,. as a beginner tho i would sudjest getting a decent guitar that plays well and is setup well to and get real lessons from an in poerson teacher for the fist 1 to 3 years this will give you the best chance of being a guitar player and a really good one to a great one,, you will never stop learning new stuff but you need the right start on the trip thats for sure..
Damn. I was gonna get this, but I really don’t want to drill into it or put in a strap button.
if you look it up on my channel i do belive i have a video on how install the strap button on the neck and its not hard to do if your that worried anymusic store should be able to it for you in less then 5 min
it needs a bone saddle and thats it, its a great guitar
depends on the tone your after it might be great or might be bad not all guitars like all strings and same goes for saddel and nut materals as well
How does it sound plugged-in? Do you have any sound samples you might be able to post up?
nope sorry i dont have this guitar anymore i go thru alot of gear and iam pretty much settles now on a right handed GS mini and a right handed SG, the rest of my stuff is lefty taylors and a Les Pual and a coverted Epiphone nylon classicial and iam getting another taylor by christmas lefty of course
@@KevinMillard68 well I guess I'll just have to go buy one myself! Thanks!
