Yamaha FGX800C Natural — Stage-Ready Dreadnought with Classic FG Tone

This acoustic-electric guitar carries forward Yamaha's iconic FG heritage, blending a traditional Western dreadnought body with modern plug-and-play electronics. Built around a solid spruce top and nato/okoume back and sides, the Yamaha FGX800C Natural delivers the warm, full-bodied acoustic voice that has defined the FG line since 1966. It is the right choice for players who want authentic dreadnought projection with built-in electronics.

Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing and SRT Piezo Pickup

What sets this model apart is Yamaha's newly developed scalloped bracing pattern, which lightens the top for a more responsive sound. The proprietary SRT piezo pickup paired with the System66 analog preamp captures the natural acoustic character, with mid-frequency control for tone sculpting.

Solid Spruce Top with Dreadnought Projection

The solid spruce top offers the dynamic range and tonal complexity of a solid wood soundboard. Combined with nato/okoume back and sides and Yamaha's scalloped bracing, the Traditional Western body shape produces the strong low-end, pronounced midrange, and clear highs that dreadnought players rely on.

• Top Material: Solid Spruce — dynamic, resonant soundboard
• Body Shape: Traditional Western Cutaway — full dreadnought projection with upper-fret access
• A body depth of 100–118 mm provides the substantial air cavity needed for loud, balanced acoustic output.

Comfortable Nato Neck with Matte Finish

A nato neck topped with a rosewood fingerboard provides a stable, familiar playing feel. The matte neck finish reduces stickiness during long sessions, while the 650 mm scale length and 43 mm nut width offer balanced string tension.

• Neck Material: Nato — stable, durable tonewood for reliable performance
• The rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface with balanced tonal response.
• Nut Width: 43 mm — comfortable spacing for fingerstyle and strumming

System66 Preamp and SRT Piezo for Plugged-In Performance

The onboard electronics transform this dreadnought into a true stage instrument. Yamaha's System66 analog preamp offers volume control, 3-band EQ, an adjustable mid-frequency point, and a built-in tuner. The undersaddle SRT piezo pickup captures every nuance of the player's attack, while die-cast chrome tuners keep the guitar in tune.

• Pickup: SRT Piezo (undersaddle) — captures string vibration with studio-grade detail
• The SYSTEM66 analog preamp delivers volume, 3-band EQ, mid-frequency sweep, and onboard tuner from the soundhole
• Tuners: Die-Cast Chrome (TM29T) — reliable tuning stability for live performance

Ideal for Gigging Guitarists, Singer-Songwriters, and Intermediate Players

The FGX800C Natural is the right choice for gigging musicians and singer-songwriters needing a reliable acoustic-electric. Intermediate players upgrading from a beginner guitar will appreciate the solid spruce top and stage-ready electronics. The cutaway design suits rhythm players wanting full dreadnought volume and lead players needing clean upper-fret access.

The Yamaha FG Legacy Since 1966

When the Yamaha FG series was introduced in 1966, the original FG180 proved that a great acoustic guitar did not need to cost a fortune. With a focus on playability, musical tone, and build quality, the FG quickly became a classic.
