The FG800 Acoustic Folk Guitar is part of Yamaha's popular FG series and is a fantastic choice for beginner acoustic guitar players. This guitar uses nato wood for its back and sides which is similar to mahogany in its warmth and balance. Compared to the earlier FG700 model, the FG800 uses scalloped bracing which fosters a bigger sound with better projection. Yamaha FG guitars like the FG800 are not only great for beginners, but are a reliable option for seasoned players looking for a backup guitar to keep around the office or by the sofa.
