A dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric designed for players who want powerful projection, balanced tone, and dependable stage-ready performance.

• Solid spruce top delivers strong projection and responsive acoustic tone


• Dreadnought cutaway body provides full low-end presence with upper-fret access


• Scalloped bracing enhances resonance and tonal balance


• SYSTEM66 electronics with under-saddle piezo pickup offer natural amplified sound


• Sand Burst finish delivers a warm vintage-inspired appearance

The Yamaha FGX800C combines the proven acoustic performance of the FG800 platform with practical stage-ready electronics and a cutaway body design built for modern players. Its solid spruce top provides articulate response and dynamic projection, while the dreadnought body shape delivers the powerful acoustic voice many players expect from a full-size steel-string acoustic.

Yamaha’s scalloped bracing improves resonance and low-end warmth while maintaining excellent clarity and note separation across a wide range of playing styles. The cutaway body design also allows easier access to higher frets for live performance and more modern acoustic playing techniques.

Equipped with Yamaha’s SYSTEM66 electronics and under-saddle piezo pickup, the FGX800C delivers dependable amplified tone with intuitive onboard controls for rehearsal, recording, and stage use. The controls feel practical and straightforward rather than overcomplicated, making the guitar easy to dial in during real-world performance situations.

Built with Yamaha’s long-standing reputation for consistency and reliability, the FGX800C is an excellent choice for players looking for a versatile acoustic-electric that performs equally well unplugged and on stage.
