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

• Solid spruce top delivers strong projection and responsive acoustic tone
• Mahogany back and sides provide warmth, depth, and balanced midrange response
• Dreadnought cutaway body offers full projection with upper-fret access
• SYSTEM66 electronics and under-saddle pickup deliver reliable amplified tone
• Black finish gives the guitar a clean modern stage-ready appearance

The Yamaha FGX820C builds on the proven FG platform by combining upgraded mahogany back and sides with practical stage-ready electronics and a versatile cutaway body design. Its solid spruce top delivers articulate projection and responsive dynamics, while the mahogany body adds warmth, fullness, and a more balanced midrange character.

Yamaha’s scalloped bracing design improves resonance and low-end response while maintaining strong note separation and clarity across a wide range of playing styles. The dreadnought cutaway body shape also provides the fullness and projection players expect from a full-size acoustic-electric while allowing easier upper-fret access for modern performance styles.

Equipped with Yamaha’s SYSTEM66 analog preamp and under-saddle piezo pickup, the FGX820C delivers dependable amplified acoustic tone with intuitive onboard controls for rehearsal, recording, and live performance use. The controls remain practical and straightforward, making the guitar easy to dial in during real-world stage situations.

Built with Yamaha’s long-standing reputation for consistency and reliability, the FGX820C is an excellent choice for players looking for a warm-sounding dreadnought acoustic-electric capable of handling both unplugged and amplified performance environments.
