Yamaha FSX800C Acoustic Electric Guitar - FSX800CRR

The Yamaha FSX 800C concert cutaway guitar is a small-body acoustic-electric version of the FGX800C dreadnought. The FSX 800C's small body shape along with its shorter string scale is great for guitarists wanting a smaller, more comfortable guitar. 

Choice woods, the finest craftsmanship, and a smaller folk-style body make the Yamaha FSX800C small-body acoustic-electric guitar an alternative to the larger-bodied FG Series guitars. A precise, smooth response and a sweet, focused tone make this a great choice for recording or fingerpicking. 

The System 66 electronics on the FSX800C Yamaha guitar are designed and developed by Yamaha and feature an under-saddle piezo pickup. 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 AA batteries that provide a stable power supply for improved sound quality.

The FSX800C Yamaha guitar's combination of quality components and craftsmanship make it a Yamaha acoustic-electric guitar that produces great tone and playability, on a lunch-money budget! Add it to the cart and get yours on its way.
