You get the classic look and feel of a Yamaha guitar, a manufacturer well-known for their impressive acoustic guitars and other instruments.To sum up, Yamaha FS800 is a reliable and well-made acoustic guitar with a sound quality that exceeds its modest price tag by far. Another difference between the FS800 and FG800 is its sound, but not too distinct to make any complaints. Furthermore, the FS800 is smaller and thinner than models from the FG series, which makes it easy and more comfortable to play with. Plus, because it comes with a hardshell case, you are assured protection for your guitar whether you are on-the-go or storing it at home, making it the perfect model if you’re always traveling.

The latest series of the FS range offers a richer sound with better projection (particularly in the low to mid range) thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis techniques developed by our Guitar Research team, where a mix of real-world trials and detailed computer-based modelling andsimulation are used to determine the optimum bracing positions, negating the need for guesswork. Now for the big question, is there a sound difference between the 800 (this guitar) versus the 820 (mahogany) and 830 (rosewood). I watched a video on YouTube where the guy speaks Chinese, but then plays every Yamaha model 800 to 850 for both concert and dreadnoughts. I did not hear any significant difference between the spruce top 800 to 830 models. The 850 mahogany models sounded a little muffled in comparison though. Our FG and FS story began in 1966 with the release of the seminal FG180 and FG150. Over the 50 years since their introduction, we've developed and crafted several generations of FS guitars - all of which have reinforced the FS Series' position as the ideal small-bodied acoustic and electro-acoustic for contemporary players.
