    From the manufacturer


    50 Years of History

    The history of Yamaha‘s FG series started in 1966 with the release of the FG180 and FG150. Over the 50 years since its introduction, we have developed and produced several generations of FG - all of which have made FG the ideal acoustic for contemporary players. In all, there have been over 200 FG models since 1966.

    The YAMAHA FG/FS 800 Series

    When it was introduced in 1966, the Yamaha FG proved that a great acoustic guitar didn’t need to cost a fortune. With a focus on great playability, musical tone and outstanding build quality, the original FG180 quickly became a classic with countless careers and hit records starting life on an FG. 50 years since the introduction of the FG acoustics, the new range features the best-ever FG tone and the same great playability and class-leading quality that’s made it the choice of millions of guitarists.

    The 800 Series has a louder and stronger sound in the low to mid-ranges, thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology developed by the Yamaha R&D Division. Yamaha’s engineers have achieved this sound by utilizing analysis and simulation to arrive at the best bracing design without depending on tradition.

    Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing

    The 800 Series features a new scalloped bracing pattern; an ideal acoustic structure that maintains the durability of the top board, while bringing out more of the natural sound of the instrument.

    The Power of Choice

    2 body shapes, including an all-new FS concert size; 5 grades featuring different tonewood options; a myriad of color options; acoustic or electric-acoustic models. Whatever the personality of your music, there’s an FG to match.

    Made in Yamaha

    Every aspect is crafted to make a better guitar. From painstakingly cured and dried woods to beautiful hand-sprayed finishes and detailed quality control, each and every FG is made to be a lifelong partner.

    Amazing guitar and amazing delivery. I was looking to buy a good guitar under 20k. Got a good deal from maa durga enterprises seller. Received the product nicely packed and safe, within stipulated time... everything as listed... For the guitar fg800 from yamaha is one of the best solid sitka spruce top guitar, in this price range. However action on guitar, out of the box is little on a higher side but very much playable. Will need a set up job but this is expected for any new guitar. Tone is fantastic and sustain is lovely. Projects sound really well... I am loving it 😍
