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.

REMEMBER TO STRETCH THE STRINGS!

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018

Style: AcousticSize: DreadnoughtColor: NaturalConfiguration: Guitar OnlyVerified Purchase

This guitar is an super-ok guitar, i have 0 complaints, $150 well spent, only thing you have to remember is they do not stretch the strings so when you get the guitar and tune it, you have to stretch the strings yourself, i didnt know that and was getting bad buzzing from my E string, but after realizing the strings were not stretched i stretched and re-tuned and the guitar sounds 100 times better! just thought id share that with the rest of you.

Great for new players

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016

Style: AcousticSize: DreadnoughtColor: NaturalConfiguration: Guitar OnlyVerified Purchase

I got this guitar just a couple months ago, not knowing much about guitars and not really knowing much about quality or anything I did a lot of research about what would be the best purchase for the right price for a beginner guitarist.. and I stumbled upon the Yamaha FG700, Fantastic reviews and ratings for beginners with great overall quality and overall sound, especially for the cost. I did a bit more research, comparing instruments and what not just to be sure I didn't purchase something that was made out of cardboard and shoe strings when I stumbled upon the Yamaha FG800, which was said to be the upgrade of the 700. I did some reading and though it didn't have as many reviews it was said to have improved sound and durability for the exact same price. Knowing that Yamaha has pretty much always been rather good quality I trusted my instinct and bought this guitar.. It sounds spectacular, easy to play and learn on.. Been playing for a month and already have two songs memorized of my own choice and taste. I don't know much about guitars but I will tell anyone who cares and is reading this review that it was a good buy and a good experience, no complaints, it sounds beautiful and looks just as beautiful in my eyes. 5 stars and have recommended it to others vocally as well.

Plays nice right out of the box

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019

Style: AcousticSize: ConcertColor: NaturalConfiguration: Guitar OnlyVerified Purchase

I'm not a very experienced guitar player, so I can't guarantee you that this guitar will wow someone who is a true connoisseur. However, I did look carefully into the options and found this to be a well regarded instrument. Three days of extensive playing in, I can confirm that it sounds great. What's more, I was able to take it right out the box and play it without any further "set up" than it received at the factory. Sometime down the road I might look into what a luthier could do to make it even sweeter, but for the time being I'm pleased with the action and intonation. The guitar stays in tune, has no buzzing frets, and intones with reasonable accuracy all the way down the fretboard (sometimes plus or minus a few cents). It's affordable (comparatively), good looking, nice sounding, and high quality. I'm happy.

Update: After owning the guitar for 8 months and playing it for hours every week, I have nothing but good things to say. It's got a great sound, a really comfortable size, and continues to stay in tune for multiple sessions. After several months of use I replaced the original strings and opted for a lighter gauge. The guitar kept its superb playability and the tone remained excellent (though changed slightly given the lighter strings).
I can now add, after developing more experience with acoustic guitars, that the neck is quite comfortable to play. That will, of course, be a matter of taste, but as a newbie I found it very easy to use pretty much right away. No regrets: this is a great guitar.

Fine Construction, Excellent Design, Superb Value

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017

Style: AcousticSize: DreadnoughtColor: NaturalConfiguration: Guitar OnlyVerified Purchase

I purchased this as a replacement for my acoustic guitar of 15 years. I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. The construction is excellent without gaps or excess glue around joints. The top is solid sitka spruce which is a very attractive feature at any price point let alone $200. The aesthetics on the DG800 are simple and the design on the head stock is painted and will rub off with time. However that has no bearing on the overall fit and finish of this guitar, both of which are excellent for a <$1000 guitar.

The greatest features of this guitar relate to its design. The instrument is quite light and has a good balance between neck and body making it easy to play while standing. Most important is the neck. The neck has a matte finish making playing very smooth even with sweaty hands and features a compound neck profile. Closer to the body the neck is fairly thin and flat making barre chords and individual notes comfortable to play. As you move closer to the head the shape becomes a deeper rounded rectangle that fits nicely in the hand and gives great comfort and support for open chord playing. I cannot say enough about how smooth and comfortable this neck is to play. It is worlds away from the more U shaped profile of my previous acoustic.

All of the above complements the excellent sound of the instrument. The bass is responsive and the treble clear and sweet. The whole package makes this a superb value. In my opinion the neck design alone makes this the best value guitar available. This guitar punches well above its weight competing with instruments $500 more expensive in terms of sound, fit, and design. If you are looking for an acoustic guitar below $700 this needs to be on your list of guitars to test drive.

this is a very nice product. It both looks and sounds very nice

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018

Style: AcousticSize: ConcertColor: NaturalConfiguration: Guitar OnlyVerified Purchase

For an entry level acoustic guitar, this is a very nice product. It both looks and sounds very nice. If you are a beginner, as I am, it is very important to have this guitar set up by a professional. The action from the factory is quite high and frustrating if you're new to guitar. Lowering the bridge and filing the nut, in addition to new strings, completely changes it and makes it so much easier to play.

Massively better than I expected for the price

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2017

Style: AcousticSize: DreadnoughtColor: NaturalConfiguration: Guitar OnlyVerified Purchase

Massively better than I expected for the price. Bought the guitar based on reviews. Haven't played (multiple reasons) for several years. Have owned several top end guitars, but just wanted something to play, out on the porch, at night. The sound is amazing. I did put lighter gauge strings on it, and lower the action just a bit. But a few bucks of added expense makes it play several hundred dollars better. .. impressed, even as it came out of the box.

Great guitar. I was worried about ordering it online but it came perfect. It has a crisp, full sound plugged and unplugged. Out of all the guitars I looked at between $300-500 this had the best sound, at least in my opinion. I use it to perform all the time.

Appario retail just sent the box without any inspection as if it was shampoo or soap.The guitar has nearly an inch action at 12th fret.Sounds good but you need gym hands to play.After investing nearly 18 grands will have to take it to a guitar shop for adjustments. Was traveling so couldnt return it before due date. Feeling pathetic.

Nicely crafted, great sounding, well setup strings.

Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2018

Style: AcousticSize: DreadnoughtColor: NaturalConfiguration: Guitar OnlyVerified Purchase

Craftsmanship: Yamaha quality. I've owned a couple Yamaha guitars and this one is consistent with their brand. The FG800 appears to be much higher quality in materials and design than most of its competitors at lower price points. The head, tuning pegs, and fretboard are much nice than Epiphone DR-100. I wasn't sure about the Natural spruce colour for the top when I ordered it, but it looks great. The strings are good quality and setup are very nice. Medium. They remain in tune over long periods.

Packaging: Packaged for shipment in a light, but highly-protected corrugated cardboard box with clear labels that it's a guitar. Surprised there was no damage but it arrived in perfect condition.

This set does not include any accessories which may be useful for beginners.

Great guitar to learn on, I could play this for several hours on end.
