YAMAHA FSX800C Concert Size Acoustic Electric
The Yamaha FSX800C in Natural is one of those guitars that just works — easy to play, comfortable to hold, and ready for anything from the couch to the stage.
Based on the hugely popular FS800, this model keeps the solid spruce top for clear, articulate tone, and adds a cutaway body and onboard electronics so you can plug in and perform when you’re ready.
The smaller concert-style body makes it a great option for beginners, smaller players, or anyone who prefers a more compact acoustic, while still delivering a balanced sound with plenty of clarity and projection.
Built for Real-World Playing
This is a guitar that suits a wide range of players and situations:
• practicing at home
• open mic nights and small gigs
• songwriting and recording
• players moving from beginner to their next step
The tone is clean and balanced, with a nice midrange presence that works well for strumming and fingerstyle alike.
Plug In and Play
The FSX800C comes equipped with Yamaha’s System-66 pickup and preamp, giving you reliable, natural amplified sound when you need it.
With onboard controls including volume, 3-band EQ and a built-in tuner, it’s a simple, gig-ready setup that doesn’t require extra gear.
Key Features
• Concert-size cutaway body for comfort and easy upper fret access
• Solid spruce top for clear, responsive tone that improves over time
• Nato/okoume back and sides for warmth and balance
• Comfortable neck with 634 mm (25") scale length
• Yamaha System-66 pickup and preamp with built-in tuner
• 3-band EQ with mid frequency control for shaping your sound
• Die-cast tuners for stable, reliable tuning
• Lightweight body, ideal for longer playing sessions
FAQ
Is the FSX800C good for beginners?
Yes — the smaller body and comfortable neck make it very approachable, while still offering a quality tone that won’t hold you back as you improve.
Can I use this for live gigs?
Absolutely. The built-in pickup system makes it easy to plug into an amp or PA for open mics, church, or band settings.
How does it compare to a dreadnought?
The FSX800C has a smaller body, so it’s more comfortable and slightly more focused in tone, compared to the bigger, boomier sound of a dreadnought.
Why This Model Is So Popular
The FSX800C hits a sweet spot — affordable, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable to play.
It’s a guitar that suits beginners, but doesn’t feel like a “starter guitar,” which is why so many players stick with it long-term.
Looking to buy the Yamaha FSX800C? It’s available now at Coleman's Music in South Melbourne or online with fast shipping Australia-wide. We're a proudly independent, family owned Australian music store that knows gear and backs it with great service.
