Yamaha FG800M Acoustic Guitar - Matte Natural

The Yamaha FG800M Acoustic Guitar in Matte Natural is a traditional dreadnought style acoustic built with a solid spruce top and nato and okume back and sides, giving it a strong, well balanced tone with a warm midrange similar to mahogany. As part of Yamaha's long-running FG series, it suits guitarists who want a dependable, full-size acoustic for strumming and everyday playing, whether you're starting out or upgrading from a smaller beginner guitar.

Powerful tone from scalloped bracing
The FG800M uses a scalloped bracing pattern developed through Yamaha's acoustic analysis and simulation work, which strengthens the low and mid-range output without adding unnecessary bulk to the top. The result is a louder, more projected sound than you might expect from a guitar at this price point.

A traditional dreadnought design
The full-size traditional western body shape gives the FG800M plenty of volume and projection, making it well suited to strumming as well as fingerpicking across a range of musical styles. A 43mm nut width and set neck construction keep the playing feel familiar and comfortable for players moving up from smaller guitars.

Built to last
A nato neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, along with die-cast chrome tuners for reliable tuning stability. This combination of quality tonewoods and hardware reflects the same attention to detail that has defined the FG series since it launched in 1966.

A natural, understated look
An ultra-thin matte finish covers the body and neck, giving the FG800M a natural, tactile feel rather than a high-gloss shine. Black body binding, a black and white soundhole inlay and a tortoise pattern pickguard add a few understated design details without detracting from the guitar's simple, traditional looks.
