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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful tone from scalloped bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA traditional dreadnought design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to last\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA natural, understated look\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional dreadnought body for strong volume and projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid spruce top with nato and okume back and sides for a warm, balanced tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScalloped bracing design for louder, stronger low and mid-range sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNato neck with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte finish across the body and neck for a natural feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack body binding and a tortoise pattern pickguard for understated styling\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody shape: Traditional Western (dreadnought)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Solid spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and sides: Nato and okume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Nato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard and bridge: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 650mm (25 9\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 43mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard radius: R400mm (15 3\/4 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of frets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of strings: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut and saddle material: Urea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge pins: Black ABS with white dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Die-cast chrome (TM29T)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundhole inlay: Black and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Tortoise pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Natural\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings fitted: Yamaha FS50BT (.012 to .053 gauge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62467632169347,"sku":"FG800MNTIIRL","price":259.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/0556\/7432\/files\/YAM_0015_FG800.jpg?v=1788968477","url":"https:\/\/www.normans.co.uk\/products\/yamaha-fg800m-acoustic-guitar-matte-natural","provider":"Normans Musical Instruments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
