Yamaha FSX800C Concert Cutaway Review

FSX-800C

This is my first acoustic guitar.It arrived in great shape. So far I am loving it. The only thing on that I will change is the action. It seems to be a little high for me. I love the sound and it looks great.

This guitar is a win for the budget

After trying a few fenders, epis, breedloves, de Angelicos and yamahas in the $ range over the last couple of months, bought this without trying out first. I am truly astonished at how good this guitar sounds and feels. No wonder it's not in stock often. My experience playing guitar is by no measure at a level where i can objectively comment on the pros/cons of any guitar but personally… read more this is by far the best acoustic guitar i have played. I am sure there are much expensive guitars out there with face melting tones and feel but for the price, one would be hard-pressed to find a competitor. As always, the service provided by Sweetwater and its staff is impeccable.

Sings

This guitar arrived in tune and ready to go. It has an excellent tone and projection, sounding clean and bright with lots of resonance. Pretty to look at as well!

You can’t go wrong with this guitar

Wonderful tone, perfect shape when I got it. The way sweetwater packs items, there is no way it could be damaged in shipment. I just ordered a case, the yamaha matching case. And one of the best things is dealing with sweetwater. Great people. You not just a number with them. Your a fellow musician.

Love Ruby Red

I've been eyeing this guitar for months on Sweetwater loving the looks and colors of it, I gave it a try I wanted an acoustic electric cutaway which I didn't have, it's absolutely beautiful more so in person than online the rich red color and gloss and darker sides and back, I love it so much, the sound is so good unplugged but plugged in it's incredible even better sounding. it's… read more smaller size and very lightweight the frets are prefect no buzz no dead spots, feels so good to play, there's only one thing I need to do with it and it's to lower the action a bit, as Charlie Davis my sales engineer told me the factory set up on acoustic guitars is a bit higher action since it's easier to lower it than raise it which makes sense, everyone has different tastes with action I would say, I like it very low easier for me to play. I'm going to do it myself sanding down the bridge saddle. Charlie and everyone there are a great help and very courteous and knowledge, Sweetwater really cares for their customers,the packaging was awesome and delivery time so fast, can't beat the service here. Thank you guys.

Fantastic Acoustic

I was in the market for an acoustic guitar and had a budget of up to $1,500. When I arrived at my local shop, I went straight for the Taylors, Martins, Gibsons, and other high end acoustics. Although many of them were great guitars none of them spoke to me or had any "wow" factor. This Yamaha was sitting near by, and, having owned a Yamaha acoustic in the last, I decided to give… read more it a spin. I"m glad I did. This guitar isn"t just great for the price, it"s simply just a great guitar. The build is solid, the feel is great, the electronics are awesome, and the acoustic tone is nice. Surprisingly, the acoustic tone might be the weakest part of the instrument, but it is by no means bad. I highly recommend this instrument to anyone looking to add an acoustic to their collection!
