Yamaha FSX800C Concert Cutaway - Ruby Red Review

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!

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.
