Overview
Living rooms, dorm rooms and porch steps suit the Yamaha FG800, a full dreadnought played unplugged. A spruce top over a nato back carries the sound, with a rosewood fretboard and a fixed bridge.
A big dreadnought body with a spruce top gives strong volume for strumming and singing along. The listing describes a used unit in a vintage natural AIMM variant, and no electronics are described, so playing through an amp needs extra gear.
Who it's for
Strummers and singers who play at home, around a campfire or in a dorm will get the most from a full dreadnought body. Players who perform through a PA, or who want a factory new guitar, should confirm the listing first or look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Spruce top over a nato back
- Phosphor bronze strings fitted
- Fixed bridge, simple to maintain
- Full dreadnought body for strong volume
- Listing bullet describes the unit as used
- Electronics not listed
- Heavy listed weight for a small player
Performance notes
Volume and low end come from the large dreadnought body and the spruce top flexing over a nato back. Phosphor bronze strings add warmth to the attack. Playing comfort depends on the setup of a used instrument, so action and fret wear matter more than the spec sheet.
