YAMAHA FS800 Small Body Solid Top Acoustic Guitar, Natural

Fantastic. This guitar is only a bit smaller than the regular dreadnaughts, but it is just enough to make playing the guitar easier. The quality of the guitar is great. The action on the strings is low without experiencing any buzzing or ringing. The sound quality with the solid top is great. I would buy again though don't expect to need to do so!

Built is good. Strings needs to be changed. And setup the string height and you are good to rock.

Great guitar, had to get use to smaller size but fantastic sound, plugged or unplugged! Yamaha makes great instruments!

The Yamaha FS800 deserves all of its accolades. It's a great guitar. I consider myself on the low end of intermediate and I just love this guitar. I give it a five-star rating, but with the caveat that I needed to take it to my local guitar shop to have it professionally set-up and replaced the factory strings with Elixirs. It was playable, but the action was too high, and the neck needed some modest adjustments. But with those updates it sounds and plays amazing. While this is positioned as an entry-level guitar, it's a great guitar for anyone at any level. Your first guitar, a second guitar for an experienced player, etc. I love the slightly smaller size, the look. It's definitely a worthy investment. Guitar strings and guitar tone preferences are very personal. For me it took a few rounds of trying different strings to get the sound I like. I loved the guitar from the start, but my string choices led the guitar to sound a bit too twangy and boxy for my taste. Part of that is the function of a slightly smaller body. But I still wanted a bit more depth to the sound. After many experiments, I ended up using Martin Retro Monel Light guitar strings. They really make the guitar have a bit more depth to the sound but also lend a nice brightness. While my sound preference is personal and may not apply everyone, I wanted to share my string journey.

Une guitare magnifique...j'adore..!!
