Strong sound from its very core

Improved bracing, immersive sound. The Yamaha FG800 features newly developed scalloped bracing. This specific type of bracing reinforces the FG800's top. Giving it the strength and durability to stay with you for a lifetime.

Not only does it prevent your acoustic from collapsing under string tension, but it enhances the overall sound too. Scalloping the bracing removes weight, and allows the top to vibrate more freely. The result is a fuller sound that's rich and distinctive. Yamaha's painstaking process and meticulous attention to detail have brought the best of the FG800 out. It's louder, with an unmistakably bigger sound. From the low to mid-ranges, right up to the high end - your instrument is full and beautifully balanced.
