The newly developed scalloped bracing produces a warm and powerful sound with deep bass and rich overtones.
The front board is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. treatment. A matured sound as if it has been played for many years.
Fingerboard and bridge are ebony.
Lightweight light case included

The original Yamaha FG head shape is decorated with a tuning fork logo. The truss rod cover is engraved with “Since 1966”, which indicates the origin of Yamaha guitars.
The top is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. The top is made of solid Sitka spruce. The top is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. The rich sound of a brand new instrument, as if it has been played for many years, and the warm mid-low range of mahogany wood give it a powerful resonance. The cohesive sound is ideal for chord strokes or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.
The side and back are made of solid mahogany. The side and back are made of solid mahogany for a warm and rich midrange that is unique to mahogany.
The scalloped bracing used in the FG/FS#800 series has been improved through a combination of pseudo prototyping using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and prototyping by woodworkers. The scalloped bracing used in the FG/FS#800 series has been optimized to match the characteristics of the wood itself and the FG and FS models to achieve further expansion of the low frequency range.
Yamaha’s proprietary Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) process is applied to the surface plate. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the same changes that occur over time in lumber after it has been milled are produced in a short period of time, thereby improving sound transmission and vibration efficiency. The A.R.E. treatment produces a warm, mature sound with a good balance and fewer harsh overtones, making the guitar sound like it has been played for years.
