Get to know them!





Get incredible tone and playability at an amazing price point with the Yamaha FS800 concert acoustic guitar. Featuring a solid spruce top with nato/okoume back and sides, this stellar instrument puts out incredible tone and impressive projection. The smaller concert size of the FS800 is ideal for beginning and emerging players but is also a popular choice for fingerpicking and recording. Its nato neck is capped with walnut and is incredibly comfortable and playable ? great for chording and lead playing. In addition, scalloped X-bracing provides further support and tonal enhancement ? a feature we at Sweetwater really appreciate.





Great feel and tone





The FS800 concert body shape is not only smaller than a traditional dreadnought but also thinner, making it ideal for young players. The crisp high end makes this stellar acoustic ideal for bluegrass, folk, country, or virtually any other style you want to explore. Over the years, fingerpickers have gravitated to the easy-on-the-fingers neck of the FS800. Recording artists also appreciate how well this acoustic translates through the mic with great midrange and high-end tone without the boomy lows that often lead to distortion.





Player Port app: the complete beginner's tool kit





With its wallet-friendly price point and extensive feature set, the FS800 is already a fantastic instrument for beginners or anyone else looking to add a top-notch acoustic to their arsenal. Yamaha is here to sweeten the pot even more, courtesy of their highly versatile Player Port app. Available for both iOS and Android devices, Player Port is a fantastic all-in-one resource for newcomers. Just download the app, register your Yamaha instrument, and gain access to tips, tricks, articles, videos, an FAQ section, and more tools catered especially to the fledgling player. Player Port even comes stock with a free built-in tuner that doesn't require an instrument registration to use, making this incredible app all the more impressive.
