Product Description
The Yamaha FSX800C Mk II in Ruby Red is a compact electro acoustic that blends easy playability with a clear, modern voice and reliable stage ready electronics. Its concert sized cutaway body is comfortable whether you are practising at home, writing songs on the sofa or stepping onto a small stage, while the solid spruce top and upgraded bracing give you impressive projection and dynamic response for such a portable guitar.
With Yamaha System66 electronics and an SRT piezo pickup on board, the FSX800C Mk II is ready to plug straight into an amp or PA, giving you a natural, controllable sound with a built in tuner to keep you perfectly in pitch. Finished in a striking Ruby Red with traditional black binding and tortoise pattern pickguard, it delivers classic acoustic looks with a modern twist at a very accessible price point.
The solid spruce top is the heart of the FSX800C Mk II, offering a bright, articulate tone that opens up the more you play. Nato and okume back and sides add warmth and balance, while Yamaha’s scalloped X bracing helps the whole body resonate more freely, so chords feel full and fingerpicked parts stay clear and defined. The slim nato neck and rosewood fingerboard make it easy for beginners and experienced players alike to move around the 20 frets with confidence.
On stage or in the studio, the System66 analogue preamp gives you simple, effective control over your sound, with a 3 band EQ and sweepable mid frequency to help you sit perfectly in the mix. A gloss body finish and satin feel neck strike a nice balance between visual appeal and playing comfort, making the FSX800C Mk II a dependable everyday acoustic that punches well above its weight.
Comfortable Concert Cutaway Design
The concert sized body with a Venetian style cutaway keeps the FSX800C Mk II compact and comfortable, especially for smaller players or those who prefer a closer feel against the body. The cutaway gives you easy access to the upper frets, making it ideal for melodic playing, solos and more adventurous chord voicings higher up the neck.
Solid Spruce Top with Scalloped Bracing
A solid spruce top paired with newly developed scalloped X bracing delivers a lively, responsive acoustic tone with excellent projection and clarity. The solid construction means the top will continue to develop and improve over time, rewarding regular playing with greater richness, sustain and nuance.
Yamaha System66 Electronics with SRT Piezo
The built in Yamaha System66 preamp and SRT piezo pickup provide a clear, natural amplified sound that is easy to dial in for live performance or recording. With volume, 3 band EQ, adjustable mid frequency and a built in chromatic tuner, you can quickly shape your tone and stay in tune without needing extra pedals or external tuners.
Player Friendly Neck and Traditional Styling
The nato neck with a 43 mm nut width and 15.75 inch fingerboard radius offers a familiar, comfortable feel for both chord work and single note lines. A gloss body, matt neck finish, black binding and tortoise pattern pickguard give the FSX800C Mk II a timeless acoustic look that will feel at home in any musical setting.
