Yamaha FGX800C Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance: Genuine Sitka spruce top for great tone Nato back and sides Yamaha System-66 electronics Genuine Sitka spruce top for great tone Yamaha chose a solid Sitka spruce top for their FGX800C for both its look and tone. Sitka spruce has a well-rounded, articulate sound with excellent projection. These qualities have made it the undisputed leader for acoustic guitar tops throughout the industry. And because it's a solid-wood top, the tone will age gracefully, with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by. And Yamaha improved their scalloped bracing on the FGX800C to allow for more top movement, resulting in a larger low end and more projection. Nato back and sides The FGX800C sports a body made from nato. This wood's warm tone is reminiscent of mahogany, and it really impressed strummers at Sweetwater. Its rich sound enhances the midrange frequencies while maintaining top-end clarity, making it great for strumming. The sound is gentle and full, which is ideal for vocal accompaniment. Combined with the lively and defined sound of the spruce top, you'll love the rich tone you get from the Yamaha FGX800C.
