Yamaha FG800J Acoustic Natural

There’s already enough to love about the Yamaha FG series. Based on the popular FG800, the FG800J offers a brand-new folk body shape and a lovely solid spruce top, yielding a more balanced and lively sonic palette that’s perfect for live and recording applications. Its back and sides are made from laminated nato and mahogany, imbuing the FG800J with a warm, full-bodied tone and striking good looks. Meanwhile, the satin-finished nato neck gives it comfortable playability. Whether for learning your first chord shapes, strumming some tunes, or a trusty couch companion, the FG800J is the ideal tool for beginners.  The entry-level Yamaha FG800 rocked the guitar-building world with its craftsmanship and smart use of tonewoods. The FG800J takes this design further, with a comfortable tapered neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Players have been fans of the Yamaha FG series for years, and for the price, consider it one of the better values on the market.  An all-new folk body shape makes the FG800J even more balanced on top of its warm mahogany palette. This gives the solid spruce top — a feature normally reserved for professional instruments — a softer foundation and expressive dynamic range for punchy chords, sweet-sounding leads, and lively riffing.  It’s not hard to see why Yamaha’s FG series is a world best seller: the comfortable bodies, professional-grade tonewoods, and fast-playing necks make these acoustics great first instruments for beginners, and solid seconds for seasoned players who need an extra acoustic for the stage or to play around the house.
