Description

The Yamaha FGX820C in Black is a stylish electro acoustic that delivers the feel and sound of a far more expensive guitar at a price that makes sense for beginners and developing players. Based on the hugely popular FG820, this model adds a comfortable cutaway body and a powerful pickup and preamp system so you can go from sofa practice to stage or rehearsal with ease. A solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides and Yamaha’s clever scalloped bracing give the FGX820C a clear, projecting voice with plenty of warmth and body. Plugged in, the SYSTEM66+ SRT electronics provide a natural, controllable sound with simple onboard controls and a built-in tuner, making it a reliable partner for home jams, open mics and small gigs. Comfortable Cutaway Dreadnought Design The FGX820C takes Yamaha’s classic dreadnought-inspired FG body and adds a traditional Western cutaway, giving you easier access to the upper frets for solos, melodic lines and more adventurous chord shapes. The body depth and shape feel reassuring and familiar, while the cutaway keeps things comfortable whether you are sitting or standing. Solid Spruce Top with Warm Mahogany Back and Sides A solid spruce top is the heart of the FGX820C’s tone, offering bright, articulate highs and strong projection that helps your playing cut through in a mix. Mahogany back and sides balance that clarity with a richer, warmer character, ideal for strumming, fingerpicking and everything in between. As you play the guitar over time, the solid top will continue to open up and respond even more dynamically. Easy-Playing Nato Neck The matte-finished Nato neck is designed to feel smooth and fast under the hand, helping beginners build confidence and allowing more experienced players to move around the fretboard with ease. With 20 frets and clear dot inlays, navigation is straightforward, while the rounded neck profile offers a comfortable grip for long practice sessions or extended sets. SYSTEM66+ SRT Electronics with Onboard Tuner Yamaha’s SYSTEM66+ SRT preamp lets you plug straight into an acoustic amp or PA for a bigger, more powerful sound. A 3-band EQ and volume control on the upper bout make it easy to shape your tone on the fly, whether you need more low-end warmth or extra top-end sparkle. The built-in tuner means you can keep your guitar in tune at all times without needing any extra gear. Key Features Solid Spruce Top – A solid spruce soundboard delivers bright, clear tone with excellent projection, helping your chords and melodies ring out whether you are playing unplugged at home or mic’d up for recording. Mahogany Back and Sides – Mahogany adds warmth, depth and a pleasing midrange focus, giving the FGX820C a balanced voice that works just as well for gentle fingerstyle as it does for full, driving strums. SYSTEM66+ SRT Preamp with 3-Band EQ – The onboard electronics make it simple to plug into any suitable amplifier and get a great sound quickly, with bass, middle and treble controls that let you tailor your tone to different rooms, mixes and musical styles. Built-In Tuner and Die-Cast Chrome Tuners – The combination of an onboard tuner and stable die-cast machine heads helps you stay in tune more easily, reducing setup time and letting you focus on playing rather than constantly adjusting your tuning.
