Description

The Yamaha FSX800CSDB is a compact concert-size electro-acoustic that blends a comfortable, slim body with a solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides for a rich, detailed tone. Finished in an eye-catching Sandburst, it is ideal for players who want an easy-playing guitar that still delivers full, expressive sound both unplugged and on stage. With its smaller, thinner body and slightly shorter scale length, the FSX800CSDB is perfect for younger players, those with a lighter touch, or anyone who prefers a more intimate feel. The solid top and scalloped bracing give it impressive projection and sustain, while the rosewood back and sides add depth and shimmering overtones that really reward fingerstyle and more advanced techniques. Visually, the FSX800CSDB is a clear step up, featuring an abalone soundhole inlay, cream binding and a tortoise-pattern pickguard that complement the Sandburst finish beautifully. Practical touches like die-cast tuners and a comfortable neck profile make it a reliable everyday instrument, whether you are practising at home, writing songs or performing. Comfortable Concert Body The concert-size body is smaller and slimmer than a traditional dreadnought, making the FSX800CSDB easier to hold and play for longer sessions. It is particularly well suited to younger players, smaller-framed guitarists and fingerpickers who value comfort and control without sacrificing tonal quality. Solid Spruce Top with Scalloped Bracing A solid spruce top, supported by newly developed scalloped bracing, gives this guitar a lively, responsive voice with excellent clarity. The top vibrates more freely, resulting in improved sustain, better projection and a dynamic range that encourages expressive playing, from gentle picking to more aggressive strumming. Rosewood Back and Sides for Rich Overtones Rosewood back and sides add warmth, depth and complex overtones to the FSX800CSDB. Chords sound full and harmonically rich, while single notes have a smooth, singing quality that suits melodic playing. This tonal character makes the guitar a great choice for intermediate to advanced players looking for a more sophisticated sound. Refined Aesthetic in Sandburst The Sandburst finish, abalone soundhole inlay and cream body binding give the FSX800CSDB a premium, stage-ready look. These details not only enhance the guitar’s visual appeal but also make it feel like a genuine upgrade instrument that you will be proud to take to rehearsals, gigs or sessions. Key Features Concert-Style Body – The compact concert body with a thin depth is easier to hold and play, especially for smaller players or those who prefer a more intimate feel. It reduces fatigue during long practice sessions while still providing a balanced, articulate acoustic tone. Solid Spruce Top with Scalloped Bracing – A solid spruce top delivers bright, clear tone that improves as it ages, while scalloped bracing enhances resonance and sustain. This combination gives the FSX800CSDB a responsive, dynamic sound that works well for both strumming and fingerpicking. Rosewood Back and Sides – Rosewood adds rich overtones and enhanced sustain, giving chords more depth and complexity. Players benefit from a more luxurious, harmonically detailed sound that suits a wide range of styles, from folk and pop to more intricate fingerstyle arrangements. Premium Cosmetic Appointments – Abalone soundhole inlay, cream binding and a tortoise-pattern pickguard combine with the Sandburst finish to create a refined, upmarket look. These touches make the guitar feel special and inspiring to pick up, encouraging you to play more often.
