A truly great acoustic dreadnought for an unbelievably low price
Style: Acoustic - Previous Gen.
Size: Dreadnought
I have been playing guitar, mostly acoustic, for 35 years. I have played about every kind of acoustic that one could imagine, from cheap beaters to vintage Martins and Gibsons. My teenage son has taken an interest in developing his guitar skills, so I did a bunch of research on beginner's acoustics, and the FG800 kept getting rave reviews almost everywhere I looked. So I pulled the trigger and ordered him one. We could not be more happy with the guitar. It has a solid spruce top with scalloped bracing, laminated sides and back, and a Rosewood fingerboard, with a gloss finish. It is extremely well-crafted from all aspects, very playable out of the box, and it sounds and feels wonderful. If you are looking for something really decent for a beginner or if you want a sweet second guitar you can take camping or to festivals or wherever, I do not know of any other budget-priced acoustic which comes close to the FG800. It is equally impressive flatpicking, fingerpicking, and strumming, stays in tune well, has a killer tone and voice, and looks. I will likely buy one for myself relatively soon. A great, great value!

Great for new players
Style: Acoustic - Previous Gen.
Size: Dreadnought
I got this guitar just a couple months ago, not knowing much about guitars and not really knowing much about quality or anything I did a lot of research about what would be the best purchase for the right price for a beginner guitarist.. and I stumbled upon the Yamaha FG700, Fantastic reviews and ratings for beginners with great overall quality and overall sound, especially for the cost. I did a bit more research, comparing instruments and what not just to be sure I didn't purchase something that was made out of cardboard and shoe strings when I stumbled upon the Yamaha FG800, which was said to be the upgrade of the 700. I did some reading and though it didn't have as many reviews it was said to have improved sound and durability for the exact same price. Knowing that Yamaha has pretty much always been rather good quality I trusted my instinct and bought this guitar.. It sounds spectacular, easy to play and learn on.. Been playing for a month and already have two songs memorized of my own choice and taste. I don't know much about guitars but I will tell anyone who cares and is reading this review that it was a good buy and a good experience, no complaints, it sounds beautiful and looks just as beautiful in my eyes. 5 stars and have recommended it to others vocally as well.

Great Guitar but needs setup out of the box
Style: Acoustic - Previous Gen.
Size: Dreadnought
First of all I would like to point out that this is an excellent guitar. The build quality is great and the craftsmanship is on point for a $200 guitar. However one thing that I would like to point out is that it does not come with a great setup, so not something you can play well out of the box. I tried playing it since I wasn't too confident to do the setup on my own but my fingers just end up hurting. The action was very high (much higher than the recommended action so not even a matter of preference at that point). I lowered the action, fixed the upbow on the neck and put on a new pair of D'Addario strings all of which took me about an hour. It was my first time doing all of that so took me a while but if you know what you are doing, you should be done in about half an hour. But once all of it was done the guitar sounded amazing throughout the neck. So no matter if you are playing chords in the lower registers or playing notes towards the middle of the neck it sounds amazing. It's a great guitar and sounds amazing but needs to be setup before it can do that. I don't really hold it against it for the price so still rating it 5 stars as this is an amazing equipment for the price and it forced me to learn a bit of guitar setup so it's all good. For people considering this ,know that you would be getting an amazing guitar but you would need to get it setup either by yourself or take it to a shop.

An excellent starter guitar
Style: Acoustic - Previous Gen.
Size: Dreadnought
I started playing guitar in 1958. As a high school student I only had $13, so I bought a Japanese guitar. In a year it began to fold up into a circle! Those were the days when, "made in Japan" was a bad thing. What I learned from that experience was that, when it comes to musical instruments you don't want to buy the cheapest thing available; it needs to be of substantial quality or it will discourage you. I ended up with a nice couple of Martin guitars along the way, but was dismayed by putting n nicks and scratches in them during performances or camping trips. I ended up looking for a beater and found a Yamaha similar to this one. With decent strings medium or light gauge, this guitar can hold its head up in any group. I bought this for my 12-year-old grandson who was showing proficiency on the ukulele. This was a big step for him, since it has a dreadnought-size body. He has accommodated admirably. He was immediately able to play chords and fret them well enough to eliminate buzzing. It came in good adjustment and in good shape. This is the kind of guitar I should have started out on: it is capable of playing in a professional setting, but it comes at the lowest price you can pay for a good quality, easy to play beginners instrument. I'm now on my fourth Martin, and would happily pick this up to play if one of my Martin's wasn't within reach.

Sharp edges on frets
Style: Acoustic - Previous Gen.
Size: Dreadnought
FG800 - It's a decent buy for the price. The strings are hanging up on the sharp fret edges occasionally. Action was so high it was unplayable for me, especially on the upper frets. cost $80 to lower the action/shave the saddle. There's a few sloppy finish areas on the fretboard and where the neck meets the body. The dot markers on top the fretboard are barely visible but the side markers are good and visible. I'm playing jazz chords, strumming with my thumb, and the low and mids can be boomy, while the highs sound choked off to me. Overall, to me it's a plain and thin sound. If you play with a pick, your experience will probably be different, but that's not how I play. I'm listening for subtleties in each note of the chords and not finding any kind of a pretty tone. It's a good bang around guitar that I take to my friend's house for lessons. For the great price there's not much to complain about. It suits it's purpose. I just ordered an AC5R. I hope the sound of that one inspires me a little more. I did replace the stock strings with Elixr PB 80/20s, ad maybe that dulled the tone. I do't know. I'm trying to get a nice tone for outlining barre chords and jazz chords in forms 1 and 5 with my thumb. Maybe the electronics in the AC5M are the answer.

Great guitar for the price
Style: Acoustic - Previous Gen.
Size: Dreadnought
Bought this guitar to keep at a second property, so didn't want to spend a lot of money. You can see where the money was saved in construction and components. The neck isn't a scarf joint, but a straight joint and the tuners are cheap and inconsistent with how they turn, lots of rough spots. That all said, for just a little over $200 you have to expect costs to be saved in these places. Overall the build quality is solid, no real issues, nice clean joints and clean finishing. Great overall value. Most importantly, the guitar sounds very good and plays easily. One thing to note, is that the guitar needed to be set up when it was delivered. The action was very high and the neck had a significant bow in it. Again, you have to expect these type of things with the price, but if you're a beginner, you might not know that this is something you have to address. The good side of this is that a hex wrench was included with the guitar and adjusting the neck and lowering the action was very easy and has held since adjusted. All things said, it plays a sounds well at a great price. Highly recommend this if you're looking for something to get started with guitar or just want to have a value priced guitar laying around. Just know that you may need to take it to someone to have it set up if you aren't comfortable making adjustments yourself.

Excellent budget/beginner guitar.
Style: Acoustic - Previous Gen.
Size: Dreadnought
This is the ULTIMATE beginner guitar. I have a much nicer, and much more expensive, Martin that I absolutely adore. But, I’ve been looking for a cheap guitar to beat on and not worry about leaving around my 2 year old. I did a good bit of researching, watching videos and reading before purchasing anything. I found this FG800 was recommended on literally 99% of all lists for top guitars under $200. I made sure to read multiple message boards and instead of possible sponsored websites seeing as how I was buying site unseen and unheard. Now understand this is not some $2000 Taylor/Martin, nor is it even close. What it is, though, is a great guitar for its price range. The action could be lowered just a little to ease playability, but sound is great for a laminate back and sides. Very full and loud. As long as you understand what you’re buying, I think you’ll be very happy with this guitar. It sounds as good as some that cost hundreds more. Looks decent as well.

A lot of guitar for the money
Style: Acoustic - Previous Gen.
Size: Dreadnought
I bought this as a first guitar for my daughter and as a Christmas present. I wanted to make sure that if she wanted to learn to play it would be on an instrument that was playable and it absolutely had to have a solid top. I was really surprised, first off, to find solid wood in this price range. So I ordered the guitar yesterday morning and amazingly here it is today already. I couldn't resist having a quick look before she gets home. First impression is very, very good. I played all up and down the neck and there is no fret buzz. The action is very good for an acoustic and the neck is very comfortable. Fretwork is great, perfectly smooth on the edges and totally uniform. Sound wise, while I wish I had more time to judge it, I would say that it's loud clear and balanced. Perfect score on every count for what I wanted. I'm actually jealous, I want this guitar myself ;)
