The Yamaha FG 800 SDB Acoustic Guitar Sandburst is a 6-string acoustic guitar, featuring a spruce top, a nato/okume back and sides, a rosewood fingerboard, and a natural finish. The FG 800 SDB is Yamaha's standard acoustic model, with simple and traditional looks and outstanding quality, at an affordable price. A solid-top guitar with authentic sound that is well balanced without sacrificing its robust strength, thanks to the newly developed scalloped bracing design. Can be confidently recommended to all beginner guitarists. A traditional western body is combined with die cast chrome tuners, a tortoise pickguard and black ABS bridge pins.
The main features of the Yamaha FG 800 SDB Acoustic Guitar Sandburst include:
Solid Sitka Spruce top
Matt, Sandburst finish, projects a more open natural tone than a Gloss finish
Nato back and sides
Rosewood fingerboard
Rosewood bridge
White/black body binding
Tortoise pickguard
L-block which creates a deeper low end and a tighter body-neck connection
Retro "red-label" sound hole labelling
Pearloid headstock logo
Die-cast tuning machine heads for tuning stability
I doubt you can find a better overall guitar at this price. Warm and very vibrant sound way beyond my expectations for the price. Feels nice to touch as well (the natural finish has a grainy feel and really helps to connect to the instrument in a tactile way). The build quality and materials are not perfect obviously, but one should not expect it after all. Its a joy to play it, especially when you lower the action a bit as its initially too high (at least for my liking).

for that price, there is nothing better you can buy. the sound is very nice and balanced, it gives you the feeling you are actually playing a real instrument. people keep saying this is an "entry level" guitar, but i believe is a good guitar also

I bought this guitar in order to practice as I am traveling a lot. Therefore I didn't want to spend too much in case of "abuse" in the planes. anyway, easy to play. I changed the strings and the guitar is great. perfect for beginners too.
