General

The warm FSX800C SDB Sand Burst concert steel-string electro-acoustic guitar has a practical, tight-sounding body, a powerful solid top and a System66 preamp. Compared to the Dreadnought model, this guitar has a brighter, sharper sound. It has a powerful solid spruce top (an important feature in all FG/FS guitars), and the possibility to amplify the guitar by means of a built-in pickup and preamp. It also has an integrated tuner.

Fifty years of reliable guitars

Fifty years ago, Yamaha introduced their very first steel-string guitars, which were part of the brand's original FG series. Over the years, Yamaha haven't made any huge changes to these successful guitars, since they were an instant success from the start. They have however made some modern enhancements including scalloped bracing for more projection in the bass and mid tones, a more slender neck and rolled fret edges for greater playing comfort.

Bart B. 19 October 2017

Wrote the following about Yamaha FSX800C SDB Sand Burst electro-acoustic steel-string guitar

Ik was al een tijdje op zoek naar een betaalbare elektrisch-acoustische westerngitaar. Deze gitaar had een zeer voordelige prijs en de kwaliteit zag er op papier goed uit. Maar om hem dan te bestellen zonder eerst uitgeprobeerd te hebben was toch wel een beetje eng. De gitaar werd snel en erg goed verpakt bezorgd, zoals ik van Bax gewend ben, en tijdens het uitpakken voelde ik me weer kind op Sinterklaas avond. ik ben gelijk gaan spelen en ben niet meer gestopt. Wat een lekker gitaartje. Voelt erg solide aan, speelt heel erg licht en heeft een prachtige klank. Je haalt er met gemak mooie warme klanken uit tot en met lekkere felle strikes. Het ingebouwde stemapparaat is ook erg handig. Opnames met deze gitaar klinken ook prima, mooi geluid en geen gebrom. Kortom: van alle gitaren die ik heb (stuk of 7) speel ik nu alleen nog maar op deze Yamaha. Geen enkel minpunt kunnen ontdekken.

Friday 8 April 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

Of the many new products presented at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, some, like this new acoustic guitar from Yamaha, are real standouts. Yamaha themselves refer to the TransAcoustic system as revolutionary and it's not hard to see why. The Yamaha LL-TA dreadnought and the LS-TA triple oh models produce a sound that'll make you think you're playing in a room with great acoustics no matter where you are. And they do this without the need for an amplifier.
