Yamahas FG800 Folk Acoustic Guitar is a very reasonably acoustic guitar featuring one of the most popular tonewoods - solid Sitka spruce - for the top. This gives you a nice mellow tone with a slower response, and keeps the guitar nice and lightweight, a combination that is ideal for a beginner who wants to find something a little better than entry level. The nato back and sides also keeps the guitar lightweight and inexpensive while not sacrificing tone. Other features of the FG800 include a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, black and white body binding, die-cast tuners, and a tortoise pickguard.
