The principle of everything
When it was introduced in 1966, the Yamaha FG series came to show that a great acoustic guitar did not have to cost a fortune. Comfortable to play, with a sound of great musicality and an excellent quality of construction, the original FG180 very soon became a standard of reference, and many musical careers and successful albums were born from an FG guitar. 50 years after the presentation of the FG acoustics, the guitars of the new range can boast of offering the best FG sound in history while maintaining the same comfort when playing and the same exceptional quality that has made them the favorite of millions of guitarists. Wherever your musical future takes you, this is the beginning of everything.
FG800M
Matte finish version of the standard Yamaha acoustic model, the FG800. Simple and traditional aesthetics, excellent quality and affordable price. It is a guitar with a solid top and a very balanced authentic sound, all without sacrificing its robustness thanks to its innovative design of corrugated branding. Its ultra-thin satin finish gives the instrument a natural sound and a very pleasant touch.
The FG800 follows in the footsteps of Yamaha's best-selling FG700S Acoustic Guitar. Yamaha's FG series has consistently been the #1 selling acoustic guitar family of all time, and rightly so. They represent one of the best values in the music industry. Whether you're a beginning player, or just looking to add another guitar to your collection, the FG800 is a great way to get a high-quality, solid-top acoustic guitar at a very affordable price.
This instrument features outstanding sound quality, smooth playability, and the craftsmanship you expect from a genuine Yamaha instrument. The FG800 includes deluxe features such as scalloped X bracing, die-cast tuners, a solid spruce top, and rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Abalone inlays and a high-gloss finish make this guitar look as good as it sounds.
The heritage of Yamaha folk guitars begin with the FG series. Yamaha's FG series stretches back into the mid 60's on the heels of the folk guitar movement in the United States. Moving into the 1970's, many notable artists were seen playing Yamaha acoustic guitars…Jimmy Page, Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Bruce Springsteen to name a few. Yamaha's FG series is the #1 selling acoustic guitars of all time. FG guitars are known for quality, dependability, playability and value.

What amazes me is Yamaha's consistency in performance. I bought an FG800 yesterday. My son owns an FG830. And his son owns the F335 starter guitar
I gifted him to learn to play. He reads music, is in his high school orchestra, playing the Bassoon. "Beginners Guitar the FG800" poppycock I say. Even without
my setting it up sounded better than siome of the HeavyHitters I've owned over the 70 years I've been playing.
I've been playing since '72 (hey, never said I was all that good, but had a coffee-house following, back in the day.) After a long hiatus, I decided to go looking for another acoustic; hadn't had anything I'd fallen in love with, in a long time, though guitars had come and gone. This mid-size Dreadnaught, with its "much bigger" sound, I fell in love with. Got the "vintage" finish, which really does look like an older guitar; beautiful wood in either finish, though. I'd honestly compare it favorably to the Martin D28. Even though Yamaha calls it an "entry level" guitar, even folks with much more time in the saddle will love this one.
I just went in a shop to buy the FG850, tried the FG800M, god damn it, so impressed. I bought it straight away and much cheaper !
Omgg when you started playing let her go i was shocked. I can play the exact same thing too and it was my first fingerstyle song tht i learnt. Anyway thanks for the review!! Hoping to get this guitar soon
I had to come and check out to see if Yamaha FGs were still good. For many years I have been recommending them to players that are looking to step up in tone. I'm glad to see they still sound great. They aren't going to win 1st place in a beauty contest, but they have what really matters, excellent tone, very playable, well constructed guitars. You can't find a better guitar for the price, they sound better than most guitars at two or three times the price.
Good luck and have many enjoyable years with your new guitar.
Frank Kolton great instruments... Thank you!
I have one of these in sunburst.
Great value. They can't be beaten.
I wish they made affordable guitars of this quality way back when I first started playing.
This a great review. Love how you included both fingerpicking and strumming in the tests.
Thank you so much!
these are a beautiful series of guitar, i have the fg820 and absolutely love it. i might treat myself to the 800 as well it sounds brilliant.
6:07 Blackbird, nicely played
Thank you!
i keep coming back to you , just love your accoustic sesssions so beautiful . Looking forward to buying FG800M at the end of the month . you have made me a happy girl again .
Thank you so much Sam! I hope you enjoy that FG800M soon
music intro make me feel warm
Great playing sounds lovely...
I was thinking about getting a different guitar but now I’m getting this one for sure
Great guitar for the price.
I recently bought myself a guitar like this! It's just a bomb!
Man...you play well sir! Clean, crisp, I’m buying a FG 800 now! Well done! The Black Bird was a nice touch, your song choice really brought out the best of that guitar! Thank you! 👍🏻🇨🇦
Thank you so much Fred Edish! I appreciate it. It's definitely a great guitar for that price!
I've had mine a few years and it's got a bit sunburnt so the front is a bit orange and it looks awesome
Yamaha makes good guitar. I have a 3 yrs old FG730 and I love it.
Let her Go 🤩
Wow , Very beautiful sound im looking for my 2nd guitar to buy. This one looks and sounds stunning compared to others I have seen and heard .
Played beautifully....Wonderful....I'll be ordering one this week...Thank you....
Mark Stacey Thank you and enjoy it
amazing guitar, super sound, especially for the price you can't really get a better guitar than this one
Just bought the same guitar . Great tone and value ,
J'ai plusieurs guitares dont une j45 Gibson standard, Epiphone aj45 me, et cette Yamaha fg800m, et je vous garantie qu'elle est exceptionnelle pour le prix, je l'adore ! Comme quoi, toute massive n'est pas une obligation...
Merci pour le commentaire
I have this now! Bought for 250! I'm impressed!
I have exactly the same model.... wonderful to how my guitar should sound.. you are very talented..
Thank you so much G Wilson
A very good get for you. I'm jealous in a good way, you get the most out of your instruments.
Thank you so much Mr. mips!
i have on 2 occassions played upside down( im lefty ) 20+ acoustics at 2 different music stores - both cases - i preferred yamaha over epiphone , martin , taylor
and seagull.
Only the takamine and guild did i like as much or more than the “ cheap” yamaha
I was going to get a really cheap guitar to learn on but after watching this im going to wait a little longer and get this guitar, i think it looks and sounds great 👍🏆.
It is the best 160$CAD i spend! Love mine. Feel and sound much expensive
That's right!
i havent heard let her go in so long it shocked me for a moment
what an amazing print is on your hoodie, man!
Yup, Yamaha's most recent FG line (the 800 series) is truly the best bang for your buck out there as far as the budget-level acoustic guitar market goes. Already pre-ordered my left-handed FG-820 variant off Sweetwater about two weeks ago and should be in my beginner hands sometime come early/mid-June. I was actually torn between that one and the equally-competent Alvarez AD-60L in terms of my preferred price range, but Yamaha's a bit more widely available where I am by comparison and they have a better support network to boot as well. By the way, that FG-800M sounds beautiful in your hands! "Cheap" guitar MY ASS (lol), put a blindfold on and you'd think it was in the $1,000-price range...except it's not.
>;-)
hay same here! I am about to preorder a left-handed FG 820 but mine will arrive 3 months from now. its a struggle getting an acoustic guitar for a left-handed person especially if you live in places where people rarely even get acoustic guitars. good luck with yours!
@@gailan8393 Yup, and it's even worse if you happen to play bass (my primary instrument). It's like the big name brands out there would rather have nothing to do with the southpaw consumer base instead of actually making a concerted effort to keep 'em in the damn loop! Oh well, one can always flip a guitar around and make do in the meantime:::sigh:::by the way, congrats on going for the FG-820L. You're not really gonna find many decent left-handed acoustic guitars under $500 that can potentially top this one. Seagull S6 JUST might, but it's right up against the cut-off mark price-wise. Alvarez AD-60L was actually my initial choice (nut/saddle combo made of real bone yet priced roughly the same as the FG-820L), but like I said before the Alvarez brand is not as widely available in my area compared to Yamaha so I ended up passing on it in favor of the latter. Be sure to get a hardshell case for yours (preferably the one Yamaha has that's custom-fitted for the FG-800 series) before it finally arrives! Only the high-end "Red Label" FG models automatically come with either a case or gig bag depending on which country they were made in.
;-)
I just bought the FG830, awesome guitars.
Tengo la misma guitarra la compre aquí en Montreal Canadá es increíble estoy enamorado de ella cualquier cosa que toque suena increíble
i love my FG800, i wont ever sell it, its a life long companion, oh, and i know the FG830 they say is better but i dont beleive that. if every higher number gets you a better guitar we will never stop buying them, hey to you all fg830 lovers, they have an FG840 that im sure beats the fg830 jaja nuts
Thanks for comment.
You've got great finger technique.
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel!
Thats what she said.....😜
@@SuperCyril2 lmao u dirty bastard
great play & recording, thank you!
Chris Güttler Thank you! Welcome to the channel
Simply beautiful 🤩
Dude phenomenal playing and great review!
Thank you. Welcome to the channel
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio you're welcome! Do you have anymore videos on this specific guitar? Or a follow-up review?
theRonin327 yes. I turn it into a nashville tuning guitar. You can see it on my last vídeo.
theRonin327 Also in a comparative with a taylor
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio nice I'll look for it
Very nice!
Thank you!
And those silos and concrete tunnels and the acoustics of the Taj Mahal
Great melodies!
Just picked one up and noticed how light it was. Good volume and bass.
Can you do a tutorial please? Let her go sounded fantastic!
My dream guitar. I wish i have one😔
They aren't that expensive. They are only about $200. Frankly, it is a steal for that price.
I think it' important to point out that all guitars don't necessarily play well straight out of the box. Yamaha guitars are notorious for having high actions which can be a killer for new players.
Not every dealer sets up their guitars so it might be worth budgeting £30-£40 for a luthier if you don't know how to set yours up.
Thanks for comment.
Thank you
whats the difference between fg800 and fg800m im a bit confused
Finish
Matte finish great
👍🏻
I keep coming back to your video for your beautiful fingerstyle play. Is there anywhere I can learn that Let Her Go?
Thank you! well if you can't learn it by watching my hands, surely there is a tutorial on youtube right?
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio Ok I'll find it. Also ordered FG800M few days ago. Thanks a lot!
Hi that song that you played what is that song I love that song but always forget the name of it and really would like to play it on my fg800m acoustic guitar pls help me
Dan Fordham let her go by Passenger
what is the difference between the FG 800 and the FG 800M I'm so confused
Finish
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio better quality?
@@Dan-vh9sc I have not tested the model without the M (with glossy finish) but the only difference between the two should be that and nothing else ...
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio thanks for the info hopefully helps others😉
I hear a noise when he slides his fingers, is that okay?
That has more to do with technique and string types (IE: Martin Silk & steel are known to prevent string noise). But, some string noise is to be expected on acoustic guitars.
yeah , thats normal on acoustics and its part of playing , imo it sounds beautiful , and you can hear it in alot of songs where acoustic guitars are playing.
@@milanminic8545 I used to hear but I thought this is like recording issue, like what we used in record cassette tapes long time ago.
Thanks for comment.
Hi! Is there are difference in the sound between glossy and matte versions of this model? I've heard different thing: that glossy ones mutes the sound, that you shoud always get matte ones because their finish is thinner which is better for the sound, and then, I've heard that it's not true. I also heard that matte finished guitars sound more warm and mellower, and glossy ones sound clearer and brighter...How is it really?
Hi! Check both if you can and trust in your ear. Dont worry so much about that
I've owned many many guitars, and I think the finish has much less to do with tone than wood types, bracing patterns, strings, etc... Finish is probably on the bottom of my list in regards to tone.
If you're new to guitar (no offense if you're not) focus on finding something that feels good in your hands and sounds good to your ear. Nothing else matters regardless what the guitar 'experts tell you'.
Well , matte finish allows the top to vibrate more thus produce better sound. But the difference is very small. I prefer matte because glossy finish looks cheap on these cheap guitar.
the better the player, the more they make a cheaper guitar sound good. unfortunately the reverse is also true ;)
Thanks for comment.
Nice tone)
Дмитрий Рублёв Thanks
Это очень хароше гитар
У меня есть этот гитар уамана
Im getting this tmmr yashh
Thanks for comment.
Can some one tell me the difference between fg800 and fg800m? Like the sound difference. Thanks for the helpful video
TwinsPlayz just finish
Alberto Martinez Del Rio ok thank you.
is it good to play rock ? and does it go out of tune ??
Yamaha gigmaker800m Has FG800m matte finish guitar right which is same as the one u r playing right
Great playing! Now I have a problem - I don't know if this would be a better choice for a first guitar than Ibanez aw54opn. Which one would you recommend?
zelkos365 Thank you! Sorry but i cant say nothing about the ibanez. Try both if you can.
They're hardly avaliable now but I'll intend to try both, thanks!
AW54 has a solid mahogany top so it's gonna give you a different tone than your typical spruce. Like Alberto said: TRY 'EM BOTH and see which one speaks to you the most:::wink:::wink:::
;-)
What's with all the wear? Is this a used guitar? If it's new send it back.
The first song
感谢分享，很好的琴!the song name is?
What's about ibanez aw54opn guitar?
Same build as the Yamaha FG-850, save for the much more affordable price tag on the AW54. That's pretty much it.
It may be the new strings but it sounds tinny.
Thanks for comment.
Great video! At this moment I'm playing classical guitar, but I want to switch to acoustic one, however I'm worried that I will disturb other people with my guitar practice. I find classical guitar pretty quiet and I'm not sure how much louder acoustic guitar is compared to classical. I heard about feedback busters, but I don't know if they would solve my issue. Are there any other methods to make acoustic guitar quieter? To what degree do you think that feedback buster would solve my issue? Also, would you please tell me, how much louder acoustic guitar, like Yamaha FG800 is compared to classical? Thank you in advance for your answer!
Mateusz Miśkiewicz Thank you! I have never tried a "feedback buster" but as far as I know they are used to reduce feedback when you play the electro-acoustic guitar live and not so much to make it sound lower volume. That being said, the acoustic guitar has metal strings and the body is larger,
so it projects more energy that translates into volume ... Either way, the volume will depend on your playing technique. It is not the same to use a fingerpicking style or to strum chords strongly with a heavy pick or delicately with a very thin pick ... I would say that the volume is about 20% 30% louder but it will depend once again on the guitar and your technique. I hope I could help you!
Wow amazing stuff! I have a question, what capo did you use for this video?

Hi, any pro/cons versus the non-matte standard version ? thanks !
I've only tried this model. Welcome to the channel!
idk how to tune it (im new)
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
Hi! I am looking at this as a beginner guitar. Wondering how easy it can be played, how easy to press the strings of the guitar compared to say Taylor Academy 10? Can this guitar be fitted with light gauge strings?
Singapore Happenings of course you can fit with light tension strings. It’s a very nice instrument for the price. Try it before if you can have the chance. I dont hace tried that taylor academy series. Maybe someone else can help. Thanks for comment!
What mics/equipment did you use? Gorgeous.
AT2031 Mic/Apollo Twin
What’s the song that you played at the very end called?
Blackbird!
which microphone do you use in this video, and what microphone you suggest to record the acoustic guitar?

What song did you play?
At first "Let Her Go"
Hola. Do u need to Set up this guitar or not really????? Cause our is a f 325. (20 some yrs old ) which sounds great but the action hurts after 20 min ,,,,,so I tune to D or Re instead of E o Mi. You got my concern,,,,pls give me your thought bout this....tnks
Rene Cuevas Hi! I dont need to set up but it hurts too if im playing for so long... the guitar sounds great and for the price its a great instrument but it is not a high level guitar. Thanks for comment and welcome to the channel!
Is there a big difference between this guitar and FG800? Great review !
Ema Soldo Thank you! Just the finish, as far as i know...
Did you test FG830 too? Are there any diffrences?
Thanks for your video
Thank you! I'm sorry but I have not tried it ...
What is de difference between yamaha fg800 m and yamaha fg800 nt
Thomas Lootens the gloss on the finish
I dont understand
And wich one do you have?
@@Illusionized5 The M has almost no lacquer on the outside.
NatureAndTech thx
I'm thinking about buying this one but was just wondering. I've always played a 3/4 so I'm just worried that I won't be able to play chords as easily. Do you think that'll be a problem or is it something that I'll get better at with some time?
Linn Palmgren No problem i think. Just a little bit of practice and adaptation
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio okay thank you!
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio and by the way. What's the difference between this and the FG800?
Linn Palmgren just the finish
Whats the last song called i want to learn it it sounds nice
Armando Mendoza black bird
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio thank you
Armando Mendoza you are welcome
Takamine GD20NS or this one ? Heeelp
let your ears choose
Can I please have the chords for this song?
How does this model compared to f310P?
Maybe someone with the f310p can help.
i have the f310 and the fg800, the fg800 has a solid top and brazing the f310 is just plywood
Sorry did not ask this earlier but do you think this is a good entry level guitar/beginner guitar
Of course it is.
Is yamaha f600 good to?
I am not familiar with that model. Maybe someone else can help with your question.
Sounds great. What mics?

@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio beautiful
What's the name of the last song you played on fingerstyle please ? 😁
Blackbird
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio thank you so much for the reply ! Insane guitar skills you got there man 🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️
Thank you so much!
Was that the only box it came delivered to you in? I’m expecting mine Saturday
Gary Bond yes! Enjoy it and welcome to the channel
Can you remind me what the first song is? I can't believe I'm drawing a blank!! The lyrics are on the tip of my tongue!
Passenger - Let her go. For those wondering!
Did you learn tab or music sheet ?
I also dont know if i should use a pick or fingerstyle
Can you connect a yamaha fg800m to a amplifier
Thomas Lootens No
Alberto Martinez Del Rio ok . How long have you been playing already ?
Alberto Martinez Del Rio is it great for pop music?
Im gonne buy they yamaha fg800m cuz its 220 euros. And the yamaha apx is 280 euros . And i dont really see the point of getting the yamaha apx 600 if i dont play on a stage. Cuz im only going to play at home
Thomas Lootens sure... its a great instrument for that price. Welcome to the channel!
what strings do you have on please .
Stock strings... I really dont know the gauge.
Hi i gotta ask, if is it normal to have a slight belly bulge on top near the bridge?
Bonjovi Bulauitan yes, if it is slight
@@AlbertoMartinezDelRio i see. Thanks. They said it's normal for a solid top guitar.
Which one do u prefer..fender cd60s or yahama fg800? Plz give your valuable rply..
I've never tried that Fender... I don't like to talk about what I don't know. In these cases I always say that it is best that you try both models for yourself and trust yourself. Thank you anyway...
Hello i want to buy a guitar but i dont know wich one to choose or accoustic yamaha FG 800 or accoustic electric yamaha apx 600. I would be glad if you responded 👍
Thomas Lootens It depends on you. Do you need the guitar to have a preamp because you are going to use it to play live? Are you going to use it only to play at home? Both guitars are very good. Ask yourself what your needs are and how you will respond to yourself. Greetings and welcome to the channel!
Thanks for responding😁
Im going to pick the accoustic eletric yamaha apx600 . Cuz i like both the accoustic and the electric sound. Have a nice day 👍😁
Im going to use it at home
In 2 weeks then is my birthday .So when i have enouf money im gonne buy one
What is the name of the song you played at 2:23?
Let her go - passenger
Thanks for comment.
