Start Your Musical Journey With Confidence – The Yamaha FGX820C Acoustic Electric Guitar
When it was introduced in 1966, the FG proved that a great acoustic guitar doesn’t have to cost a fortune. With a focus on great playability, musical tone and outstanding build quality, the original FG180 became a classic. Now, 50 years since the introduction of FG acoustics, its tone is better than ever, so no matter where you are on your musical journey, it all starts here! Derived from the FG820, which has a solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides, the FGX820C has a cutaway body and an electric system. The Yamaha undersaddle piezo pickup and System66 analog preamp ensure solid, plugged-in performance.
