How is the Yamaha FS800 different from the FG800?
The Yamaha FS800 uses a smaller concert-style body, while the FG800 is a larger dreadnought-style guitar. The FS shape is usually more comfortable for smaller players, couch playing, and fingerstyle.
Does the Yamaha FS800 have a solid top?
Yes, the FS800 is known for using a solid spruce top, which is a strong feature at its entry-level price point. Many cheaper beginner guitars use laminated tops, so the solid top is one reason the FS800 is often recommended.

The standard FS800 is an acoustic guitar without built-in electronics. Yamaha's FSX models are the ones to check if you need a pickup and preamp for plugging into an amp or PA.

It suits beginners, fingerstyle players, and anyone who wants a smaller body than a dreadnought. The 800 series also uses Yamaha's scalloped bracing design, which helps the compact body sound more open.
