  • Does FG830 sound better than this one?
    Electric demo sounds like crap, should've take more attention to that aspect.

  • @cugir321 …I noticed that you mentioned the Yamaha FS800. I have that same guitar. I have only been playing guitar for about three years. But even though Im a novice…this guitar sounds good when you play it. It a great guitar. I really enjoy playing it.

  • Is there a difference between the sound of fgx800c vs fg800 beside the electronics and cutaway?

  • It sounds crispy and bright but I'm finding it a bit less energetic in the low end. I played it in a shop a couple of days ago and it felt somewhat rough along the fretboard on the fret edges. Overall it's not a bad bargain at that price tag.

  • Buyer BE AWARE — it's a great deal —unless you're planning to play this only sitting down. Yhere is ONLY ONE strap button! It's on the bottom end of the body only! This guitar looks and sound nice, but I would have passed on it if I realized this. I know you can attach a strap that has a string tie above the nut, but I don't like to idea of that or the look of it!

  • You got to play a few before buying….there's a big variation in the quality of the chinese instruments…..I have 6 yamaha's….I've had to refret everyone but the FS800 because of fingerboard humps. I didnb't need another but could lay off the fS800….one of the best necks out of the box in 30 years….better then all my buddies with D45's and such. I can tune it down 1/2 a step and it plays without buzz playing normally….capos to 5th fret without buzz. amazing…sound good too but not as good as a great high end guitar. Still as good as many 2500.00 martins and taylors. For 187.00…200.00 out the door. Don't think because it says martin it's bullet proof.

  • Nice Review ! Does the thinner profile make it harder to play than a full size ?

  • The sound plugged in feels a little behind soemthing while through mic it's very right in front of me. I am not sure if I am describing it properly. I might buy one.

  • Hello! For Christmas or my birthday, not sure yet, I'm thinking of getting a steel string guitar, and this one caught my eye. Are there any reliable places where I can order online in Australia? I live in a place where there aren't any stores close to me so buying online would be more convenient than buying plane tickets.

  • Inexpensive guitar but mine sounds terrible no matter how I adjust it. Poor sustain and strings pretty much sound dead. I've tried three different sets of strings. Action was high out of the box and when I've lowered it I just get buzzing on a couple of strings and have to turn the rod back counter clockwise to eliminate the buzz and the action gets high again.

  • My friend is a pro guitarist and he plays this in clubs, studios, bars and even concerts. Amazing guitar for 500$
