The Best $200 Guitar On The Planet!
I have played for 40+ years and owned many fine instruments (Martin, Taylor, etc). My first Yamaha was an FG200 that I purchased in 1973 when I was 15. The FG800 is a VAST improvement over that. IMHO it sounds like a $1000-to-$1200 guitar! At the very least, it makes a wonderful student, campfire, or informal-jam guitar. I suggest drilling out the bridge pin holes with a 13/64" drill bit so you can use standard-size bridge pins. I also suggest using Ernie Ball Aluminum/Bronze (12-54) strings. They seem to bring out the best tone to my ears. For $200, you really can't go wrong. This guitar beats out anything else in or near this price range!
