Yamaha FG-800

The Yamaha FG-800 is a dreadnought acoustic produced from 2016 to 2017, built with a solid spruce top, nato or okume back and sides, and a nato neck. Label era details remain undocumented. It is widely recommended for beginners and as a quality backup for experienced players, easy to play out of the box and comfortable across long sessions. The neck is a comfortable shape, and many owners find it indistinguishable in tone from acoustics costing three times as much.
