Yamaha FS800 SDB

That this is 'a good guitar for beginners'. And this strikes me as odd. Why? This guitar is good for everyone who likes playing on a good sounding instrument. This Yamaha delivers. It's size is smaller than say a dreadnought and the sound it generates is great. The thin solid top resonates warm sound. I play 40+ years and own several guitars. Acoustic and electric. Mij Lowden sounds great, but this one does too. For a low price you get a well made guitar that sounds beautiful, is quite loud and not big. This FS SDB800 is very comfortable to hold, looks gorgeous and is definitely more worth than the price i paid. Every guitar can be a beginners guitar, not just this one. Experienced players can enjoy it too. For sure.

Out of the box it's immediately apparent that the bar is raised in terms of inexpensive acoustic guitars. I've been playing for over 25 years and this instrument punches so far above it's weight that I still get suprised when I pick it up and play.

Out of the box the action was great, the playability is excellent. The nut width is a bit thin so if you're sensitive to that it's something to keep in mind, but the neck itself is great. The finish on the neck is also pleasant and not sticky feeling in the slightest. It sounds incredible, very well-rounded sound overall. It has none of the tinny tone that you would expect from a guitar in this price range, it's a very premium sounding guitar.

I can't recommend it enough.
