Key Features

Solid Spruce Top

• A solid spruce soundboard provides clear, balanced tone with strong projection and dynamic response. This top wood resonates well across styles — from strumming to fingerpicking.

Nato/Okume Back & Sides

• The back and sides are crafted from nato/okume woods (similar in character to mahogany), giving the guitar a warm midrange and well-rounded sound.

Traditional Dreadnought Body

• Classic Western dreadnought shape delivers a bold, balanced sound with dependable volume and tonal presence — ideal for players who want a versatile acoustic tone.

Matte Natural Finish

• The matte (satin) finish enhances the natural wood feel and reduces glare and fingerprints. The lighter finish allows the wood to vibrate freely for an authentic acoustic character.

Scalloped Bracing

• Newly developed scalloped bracing increases resonance and breathes life into the sound, giving extra punch and projection especially in the low-to-mid range.

Comfortable Playability

• Slim, tapered nato neck with a smooth satin feel makes fretting and chord changes comfortable — especially helpful for beginners and long practice sessions. The fingerboard is typically rosewood, offering a familiar feel and warm tonal contribution.

Reliable Hardware

• Chrome die-cast tuners ensure tuning stability, and quality bridge and nut materials help with consistent action and intonation.

Sound & Performance

The FG800M stands out for its balanced tone, combining warmth with clarity; its dreadnought body and solid spruce top produce robust low end and articulate highs, making this guitar suitable for a wide range of musical styles from folk and pop to rock and blues. The matte finish and scalloped bracing enhance natural resonance and responsiveness, making it feel lively and expressive under the fingers.
