Yamaha FS80C Concert Cutaway Acoustic Guitar
The Yamaha FS80C is an acoustic guitar with a concert-size cutaway body, made exclusively for India at the Yamaha Music India factory in Chennai. It has a spruce top, tonewood back and sides, a rosewood fingerboard and covered chrome tuners, and it is purely acoustic.
Yamaha built it as an affordable model with comfortable playability for beginners. The compact concert shape and cutaway make it a good fit for younger learners, players with a smaller frame and anyone who finds a full-size dreadnought bulky.
Key Features
Yamaha FS80C concert cutaway body
The FS80C uses a concert body with a cutaway, measuring 1021 mm overall. A concert body is easier to hold than a full-size dreadnought, and the cutaway gives clearer access to the higher frets as your playing develops.
Made in India, exclusively for India
The FS80C is an India-only Yamaha model produced at the Yamaha Music India factory in Chennai. It brings a Yamaha cutaway acoustic within reach of Indian learners.
Spruce top and tonewood back and sides
A spruce top sits on tonewood back and sides. The result is a clear, balanced sound for chord practice, strumming and lighter fingerstyle playing.
Comfortable playability for beginners
Yamaha specifically designed the FS80C's concert cutaway for comfortable playing by beginners. A rosewood fingerboard and matt neck finish help the fretting hand move smoothly between chords.
Durable Yamaha construction
Yamaha says the FS80C's durability and stability are proven by its quality standards. That matters for a first guitar that will be played daily and carried to lessons.
Yamaha FS80C finishes
The body has a gloss top with matte back and sides. Yamaha India shows the FS80C in Natural, Wood Brown, Black and Tobacco Brown Sunburst.
Covered chrome tuners
Covered chrome tuners provide simple, reliable tuning. They suit students who tune at the start of each session and want hardware that keeps working with minimal care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Yamaha FS80C and the F280?
Both are India-exclusive, made-in-Chennai acoustics with a spruce top, tonewood back and sides and rosewood fingerboard. The FS80C has a smaller concert cutaway body (1021 mm overall), while the F280 has a full-size Traditional Western body (1029 mm overall).
How does the FS80C compare with the FSX80C?
The FSX80C is the electro-acoustic counterpart in Yamaha's Made in India range, with a concert cutaway body and an A.R.T. pickup for plugging in. The FS80C is purely acoustic.
How does the FS80C compare with the Yamaha FS400C?
Both are concert cutaway acoustics of the same 1021 mm overall length with spruce tops. The FS400C has a full matt finish and no binding or pickguard for a modern look, whereas the FS80C is the India-made model with a gloss top and matte back and sides.
Does the FS80C have a solid spruce top?
Yamaha's official specifications list the top simply as spruce and do not describe it as solid wood, so we do not advertise the FS80C as a solid-top guitar.
Who should choose the FS80C?
It suits beginners who want a compact body and a cutaway, including younger players and those with a smaller frame, as well as anyone who finds a dreadnought uncomfortable.
