Product details
Compact Concert Comfort. Natural Plugged-In Tone. Built in India.
The Yamaha FSX80C is a compact concert-size electro-acoustic guitar created for beginners and developing players who want comfortable handling, easy upper-fret access and the freedom to plug in. Its concert cutaway body feels less bulky than a full dreadnought, making it an inviting choice for younger players, smaller-framed musicians and anyone who prefers a more manageable acoustic guitar.
A spruce top provides clarity and balanced projection, while Yamaha’s SYSTEM68 electronics and A.R.T. one-way pickup reproduce natural body resonance when connected to an acoustic amplifier, mixer or PA system. Volume and tone controls plus a built-in tuner make setup straightforward for lessons, worship, rehearsals and stage performance. Handcrafted at Yamaha Music India’s Chennai factory, the FSX80C combines dependable Yamaha construction with excellent everyday value.
Key Features
Concert cutaway body for outstanding comfort
The FSX80C’s 380 mm-wide concert body is slimmer and easier to hold than a full-size dreadnought-style guitar. Its cutaway improves access to higher frets, while the 634 mm scale and 43 mm nut width retain a familiar full-scale playing feel.
Spruce top for clarity and projection
Spruce is valued for its responsiveness and musical balance. It helps the FSX80C produce clear chord definition, lively projection and a versatile voice for strumming, fingerstyle playing and accompaniment.
Yamaha A.R.T. pickup for natural amplified tone
Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Transducer technology is designed to capture more of the guitar’s body resonance and playing dynamics. The result is a warm, acoustic-sounding signal through an amplifier, mixer, audio interface or PA system.
SYSTEM68 controls and built-in tuner
The onboard SYSTEM68 provides accessible volume and tone controls, a built-in tuner and a line output. You can tune quietly and make quick adjustments without carrying a separate tuner or complicated external preamp.
Handcrafted in India to Yamaha standards
The FSX80C is manufactured at Yamaha Music India’s Chennai factory. It is built for Indian players with Yamaha’s established focus on durability, stability, consistency and dependable playability.
