Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Ruby Red FSX800C is a right-handed concert-body acoustic-electric built around a single cutaway, an under-saddle piezo pickup, and Yamaha’s System 66 preamp. For amplified work, controls for bass, middle, and treble combine with a selectable mid frequency, so adjustments stay at the guitar. An onboard tuner supports quick tuning checks. Its solid Sitka spruce top with nato back and sides is described as clear and balanced with rich overtones; the body is slimmer than the FG series and carries 20 frets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live sets or recording sessions requiring onboard EQ, piezo pickup, and an onboard tuner
- Players wanting upper-fret access from a concert-body acoustic-electric guitar
