Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Sand Burst, this right-handed FSX800C puts acoustic and amplified duties in one concert-body guitar. The solid Sitka spruce top, nato back and sides are described as producing a clear, balanced voice with rich overtones. Its single cutaway reaches the higher frets, while the under-saddle piezo and System 66 preamp handle the plugged-in path. Three-band EQ, a selectable mid frequency, and an onboard tuner give you controls at the guitar. The body depth is slimmer than Yamaha’s FG series, with 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
