About this product
Overview & specifications
Yamaha FGX830C Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural is the plug-in dreadnought for players who want rosewood back and sides and a full 650mm scale without stepping into four figures. A solid spruce top, a SYSTEM66 preamp with a tuner and a Natural gloss finish make it a working guitar for the duo gig or the church stage.
Solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides
The solid spruce top is braced with a scalloped X pattern so it is light where it needs to move and firm where it needs to hold. Rosewood back and sides add low-end weight and sustain to the dreadnought's natural volume. The body is gloss with cream binding, an abalone soundhole inlay ringed in black and white and a tortoise-pattern pickguard.
Dreadnought cutaway, 650mm scale
The body is 412mm wide, 505mm long and 100mm to 118mm deep, giving the low end and headroom a dreadnought is chosen for. The cutaway opens the top frets for lead lines, and the 650mm scale with a total length of 1038mm gives firm tension for strumming.
SYSTEM66 preamp with onboard tuner
SYSTEM66 provides volume, a 3-band EQ, a mid-frequency sweep and a built-in tuner, so you can shape the sound and tune between songs without touching a pedal. The line out plugs into any acoustic amp, DI or mixer.
Rosewood fingerboard, TM29T tuners
The nato neck has a matt finish and a rosewood fingerboard at a 400mm radius, with a rosewood bridge. The 43mm urea nut carries 11mm string spacing, which suits players who mix fingerstyle with a pick. TM29T die-cast chrome tuners and black ABS pins with white dots finish it, strung with Yamaha FS50BT or D'Addario XT.
Set up and ready
Action, relief and saddle seating are checked so the pickup gets an even signal from every string. Set up in-store by Guitar World Australia's techs before it ships to you.
