Yamaha FS800 T Concert Acoustic Limited Edition Tinted Natural Top

This review is really of Chicago Music Exchange's awesome service. This is only the 2nd review I've ever written in my life, and I didn't receive anything in exchange for this review. CME shipped the guitar same-day, and it was carefully packaged when it arrived. When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of their employees had carefully completed an inspection checklist of the guitars major components, and ensured that it was in good cosmetic and working condition before shipping it to me. The technician even hand wrote my name as the "owner" of the guitar on the inventory, which was honestly a nice personal feeling. My friend who teaches and fixes guitars tried it out, and said it looked like CME actually checked the setup prior to shipping and didn't just "check the box". Other than tuning (to be expected) nothing else needed to be tinkered with. That is genuinely great - and unexpected - service. The guitar looks and sounds beautiful, and I am very happy with the quality - an excellent value. I will definitely purchase from CME again. Thank you guys!!

Great product! I got mine on time and it’s well packaged. Guitar sounds nice and will recommend to all my friends.

Adult beginner here. My teacher loved the guitar and says the quality, sound and craftsmanship match those of guitars 2/3x the price.This is a folk style guitar so it doesn't come with strap hooks and the size is 'concert' which is smaller than a Dreadnaught - which is great for those like me with smaller hands. Great for strumming or finger picking and the sound is just luscious and resonant.Yamaha hit one of the park with this one. Also shout out to seller Chicago Music Exchange for excellent packaging and shipping it fast.

Out of the box, after resting for 24 hours in my home, I found a well built and without mistakes (excess glue, lifting bridge). It arrived without tuned tension on the strings. Action and intonation out of the box for the first tuning was great. Tone is about 3/4 of a Dreadnaut. Miced with a SM 57, then a Presonus Condenser showed excellent results through ProTools, Studio 3 and Reaper. This is a perfect guitar for recording. Easy to play, finish is beautifle with the tinted vintage style finish. I give this guitar five stars.

Been playing an electric for awhile and wanted to pickup a acoustic to mess around with but didn't want to break the bank, this is one of the best sub $300 acoustic guitars you can buy very happy with it so far.

I received the product have a good packing, great quality and good service.

The guitar is excellent... bought for a new student. Setup out of the box was good, fit and finish very good for a guitar of this price. The Yamaha box was packed in a rectangular box, well marked, and instructions to receiver to all it to normalize temperature before opening - first excellent advice I've seen on the box especially for this price of guitar. I would buy both this guitar, and from this retailer, again, and will recommend them to others.

Wow, what can I say about this amazing little guitar? Out of the box, it looked really nice, and while the action was still a little high from the factory, it played just fine. After having the action set up properly and premium strings installed, it's like having a completely different guitar that sounds a lot more expensive than what I paid for it. I think this is absolutely perfect for beginners as well as a more experienced player that wants something inexpensive that they can knock around with. As usual, Yamaha has made another quality instrument that I'm happy to own.
