          Yamaha FG800 vs Yamaha FS800 - User Opinions

            The FG800, being bigger and heavier, delivers a bit higher sustain and bass, while its smaller brother, the FS800, has a bit warmer sound. These differences in sound are almost unnoticeable while playing, and frankly, don't really matter, especially to a beginner guitarist.
