Frequently Asked Questions
The spruce top gives it a brighter, more immediate sound than mahogany, which tends to be warmer and more mellow. It’s a noticeable difference, but the FG800’s spruce top still offers a good level of complexity.
The 'C' shape neck profile is fairly standard and generally comfortable, but it's not exceptionally wide or thin. Players with very large hands might prefer something a bit more substantial.
The black finish is a gloss polyurethane, which looks nice but shows fingerprints easily. It's reasonably durable for everyday playing, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive polishes.
