The electro-acoustic Yamaha FGX5 Gloss is a fully solid acoustic guitar with A.R.E. treatment and comfortable playability.
Solid body with A.R.E. treatment
A solid top made of high-quality Sitka spruce delivers impressive clarity and dynamics, while the solid mahoganyback and sides lend the sound a warm character - perfectly balanced between brilliance and depth. Thanks to the exclusive A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment, the guitar also develops a sound that sounds mature and lively, just like a well-recorded vintage instrument. This technology produces a full-bodied tone and makes the sound even more open and resonant. The innovative scalloped bracing also ensures maximum sound projection and a finely tuned resonance. As a result, every sound is transmitted with astonishing precision and assertiveness - from powerful lows to brilliant highs.
Short scale length
In addition, the Yamaha FGX5 Gloss offers a playing experience that combines comfort and precision at the highest level. With its shortened scale length of 634 mm, it enables a pleasantly relaxed playing feel, which is particularly noticeable during longer sessions and complex chord sequences. The mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard impresses with its smooth feel, while the 44.5 mm wide bone nut creates the perfect conditions for precise finger placement. This is complemented by a high-quality bonebridge inlay, which guarantees excellent vibration transmission and therefore an outstanding sound. The chrome-plated open-gear tuners also ensure reliable tuning stability and precise fine tuning for the highest playing quality.
Yamaha Atmosfeel pickup
The Yamaha FGX5 Gloss not only impresses with its outstanding acoustic sound, but also with the innovative Atmosfeel pickup, which provides authentic and dynamic amplification. This system combines three sound sources: An undersaddle piezo for powerful bass, a Contact Sensor that captures the brilliant highs and percussive nuances, and an integrated microphone that reproduces mids and low frequencies with spatial warmth. Thanks to the intuitive controls integrated into the frame - volume control, mic Blend and BassEQ - the sound can be effortlessly adapted to any stage situation. Atmosfeel makes the FGX5 Gloss the perfect choice for musicians who demand both naturalness and versatility.
