Yamaha FSX5

Yamaha electro-acoustic Concert from the Red Label series

With the all solid Japanese-made Yamaha FSX5 from the Red Label series, Yamaha combines traditional aesthetics of the 60s with modern and innovative features. Accordingly, a new scalloped bracing combined with a thermally treated Sitka spruce top on a mahogany body provides a warm, powerful tone with clear basses, nuanced and distinctive mids, and brilliant and radiant highs. In addition, the thermal Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment imparts the sound and sustain of aged wood.

The Yamaha FSX5 Concert is a great choice for players who prefer a smaller and more compact body, offering a brighter sound that complements fingerstyle playing. Furthermore, a shortened scale length of 634mm delivers comfortable playability, while the chrome-plated open vintage tuners keep the tuning clean. A wooden pickguard completes the high-quality impression throughout.

For use on stage, there is the Atmosfeel pickup, which has a piezo sensor in the bridge to detect low frequencies, while a microphone transmits the low and mid-range. A newly developed contact sensor captures the high frequencies. The result is a full, natural sound with controls that make it easy to get great plug-in sound. Last but not least, a case is already included in the delivery.
