I’m the second owner of this guitar, and the first owner lives in my neighborhood. Very well loved and care for, near mint condition. Set up perfectly. I own the FGX5 dreadnaught and LOVE them both, but circumstances are forcing me to choose between the two. The dread is just my first love. This is a stunning, ultra high quality, great playing instrument, the kind of guitar you bond with and that you can hardly walk by without picking it up and playing it.

Yamaha FSX5 Red Label Concert body, balances warmth and clarity, comfort and output.

Sitka spruce on warm, rich mahogany — with a top that has been visually and tonally optimized using Yamaha's A.R.E aging process and Modified Scalloped bracing, Atmosfeel electronic (stellar plugged-in sound), A V headstock, tone-enhancing bone nut and saddle.
Featuring Yamaha's A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)gives your guitar a broken-in and aged tone, solid Sitka Spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides = exceptional bass punch.

The FSX5 Red Label is equipped with Yamaha’s Atmosfeel pickup and preamp system. This innovative system lends a natural, three-dimensional sound to your guitar via a 3-way sensor setup. A piezo under-saddle sensor picks up sound where the strings meet the bridge, while an internal microphone captures the guitar’s internal resonance and a sheet sensor picks up vibrations from its soundboard. A Mic Blend knob enables you to blend the mic signal with the piezo. A Bass EQ knob controls a peaking EQ — the center frequency raises when boosting and lowers when attenuating. You also get a Master Volume control.
