Here for sale we have a Yamaha FSX5 Electro Acoustic Guitar in a Semi Gloss finish. Built in Japan in 2020, this guitar features an all solid construction comprising a Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, African Mahogany neck and 20 fret Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. A Bone saddle and nut are fitted, along with Chrome Yamaha open gear tuning machines. The pickup in this guitar is an Atmosfeel system, with an undersaddle piezo, contact sensor and microphone. These are wired to master volume, mic blend and bass EQ controls. 

The African Mahogany neck sits very comfortably in the hand, with a profile that could be described as a Soft 'V', feeling slim in the hand and offering ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the neck. The Ebony fingerboard is pleasant to the touch and adds a sense of luxury, and with its 15.75” radius provides a nicely flat and consistent playing surface making both chordal and fingerpicking styles of playing a breeze. The Concert body design fills the arms nicely, and provides a lively and responsive playing experience with a sound that can really be felt. The shoulder mounted controls offer comprehensive control within easy reach, without 

The all-solid construction of the Yamaha FSX5 Red Label and the selection of premium tone woods that are known for their rich, warm, and responsive sounds. The scalloped-bracing pattern is designed to maximise resonance and volume while still providing good structural support. This helps to balance the highs, mids, and lows of the guitar's sound, and accommodates a wide range of playing styles and techniques. The Atmosfeel pickup system built into this instrument provides a natural and balanced amplified sound, faithfully reproducing the guitar's acoustic tone. The system is sensitive and responsive, and can be easily adjusted to suit different playing styles and environments, ensuring that you are ready for wherever the gig takes you.
