[SN ILX245A] YAMAHA / FSX5 GLOSS (FSX5G) Vintage Natural [12]

[SN ILX245A] YAMAHA / FSX5 GLOSS (FSX5G) Vintage Natural [12]

An acoustic guitar featuring a gloss-finished body and the highly regarded Atomosfeel pickup system!

<Yamaha's Traditional V-Shaped Headstock>

It inherits the original Yamaha FG headstock shape and features a logo modeled after a tuning fork. The truss rod cover is engraved with "Since 1966," signifying the origins of Yamaha guitars.

<SOLID Sitka spruce Top>

The body top is crafted from solid Sitka spruce treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement). This delivers a rich, resonant tone that sounds as if the guitar has been played for years, even though it is brand new. The well-balanced sound is ideal for chord strumming or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.

<Solid Mahogany Sides and Back>

Solid mahogany is used for the sides and back. This delivers the warm, rich midrange characteristic of mahogany.

<Cowbone Nut and Saddle>

The nut and saddle are made of cowbone (Grade #5 only). Cowbone is extremely hard, enabling more effective sound transmission from the strings to the neck and body. Installing and adjusting a cowbone nut requires a high level of skill, and each guitar is carefully crafted one by one in Japan by skilled guitar craftsmen.

<Proprietary Scalloped Bracing>

Aiming to achieve an ideal, warm tone, we have refined this design through a combination of virtual prototyping using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and physical woodworking prototypes. Compared to the scalloped bracing used in the FG/FS#800 series, we have optimized it to match the characteristics of the wood itself and the specific models of the FG and FS series, resulting in further expansion of the low-frequency range.

<A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) Treatment>

The top panel features Yamaha’s proprietary Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, this process replicates the natural aging changes that occur in wood over a long period after milling within a short timeframe. This enhances sound transmission and vibration efficiency, promoting the extension of mid-to-low frequencies while increasing the attack of high frequencies and accelerating their decay.The A.R.E. treatment produces a well-balanced, mature, and warm sound with minimal harsh overtones, creating a tone reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for years.

<Equipped with the newly developed "Atmosfeel" pickup system>

The newly developed Atmosfeel 3-way pickup system features an under-saddle piezo sensor for the mid-low range, a microphone built into the preamp for the low range, and a proprietary ultra-thin contact sensor for the high range—three distinct pickups that reliably capture each frequency range.

<Simple and User-Friendly Controller>

The "Atmosfeel" controller allows you to blend the signals from each pickup with extremely simple controls, making it easy to shape your sound. Use the master volume knob to fine-tune subtle tonal nuances, and the mic blend knob to add body resonance. The Bass EQ controller lets you adjust the peak frequency of the EQ.
