YAMAHA / FGX5 GLOSS Vintage Natural [03]

An acoustic guitar featuring a gloss-finished body and the highly acclaimed Atmosfeel pickup system!

This long-awaited update to the Japanese-made model, which carries on the Yamaha FG lineage, is the result of a fusion between 1960s aesthetics and the skilled craftsmanship honed over more than 50 years. By adopting a new "Gloss Finish" for the body, this new model highlights the deep, beautiful wood grain, exuding an even greater sense of luxury and refined elegance.

The body shape features Yamaha’s signature “FG Jumbo Body Shape.” It delivers overwhelming volume and dynamic natural resonance in the mid-low range, boasting a robust, classic acoustic sound that’s ideal for powerful chord strumming and forceful flatpicking.

The wood construction is a luxurious all-solid design, featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, which produce a warm, rich midrange.The top features Yamaha’s proprietary “A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)” treatment, which produces a warm, resonant tone with minimal harsh overtones—sounding like a vintage guitar that has been played and aged for years, even though it is brand new.Furthermore, utilizing the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology, the "proprietary scalloped bracing" optimized for the FG body shape successfully expands the rich low-end response, defying the compact body size.

The headstock inherits Yamaha’s traditional V-shape and features a truss rod cover engraved with the tuning fork logo and “Since 1966” to mark the brand’s origins.Each instrument is meticulously set up by hand by skilled Japanese craftsmen, featuring a "cowbone nut and saddle"—known for its exceptional hardness and sound transmission efficiency—and luxurious ebony for the fingerboard, bridge, and bridge pins.

The electronics feature the innovative next-generation 3-way pickup system, "Atmosfeel." Three components—an under-saddle piezo that captures the mid-low frequencies, a preamp microphone that picks up the low-frequency body resonance, and a proprietary ultra-thin contact sensor that captures the delicate high-frequency ambience—reliably capture each frequency range.Simply by operating the simple controls on the side of the body (Master Volume, Mic Blend, Bass EQ), you can output the natural, unadulterated sound of an acoustic guitar directly through the line out.

This supreme electro-acoustic guitar, a masterful fusion of traditional aesthetics and cutting-edge acoustic technology achieved through Japanese craftsmanship, promises top-tier performance for both live performances and recording.
