YAMAHA / FGX3 Vintage Natural [11]

Equipped with a newly developed pickup system!

Combining the aesthetics of the 1960's with the skillful techniques that have been honed over the past 50 years.
Newly developed "Atmosfeel" pickup system
The natural sound and atmosphere of an acoustic guitar can be heard in the line out.
The original Yamaha jumbo body shape delivers rich volume and raw mid-low range sound. Ideal for chord strokes and flatpicking.
The newly developed scalloped bracing produces a warm and powerful sound with deep bass and rich overtones.
The front board is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E.. A matured sound as if it has been played for many years.
Ebony fingerboard and lower bridge are made of ebony.
Lightweight light case included.

<Yamaha's traditional V-shaped head>.
The original Yamaha FG head shape is decorated with a tuning fork logo. The truss rod cover is engraved with "Since 1966", which indicates the origin of Yamaha guitars.

<Solid Sitka spruce is used for the front board.
The top board is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. The top board is made of solid Sitka spruce. The top is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. The rich sound of a brand new instrument, as if it has been played for many years, and the warm mid-low range of mahogany wood give it a powerful resonance. The cohesive sound is ideal for chord strokes or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.

<Solid mahogany is used for the side backboard.
The side and back are made of solid mahogany. The side and back are made of solid mahogany for a warm and rich midrange that is unique to mahogany.

<Newly developed scalloped bracing
The scalloped bracing used in the FG/FS#800 series has been improved through a combination of pseudo prototyping using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and prototyping by woodworkers. The scalloped bracing used in the FG/FS#800 series has been optimized to match the characteristics of the wood itself and the FG and FS models to achieve further expansion of the low frequency range.

<A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) processing
Yamaha's proprietary Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) process is applied to the surface plate. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the same changes that occur over time in lumber after it has been milled are produced in a short period of time, thereby improving sound transmission and vibration efficiency. A.R.E. processing produces a warm, matured sound with good balance and few annoying overtones, making it sound like a guitar that has been played for many years.

＜The newly developed "Atmosfeel" pickup system is installed.
The newly developed Atmosfeel 3-way pickup system consists of three different pickups that reliably capture each frequency range: a piezo sensor in the undersaddle for the mid and low frequencies, a microphone in the preamp for the low frequencies, and a proprietary, extremely thin contact sensor for the high frequencies. By adding a contact sensor made of thin and durable piezoelectric synthetic paper inside (near the back of the bridge), we were able to reproduce the cohesiveness of string vibrations coming out of the soundhole, the lingering sound of each string, the touch feeling when fingering, and the airy and delicate sound brought by the overtone components in the upper register that conventional pickups could not pick up. and delicate sounds that are not picked up by conventional pickups. The sound of an acoustic guitar is reproduced as it is when played live on the line.
