YAMAHA / Red Label Series FSX3 Vintage Natural [10]

<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.

＜Newly developed scalloped bracing.
The scalloped bracing used on the FG/FS#800 series has been improved through a combination of pseudo-testing using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and woodworking prototypes. 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 component in the upper register, which conventional pickups could not pick up. and delicate sounds brought about by overtone components in the high frequency range. The sound of an acoustic guitar is reproduced as it is when played live on the line.
