USED YAMAHA / FSX5 Natural 2023 [10]

Made in Japan in 2023, recommended model with 3-way PU and all solid specs!

The body shape is the original fork body shape, and the top is solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. The sound is rich as if it had been played for many years even though it is new. The rich sound of a brand-new instrument that looks as if it has been played for many years, and the warm mid-low range of mahogany wood gives it a powerful resonance. It offers high playability for players who prefer a smaller body, and its grainy, full sound is ideal for responsive chord strokes and fingerpicking.
The neck is also mahogany with an ebony fingerboard surface. The scale is 634 mm and the nut width is 44 mm. The piezo sensor on the under-saddle pickups captures the mid-low range, the microphone on the preamp captures the low range, and the originally developed very thin contact sensor captures the high range. The three different pickups capture each frequency range with certainty, and the very simple operation makes it easy to mix and match the different pickups to create the desired sound. The master volume knob allows for subtle tonal expression, and the mic blend knob adds a boxy feel. The Bass EQ controller allows you to adjust the center frequency range to suit your use case, such as a guitarist who needs to cut the low frequencies in a band formation or a fingerstyle player who needs low frequency support to create a reassuring sound.

There are no particular noticeable signs of use, and we can recommend this to those who are considering a new guitar.

The neck condition is fine, and the truss rod can be adjusted in the direction to tighten or loosen. There are no string marks on the frets and about 90% of the strings are left. Currently, the string height is adjusted at about 2.5mm on the 12F 6th string side and about 2.0mm on the 1st string side. The saddle height is also high enough to allow for a wide range of adjustment.

This is a specification that can be recommended to those who are considering a 000-18 or similar, and it has the quality and robust sound that is typical of Yamaha! Considering that it is all solid, equipped with a 3-way PU, and a Japanese model, isn't this price a good deal? This is one that I recommend!
