YAMAHA / FSX5 Vintage Natural (VN) [20]

<Solid Sitka spruce is used for the front board.
The top is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E.. The top is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. The rich sound of the new instrument is as if it has been played for many years, and the warm mid-low range of the mahogany wood gives the instrument 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.

<Cow bone upper and lower bridge pieces
The upper and lower bridge pieces are made of cow bone (#5 grade only). The bone is extremely hard and allows for more effective transmission of sound from the strings to the neck and body. The installation and adjustment of the ox bone nut requires a high level of skill, and each guitar is carefully crafted in Japan by skilled guitar craftsmen.

<Newly developed scalloped bracing
The scalloped bracing used on the FG/FS#800 series has been improved through a combination of pseudo prototyping using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and prototyping by wood craftsmen. 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 a good balance and fewer 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 sound. The sound of a live acoustic guitar is reproduced as it is in the line out.
