{"product_id":"20-1r9l5ocft-242a","title":"[SN ILZ242A] YAMAHA \/ FG Red Label FGX5 GLOSS (FGX5G) Vintage Natural [20]","description":"An acoustic guitar featuring a gloss-finish body and the highly acclaimed Atomosfeel pickup system!\u003cbr\u003e \nThis new model features a gloss finish (body), enhancing its premium feel!\u003cbr\u003e \nA fusion of 1960s aesthetics and master craftsmanship honed over more than 50 years\u003cbr\u003e \nEquipped with the newly developed “Atmosfeel” pickup system. It allows you to faithfully capture the acoustic guitar’s airy quality and natural resonance through the line output.\u003cbr\u003e \nYamaha’s original jumbo body shape delivers rich volume and natural mid-to-low-frequency resonance. The sound is ideal for chord strumming and flatpicking.\u003cbr\u003e \nThrough repeated refinements utilizing proprietary scalloped bracing and the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology, it achieves an ideal warm tone and rich low-end response\u003cbr\u003e \nThe top is made of solid Sitka spruce treated with A.R.E., producing a mature sound reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for many years\u003cbr\u003e \nThe fingerboard, bridge, and bridge pins are made of ebony.\u003cbr\u003e \nA “Made in Japan” model set up by skilled technicians\u003cbr\u003e \nHard case included\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Yamaha’s Traditional V-Shaped Headstock\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e \nThe original headstock shape of the Yamaha FG features a logo modeled after a tuning fork. The truss rod cover is engraved with “Since 1966,” signifying the origins of Yamaha guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;SOLID Sitka spruce Top\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e \nThe body top is crafted from solid Sitka spruce treated with A.R.E. technology. This delivers a rich, resonant tone that sounds as though the guitar has been played for years, even though it is brand new. The well-balanced sound is ideal for chord strumming or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Solid Mahogany Sides and Back\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e \nSolid mahogany is used for the sides and back, delivering the warm, rich midrange characteristic of mahogany.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Cowbone Nut and Saddle\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e \nThe nut and saddle are made of cow bone (Grade #5 only). Cow bone is extremely hard, enabling more effective sound transmission from the strings to the neck and body. Installing and adjusting a cow bone nut requires a high level of technical skill; each guitar is carefully crafted one by one by skilled guitar craftsmen in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Proprietary Scalloped Bracing\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e \nAiming to achieve an ideal, warm tone, we have repeatedly refined the design by combining virtual prototyping using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology with physical prototypes crafted from wood. Compared to the scalloped bracing used in the FG\/FS#800 series, this bracing has been optimized to match the characteristics of the wood itself and the specific models of the FG and FS series, resulting in further enhancement of the low-frequency response.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) Treatment\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e \nThe top is treated with Yamaha’s proprietary Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) process. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, this process replicates the natural aging changes that occur in wood over a long period after milling within a short timeframe. This enhances sound transmission and vibration efficiency, promoting the extension of mid-to-low frequencies while increasing the attack of high frequencies and accelerating their decay.The A.R.E. treatment produces a well-balanced, mature, and warm sound with minimal harsh overtones, creating a tone reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Equipped with the Newly Developed “Atmosfeel” Pickup System\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e \nThe newly developed Atmosfeel 3-way pickup system features an under-saddle piezo sensor for the mid-to-low frequencies, a microphone built into the preamp for the low frequencies, and a proprietary, ultra-thin contact sensor for the high frequencies—ensuring that these three distinct pickups reliably capture each frequency range.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Simple and User-Friendly Controller\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e \nThe “Atmosfeel” controller unit allows you to blend the various pickups with extremely simple controls, making it easy to shape your sound. Use the master volume knob to fine-tune subtle tonal nuances, and the mic blend knob to add body resonance. The Bass EQ controller lets you adjust the peak EQ settings.\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial No.: ILZ242A\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 2.18 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nJAN: 4957812702713\u003cbr\u003e \nIncluded Accessories: Hard Case, Soundhole Cover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nProduct Specifications\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Type: FG Dreadnought Style\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Length    505 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Width (Maximum Width): 412 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Thickness: 100–118 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale Length    634 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nOverall Length    1030 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard Width (at Nut\/Body Joint)    44 mm\/55 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nTop    Solid Sitka spruce A.R.E.\u003cbr\u003e \nBracing Pattern: Scalloped Bracing\u003cbr\u003e \nBack: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nSides: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck    African mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge    Ebony\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge saddle    Cow bone\u003cbr\u003e \nTuners: Kluson Open Gear (Y1D)\u003cbr\u003e \nNut    Cow Bone\u003cbr\u003e \nFinish    Body: Gloss \/ Neck: Satin\u003cbr\u003e \nPickup System: Atmosfeel SYSTEM74 (Hybrid 3-Way System)\u003cbr\u003e \nControls    EQ (Bass)\/Master Volume\/Mic Blend","brand":"YAMAHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49236331692284,"sku":"20-1r9l5ocft-242a","price":226600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/2247\/6028\/files\/e4213e243da9497baffb3e0db8a3f167_202606307314704.jpg?v=1782810551","url":"https:\/\/intl.ishibashi.co.jp\/products\/20-1r9l5ocft-242a","provider":"Ishibashi Music Corporation.
