YAMAHA / FGX5 Vintage Natural (VN) [Outlet for long term display]

Acoustic guitar with newly developed pickup system!

<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 is made of solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. The top 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 and 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 new scalloped bracing has been optimized to match the characteristics of the wood itself and the FG and FS models, and has realized further expansion of the low frequency range.

＜Equipped with the newly developed "Atmosfeel" pickup system.
The newly developed Atmosfeel 3-way pickup system consists of three different pickups that reliably capture each frequency range: a piezo sensor in the under-saddle captures the mid-low range, a microphone in the preamp captures the low range, and a proprietary, extremely thin contact sensor captures the high range. 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 subtle 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.

＜Simple and easy-to-use controller
The Atmosfeel's controller section is extremely simple to operate, allowing you to mix and match pickups and create sounds with ease. The master volume knob is used to adjust 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.
