This item is shown with images of the actual instrument and is a warehouse kept item that has not been displayed in a store. Each part of the instrument is functionally checked by our dedicated staff before shipping.
Equipped with the newly developed "Atmosfeel" pickup system
Yamaha's original fork body shape is small in size and has good grain, ideal for responsive chord strokes and fingerpicking.
Newly developed scalloped bracing produces a warm, powerful sound with deep bass and rich overtones.
Features an A.R.E.-treated solid Sitka spruce top. Aged sound as if it has been played for years.
Lightweight light case included.

<Solid Sitka spruce for the front board and solid mahogany for the side back board>.
The top is solid Sitka spruce with A.R.E. and the sides and back are solid mahogany. Although new, it has a rich sound as if it has been played for many years, and the warm mid-low range and powerful resonance that only mahogany wood can provide. Ideal for chord strokes or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.

<Newly developed scalloped bracing>.
Aiming for an ideal warm tone, we have made a series of improvements by combining pseudo prototypes using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and woodworking prototypes, optimizing the characteristics of the wood itself and the body shapes of FG and FS to further expand 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 sound.
