FGX5: The "FG" Spirit Revisited in an Electro-Acoustic Version
The FGX5 continues the legacy of Yamaha's "FG" folk guitars, a family known for reliability and balanced sound. Here, the approach is clearly high-end: selected solid tonewoods, an elegant Gloss finish, and modern amplification that respects the instrument's acoustic voice.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This electro-acoustic is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive guitar, equally convincing unplugged or plugged in. The 44 mm / 1.73" nut width favors fingerstyle, arpeggios, and precise left-hand playing, while remaining very comfortable for strumming in pop, folk, americana, blues, or voice-guitar accompaniment.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Sitka spruce top, treated with A.R.E., delivers clarity, dynamics, and excellent attack response, ideal for transitioning from delicate to more forceful playing. The solid mahogany back and sides add warmth, prominent mids, and a natural grain feel, with generous sustain. When plugged in, the Atmosfeel 3-sensor electronics allow you to blend the "microphone" character via the Mic Blend, adjust the bass with the Bass EQ, and control the overall level with the Volume, for a more organic and stage-ready sound.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of this folk guitar, consider a set of acoustic folk guitar strings (steel) suited to your touch, as well as a strap (handy for stage use). The included hard case already provides optimal protection for transport.
