From the FS400 to the FSX400: An Evolution Designed for Amplification
Inspired by the FS400, the FSX400 retains its spirit: a simple, modern, and efficient design focused on the essentials. The key difference is the addition of full electronics that transform this "Concert" guitar into a true partner for concerts and rehearsals, without sacrificing a sober aesthetic and a build oriented towards durability, faithful to Yamaha's quality standards.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Thanks to its Concert format and ergonomics, the FSX400 is particularly aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an easy-to-play folk guitar, as well as musicians who need a reliable instrument on stage. It is well suited for pop and folk accompaniment, arpeggio playing, light fingerstyle, and any context where a balanced and clean sound in the mix is desired.
Sound
The spruce top delivers a clear attack and good definition, ideal for highlighting both chords and melodies. The back and sides made of local tonewood contribute to a homogeneous response, with a clear midrange and projection adapted to the Concert format. The ultra-thin polyurethane finish (matte appearance) promotes a more open resonance sensation by allowing the instrument to vibrate freely. When plugged in, the SYSTEM75 electronics with its 4-band EQ allow precise adjustment of the balance (depending on the venue, playing style, or genre), while the phase inverter helps better manage feedback risks at high volume. The built-in tuner simplifies quick changes between songs.
