A Yamaha FX Designed to Play Both Amplified and Acoustic
The FX370C fits within the spirit of versatile Yamaha folk guitars: an instrument designed to remain simple, effective, and reliable, with a cutaway that modernizes its use and facilitates playing in the upper registers. It's typically the kind of guitar you keep on hand for practicing, composing, accompanying vocals, and then plugging in whenever amplification is needed.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
This guitar is especially suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an electro-acoustic that's easy to handle both at home and in a band setting. It works very well for pop, acoustic rock, variety, folk styles, and pick accompaniment, while remaining comfortable for fingerpicking thanks to its clear response.
Sound Characteristics
The spruce top adds brightness and good articulation, highlighting pick attacks and chord clarity. The back and sides, listed as either sapele or nato depending on the specs, generally provide a warm and balanced tone with present mids, which is practical for vocal accompaniment. When plugged in, the guitar benefits from the piezo pickup under the bridge: a quick response and direct sound that sits easily in a mix, with marked dynamics for rhythmic playing.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To equip it without risk, choose a set of steel acoustic folk strings (standard gauge like 012-053) and a dreadnought / western cutaway gig bag or case (suitable for folk guitars with cutaway). A strap and a tuner complete an ideal setup for rehearsals and stage use.
