Yamaha FSX5 Red Label Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural Concert | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha FSX5 Red Label Acoustic-Electric Guitar represents premium Japanese craftsmanship in a comfortable concert body size, featuring solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. This professional instrument combines Yamaha's innovative A.R.E. aging process with modified scalloped bracing and revolutionary Atmosfeel electronics for mature, developed tone and exceptional amplified performance. Perfect for advanced fingerstylists, flatpickers, and recording artists who demand sophisticated acoustic character with cutting-edge electronics.
Product Overview
The FSX5 showcases Yamaha's commitment to innovation through the proprietary A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) aging process, which artificially ages the solid Sitka spruce top to achieve the rich, mature tone typically found only in vintage instruments. This advanced treatment, combined with modified scalloped bracing, creates exceptional resonance and harmonic complexity that responds beautifully to both delicate fingerpicking and aggressive flatpicking techniques.
The concert body size strikes an ideal balance between comfort and projection, making extended playing sessions comfortable while delivering sufficient volume for solo performance and recording applications. Solid mahogany back and sides contribute warm, woody character with focused midrange clarity that complements the spruce top's brightness perfectly. This premium tonewood combination ensures professional sound quality and long-term tonal development.
Yamaha's revolutionary Atmosfeel electronics system represents the cutting edge of acoustic amplification technology. By combining an undersaddle pickup with contact sensors and internal microphone, this three-source system captures the complete acoustic character without the harsh artifacts typically associated with piezo-only systems. The sophisticated blending capabilities allow precise tone shaping for any performance or recording situation.

- Recording artists requiring authentic acoustic tone with studio-quality amplification
- Advanced players who appreciate innovative construction techniques and mature sound
- Flatpickers needing articulate projection with warm, balanced frequency response
- Musicians who value Japanese craftsmanship and cutting-edge acoustic technology
