Yamaha FGX3

$850.00

The Yamaha FGX3 is an all-solid-wood, acoustic-electric dreadnought guitar from the “Red Label” series, featuring a vintage aesthetic with modern enhancements like a treated top and a three-way pickup system. It is designed as a professional-grade instrument that offers great value for gigging musicians and singer-songwriters. 
Key Features
  • A.R.E. Treated Solid Top: The solid Sitka spruce top undergoes Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) process, which uses heat, humidity, and pressure to mimic the natural aging of the wood, resulting in a rich, vintage, and played-in tone with enhanced sustain right out of the box.
  • All-Solid Construction: The guitar features solid mahogany back and sides, which contributes to a warm, woody, and balanced tone with a strong midrange and powerful low end.
  • Atmosfeel Electronics: The “X” in the model name indicates the inclusion of the innovative Atmosfeel pickup system. This three-way system utilizes an under-saddle piezo, a body contact sensor, and an internal microphone to capture a natural, three-dimensional amplified sound.
  • Vintage Aesthetics: The FGX3 harkens back to Yamaha’s iconic 1960s “Red Label” guitars with a semi-gloss finish, classic V-shaped headstock, and open-gear tuners.
  • Comfortable Playability: It features a matte-finish African mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard and bridge. The neck shape is noted for making barre chords easier for some players.
