Description
*** Late October 2024 ETA ***
The FG heritage extends back to the 1966 release of the FG180, the first production acoustic guitar by Yamaha. In the more than half-century since, we have balanced traditional guitar craft with a spirit of constant refinement, pursuing our vision of the ideal folk guitar.
The FGX5 dreadnought-style acoustic guitar with built-in pickup system delivers full, punchy low end, well-suited for strumming and flatpicking. Modern craftsmanship complements its 1960s aesthetics, and superior Yamaha build quality is showcased under a beautiful gloss finish. The Atmosfeel™ pickup faithfully reproduces the guitar's character onstage.
