Yamaha's FG Heritage acoustic and electroacoustic guitars are an interesting combination of classic design (based on the FG180 models introduced in 1966) and modern features. These are well crafted all-mass instruments in the popular Dreadnought "western" shape, which should not escape the attention of contemporary songwriters and folk musicians.
The front plate of the FGX5 Heritage Natural electroacoustic guitar is made from solid Sitka spruce, which has undergone A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology at the molecular level before assembly. Through precise control of temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure, the wood achieves acoustic qualities comparable to an instrument that has been actively played for many years. You get your hands on a guitar with "won" wood.
The "All Star" set-up is complemented by solid mahogany on the sides and back of the instrument. The acoustic properties are raised to a higher level by the new design of the reduced X ribbing. The mahogany neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. Tuning stability is guaranteed by the attachment of the strings through the saddle and zero fret made of real bone in the company's open tuning machines and ebony headstock.
The Atmosfeel preamp offers a unique triple sound sensing method using an under-cowbell piezo pickup, a microphone capsule and a pickup/sensor attached to the top of the guitar. This allows the guitar to offer a full, natural acoustic sound balanced across the entire frequency spectrum, even when voiced. Three knobs subtly placed in the back of the guitar allow you to control the volume, adjust the microphone/sensor pickup ratio and shape the tone colour to your liking.
The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by details derived from the half-century-old originals, i.e. semi-gloss finish, "V" shaped headstock adorned with the famous "tuning fork" logo, and traditional decorative elements in the form of a black and white body surround, a rosette composed of black and white lines and a practical wooden pickguard.
The guitar is supplied in a case.
