1960s aesthetics and modern craft, refined over 50+ years of Yamaha guitar development. The original Yamaha FS concert shape is a good fit for players who prefer a smaller body, and has a slightly brighter sound to complement strumming and fingerpicking. The new scalloped FS bracing pattern provides a warm, powerful tone with rich harmonics. Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment imparts the sound and sustain of aged wood.
The made in Japan Yamaha FS5 is an all-solid construction that features a solid Sitka spruce top with mahogany back & sides, ebony fingerboard, bridge, bridge pins, and end pin, bone nut and saddle.
Includes a hardshell case.
