Yamaha FS7 MX: Premium Japanese All-Solid Concert Electro-Acoustic Guitar with Atmosfeel Pickup System

The Yamaha FS7 MX is a premium Japanese-crafted electro-acoustic guitar from the FG/FS7 Series, designed for singer-songwriters and guitarists who appreciate exceptional acoustic tone, expressive dynamics, and refined craftsmanship. Featuring a Concert-style body and all-solid wood construction, the FS7 MX combines a solid Sitka spruce top with solid African mahogany back and sides to produce articulate projection, warm midrange, and beautifully rounded overtones. Its traditional Japanese aesthetics add a distinctive sense of elegance to this performance-ready instrument.

The Concert-style body provides excellent note definition and responsive dynamics, making the Yamaha FS7 MX particularly suitable for fingerstyle playing, delicate picking, and vocal accompaniment. Its relatively compact body shape offers comfortable handling while maintaining a rich and balanced acoustic character. Whether used for songwriting, recording, rehearsals, or live performances, the FS7 MX delivers a versatile and expressive playing experience.

At the heart of the instrument is a solid Sitka spruce top supported by scalloped X-bracing and a reinforced back. This construction helps enhance acoustic projection and tonal responsiveness, allowing the guitar to react naturally to subtle changes in playing intensity. The solid African mahogany back and sides complement the spruce top with warm midrange frequencies and rounded overtones, creating a balanced sound that is both expressive and musically detailed.

The Yamaha FS7 MX features the Atmosfeel™ pickup system, designed to authentically reproduce the instrument’s natural acoustic voice when amplified. By combining an undersaddle pickup, a contact sensor, and an internal microphone, the system captures string definition, body resonance, and acoustic detail. This makes the guitar suitable for connection to acoustic amplifiers, mixing consoles, and PA systems while retaining the character of its acoustic sound.

For comfortable playability, the FS7 MX features a rounded V-shaped mahogany neck that provides a natural grip and smooth movement between playing positions. The ebony fingerboard and bridge contribute to a clear tonal response and efficient vibration transfer, while the bone nut and saddle support clarity, balanced resonance, and sustain. These carefully selected components work together to provide a refined playing feel and expressive acoustic performance.

Completing the instrument are Gotoh open-gear tuning machines in an elegant Cosmo Black finish, offering dependable tuning performance and a classic appearance. Traditional Japanese-inspired styling adds subtle sophistication to the overall design, reflecting Yamaha’s attention to craftsmanship and detail. A protective hardshell case is included for convenient storage and transportation.
