The innovative Scalloped-X bracing and ultra-thin nitrocellulose finish allow the body to resonate freely, giving the guitar impressive projection and tonal clarity. Visually, the FS9 RX shines with its elegant natural finish and carefully crafted details. A well-padded case is also included for safe storage and transport.
The Yamaha FS9 RX delivers a powerful and character-rich tone, thanks to its premium solid tonewoods and intelligent design. The Scalloped-X bracing and ultra-thin nitrocellulose finish support optimal resonance, allowing the guitar to respond beautifully even to the lightest touch. The choice of materials also reflects the high standards of craftsmanship: the Indian rosewood body provides a full, balanced tone with strong bass and warm mids, while the Adirondack spruce top adds brilliance and complex overtones. This classic combination of tonewoods is widely favored in high-end acoustic guitars for its sonic versatility and depth.
Fitted with Yamaha’s advanced Atmosfeel system, the FS9 RX delivers an amplified tone that captures every nuance of your performance. Designed for natural, room-filling sound, this pickup system blends microphone, piezo, and transducer elements to achieve a perfect balance across all frequencies. The result is a clear, dynamic tone with strong lows, defined mids, and sparkling highs. A user-friendly control interface allows effortless adjustment of volume, equalization, and ambient room sound, while maintaining the guitar’s clean aesthetic with discreetly positioned controls.
The FS9 RX offers excellent playability, supported by a compact concert body and a comfortable mahogany neck with a smooth, even weight distribution. The velvety ebony fingerboard allows the fretting hand to glide effortlessly across all 20 frets. A bone nut with a width of 44 millimeters provides optimal spacing for both powerful strumming and delicate fingerpicking. The short 634-millimeter scale length reduces string tension, making complex fingering and chord transitions easier. Precise intonation and long-lasting tuning stability are ensured by the ebony bridge with bone inlay and matching ebony bridge pins.
The visual appeal of the Yamaha FS9 RX is enhanced by its timeless natural finish and thoughtful design details. The nitrocellulose lacquer highlights the fine grain of the tonewoods, enhancing the guitar’s organic beauty. Distinctive touches such as the tortoise-pattern pickguard, Japanese kumiki inlays, rope-style bindings, and a wooden rosette in the Rope Pattern style contribute to the guitar’s unique character. These features give the instrument an unmistakable personality that reflects Yamaha’s blend of tradition and innovation.
