Yamaha FS9 RX - Natural Includes Yamaha Hardshell Case

The Yamaha FS9 RX – A Japanese Masterclass in Concert-Body Clarity

Handcrafted Japanese Excellence in a Concert-Style Body

From the first glance to the final note, the Yamaha FS9 RX makes its intentions clear: pure tonal elegance wrapped in meticulous craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Japan, this FS concert-style acoustic-electric pairs a compact body with powerful, articulate projection, offering nuanced detail for fingerstylists and flatpickers alike. With a slimmer waist and shorter scale length, the FS9 RX offers an intimate playing experience with a surprisingly wide tonal range.

Premium Adirondack Spruce and Indian Rosewood Tonewoods

A solid Adirondack spruce top forms the sonic foundation, providing headroom and a dynamic voice that responds beautifully to both light touch and energetic attack. Scalloped X-bracing enhances the top's responsiveness. Back and sides crafted from solid Indian rosewood offer depth and harmonic complexity—perfect for capturing subtle overtones and warm lows. Whether mic’d or amplified, the tonewood pairing brings out the guitar’s character without compromise.

Advanced Neck Design and Refined Feel

Yamaha’s one-piece bolt-on mahogany neck ensures exceptional resonance while offering the benefits of long-term serviceability. The ebony fingerboard with its 15.75-inch radius delivers a luxurious feel under the fingers, enhanced by the instrument's 25-inch scale length and 1 3/4-inch nut width. A semi-gloss polyurethane finish on the neck adds smooth playability while maintaining a classic look.

Versatile Yamaha Atmosfeel Electronics

Outfitted with Yamaha’s Atmosfeel system, this guitar adapts beautifully to stage or studio. The combination of undersaddle piezo, contact sensor, and internal mic offers authentic acoustic tone with remarkable feedback resistance. The onboard master volume, mic blend, and bass EQ controls let you shape your amplified tone with ease—never sacrificing nuance for convenience.

Distinctive Aesthetic with Thoughtful Appointments

Beyond the tone and feel, the FS9 RX is a visual standout. A tortoise-pattern pickguard complements the natural gloss nitrocellulose finish, while ebony body binding and wooden rope-style purfling add artisanal detail. Gotoh SXN510 tuners in Cosmo Black finish off the instrument with precise tuning stability and understated elegance.
