Yamaha FS7 MX Natural Electro-acoustic guitar

Yamaha FS7 MX Concert Electro-Acoustic — Japan-Crafted Tone for the Stage

The Yamaha FS7 MX is a concert-style electro-acoustic guitar built in Japan for players who want a refined, smaller-bodied alternative to a traditional dreadnought. Its FS concert shape keeps the lower bout compact while still delivering the focused, articulate response fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters rely on. A solid Sitka spruce top meets solid African mahogany back and sides, and Yamaha's Atmosfeel electronics translate that acoustic character faithfully to a PA or front-of-house mix. It is the right choice for performing musicians who want a compact, well-built acoustic that sounds as natural through a sound system as it does unplugged.

What Sets This Model Apart in the FS Series

Unlike most stage-ready acoustics, this model uses Yamaha's three-element Atmosfeel system — an undersaddle pickup, a contact sensor and a small onboard microphone — to reproduce the guitar's natural voice rather than a one-dimensional piezo signal. The solid tonewood construction is paired with scalloped X-bracing and a thicker back board, a combination Yamaha reserves for its higher-tier FS models.

Solid Tonewoods — Sitka Spruce and African Mahogany

Built around tonewoods that respond to a light touch yet project clearly in a live mix, the body pairs Sitka spruce on the top with African mahogany for the back and sides.

• Top Material: Solid Sitka Spruce — high headroom and dynamic sensitivity for fingerpicking and strumming alike
• Back & Sides: Solid African Mahogany — warm midrange and smooth, rounded overtones that complement the spruce top
• Body: FS Concert Style, 497 mm long, 380 mm wide, 90–115 mm deep — compact lower bout for comfortable seated and standing play

African Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

A one-piece African mahogany neck sits beneath an ebony fingerboard, giving the instrument a stable, familiar feel under the fretting hand.

• Neck Material: One-piece African Mahogany — stable, resonant neck with a rounded V-shaped profile
• Fingerboard: Ebony with 400 mm radius — smooth, dense surface that suits both flatpicking and fingerstyle
• Nut Width: 44 mm with 11.0 mm string spacing — comfortable for fingerstyle without feeling cramped for strummers

Atmosfeel Pickup System and Stage-Ready Hardware

Atmosfeel electronics are the defining stage feature, blending three signal sources to keep the amplified tone close to the acoustic voice.

• Pickup System: Atmosfeel (Undersaddle Pickup + Contact Sensor + Mic) — three-element blend for natural amplified tone
• Onboard Controls: Master Volume, Mic Blend, Bass EQ — quick shaping of the amplified signal without an external preamp
• Tuners: Gotoh SXN510 Cosmo Black — smooth, accurate tuning with a dark, low-profile look

Built for Fingerstyle Players, Singer-Songwriters and Gigging Musicians

This guitar is aimed at performing musicians who need a compact, well-built acoustic that travels well and sounds consistent night after night. The no-cutaway body keeps the top unblemished for maximum resonance, while the absence of an onboard tuner keeps the control layout minimal. Fingerstyle players benefit from the smaller FS concert body, which keeps the bass tight and the note definition clear even during complex passages. Singer-songwriters will appreciate how the Atmosfeel system preserves the guitar's natural warmth when running through a PA, removing the need for an external DI or preamp.

Yamaha FS Series — The Compact Cousin of the Legendary FG

Yamaha's FS Series is built on the same platform as the multi-award-winning FG Series, but in a smaller concert body shape designed for fingerstyle and smaller-framed players. The FS7 MX sits near the top of the FS lineup, made in Japan alongside Yamaha's flagship handcrafted acoustics.
