Product details
Yamaha FX400 Electro-Acoustic Guitar
The Yamaha FX400 is a dreadnought-style electro-acoustic guitar designed for musicians who want powerful acoustic projection with the flexibility of amplified performance. It features a spruce top that produces a clear, balanced tone with natural resonance. Its traditional dreadnought body delivers a full, rich sound, making it suitable for strumming, songwriting, accompaniment, and live performances.
The guitar features locally sourced tonewood back and sides, a matching neck, and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Its carefully designed bracing and ultra-thin polyurethane finish help enhance resonance and create an open acoustic response. The 634 mm scale length and 43 mm nut width provide comfortable playability, while the steel strings deliver bright articulation and a versatile acoustic tone.
For amplified performance, the FX400 features Yamaha's SYSTEM75 electronics with an active four-band EQ preamp and an undersaddle piezo pickup. Its onboard controls include volume, four-band equalization, a built-in chromatic tuner, and a phase switch to help manage feedback. The LINE OUT connection allows direct connection to an amplifier or PA system. Its modern matte finish and minimalist design without a pickguard or body binding highlight the natural texture of the instrument.
