Description

Handcrafted in Japan, the Yamaha FS7 R is a premium concert-sized acoustic that blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with a refined, modern playing experience. With its solid Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, and a compact FS body, it delivers a rich, articulate voice that is perfect for fingerstyle, detailed strumming and expressive solo work. Every element of the FS7 R has been carefully considered to maximise projection, clarity and responsiveness. From the scalloped X-bracing and reinforced back construction to the one-piece African mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, this guitar is built for players who want a highly responsive, inspiring acoustic that rewards a light touch and nuanced dynamics. Premium materials are matched by exquisite finishing touches, including rope-inspired soundhole detailing, a washi-paper inner label and fingerboard inlays influenced by traditional Kumiki woodworking. With its natural gloss body finish, semi-gloss neck and high-end Gotoh open-gear tuners, the FS7 R feels every bit as special as it sounds. Compact Concert Body with Big-Voice Projection The FS concert-style body offers a slightly smaller, more comfortable feel than a full-size dreadnought, making it ideal for players who value ergonomics without sacrificing tone. Its carefully voiced body dimensions and depth work with the bracing and reinforced back to produce a balanced, dynamic sound with impressive projection, whether you are playing at home, in the studio or on stage with a microphone. Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Scalloped X-Bracing At the heart of the FS7 R is a solid Sitka spruce top supported by scalloped X-bracing that has been specially designed for the FG/FS7 Series. This combination delivers excellent clarity, headroom and responsiveness, so your playing nuances come through clearly. The top reacts quickly to both a gentle touch and more aggressive strumming, giving you a wide expressive range. Solid Indian Rosewood Back and Sides Solid Indian rosewood back and sides provide a full low end, sparkling highs and complex overtones, giving the FS7 R a rich, detailed acoustic character. The reinforced back construction further enhances projection and resonance, helping every note bloom with depth and sustain while maintaining excellent note separation. Premium Japanese Craftsmanship and Aesthetics Crafted in Japan as part of Yamaha’s FG/FS7 Series, the FS7 R showcases meticulous build quality and subtle, traditional styling cues. From the ebony fingerboard and bridge to the wooden rope-pattern soundhole inlay and Kumiki-inspired fingerboard markers, it exudes understated elegance that reflects its high-end construction and heritage. Key Features Compact FS Concert-Style Body – The smaller concert body shape offers a comfortable feel and excellent balance when seated or standing, while still delivering strong projection and a focused, articulate sound that suits fingerstyle, light strumming and intricate chord work. Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Scalloped X-Bracing – The solid Sitka spruce top, paired with FG/FS7-specific scalloped X-bracing, provides a lively, responsive tone with impressive clarity and dynamic range, allowing your playing nuances and dynamics to shine through. Solid Indian Rosewood Back and Sides – Solid Indian rosewood back and sides add depth, warmth and shimmering overtones, giving the guitar a rich, complex voice with full lows and detailed highs that work beautifully for both solo performance and ensemble playing. Premium Neck, Hardware and Appointments – A one-piece African mahogany neck with a rounded V profile, ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, and Gotoh SXN510 tuners combine to deliver a smooth playing feel, rock-solid tuning stability and excellent sustain, all wrapped in tasteful Japanese-inspired cosmetic details.
