The Yamaha FG7 MX, crafted in Japan, is a dreadnought-style acoustic guitar designed to inspire singer-songwriters with its wide sonic palette and smooth playability. Its outstanding projection and clarity—achieved through the fusion of time-honored craftsmanship and cutting-edge innovation—enhance vocals to their fullest. Its exceptional dynamic response brings every chord to life with rich, resonant depth.
The Sitka spruce top with scalloped X-bracing produces an articulate, vibrant tone, while the African mahogany back and sides provide warm lows, present midrange, and rounded overtones. Drawing on subtly integrated elements of traditional Japanese design, it pairs elegant artistry with meticulous construction, honoring the past while shaping the future of acoustic performance. The Atmosfeel pickup system precisely captures the guitar’s natural voice with remarkable definition, preserving its authentic character.
Unique Combination of Powerful Projection and Exceptional Clarity
Strong projection that responds to dynamic strumming and fingerpicking with high headroom, and clarity that supports the song with an open and clear tone that maximize vocal and guitar expression. This was achieved through the use of a Sitka spruce top, bracing optimized specifically for it, and a thicker backboard design, all developed through the Acoustic Design* process.
* Acoustic Design is a cutting-edge development approach adopted since around 2010 by our guitar development division and company-wide R&D team, combining advanced scientific acoustic analysis with the craftsmanship and experience of skilled artisans.
Understated Traditional Japanese Aesthetic
Traditional Japanese aesthetics add a touch of refined and unique character with subtle grace. The inner label is made from traditional washi paper, while the rosette features rope‑shaped inlays inspired by classic Japanese motifs. Fingerboard inlays draw from ancient Kumiki woodworking methods, reflecting the meticulous artistry of Japanese craftsmanship.
Atmosfeel™ Pickup System
Acoustic-electric models are equipped with the Atmosfeel pickup system. The system combines a piezo sensor in the bridge for low frequencies, a microphone for low and midrange frequencies, and our proprietary contact sensor for high frequencies. The result is a full, natural sound with remarkable definition, controlled by simple settings that preserve the guitar's authentic voice.
