Yamaha 2025 FG9 RX w/case

One of the most fun to play guitars we have in right now. And also one of the best pickups we have heard in an acoustic guitar. Yamaha has really done a great job developing the ‘Atmosfeel’ 3 way pickup.

Featuring an Adirondack spruce top with tapered edges, providing structural strength while allowing the body to vibrate more efficiently—a combination that contributes to both power and sensitivity.

The Yamaha Atmosfeel three-way pickup system, built into the FG9 RX, FG9 MX, FS9 RX, and FS9 MX, uses a piezo sensor in the bridge to capture low frequencies, a microphone for low and midrange, and our proprietary, thin synthetic sheet soundboard transducer for high frequencies.The result is a full, natural sound with simple controls that make it easy to get great plugged-in tone.

The preamp controls let you blend the microphone sound into the premixed pickup sound. The microphone sound particularly complements solo performers and chordal players, while a lower blend may be preferred by fingerstyle players and guitarists who need to cut through a full band.

The bass knob controls a peaking EQ. The center frequency rises when boosting and lowers when attenuating, so that low frequencies, which could be problematic on stage, can be removed but never added

The distinctive fingerboard inlays resemble traditional Japanese Kumiki woodworking, while the rope-shaped inlay and purfling on the rosette is a motif deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
