Yamaha FSX315C Concert Cutaway Electro-Acoustic Guitar
The Yamaha FSX315C is a concert-size cutaway electro-acoustic guitar from Yamaha's F/FX range. It combines a spruce top with Yamaha's SYSTEM68 preamp and A.R.T. one-way pickup, so it sounds natural both unplugged and through an amplifier or PA, with volume, tone and a built-in tuner on board.
Yamaha aims the FSX315C at developing players, and its concert-size body makes it a good fit for younger players and anyone who finds a full dreadnought bulky. It is equally at home for practice and lessons as it is for rehearsals and small stage performances.
Key Features
Concert Cutaway Body
The FSX315C's concert body measures 380 mm across and 96-116 mm deep, making it more compact than Yamaha's dreadnought-style models. The cutaway opens up access to the higher frets for lead lines and chord voicings further up the neck.
Spruce Top for a Balanced Voice
A spruce top gives the FSX315C a clear, articulate sound that suits strumming, fingerpicking and accompaniment. The back, sides and neck are made from locally sourced tonewoods, which Yamaha selects by availability to reduce waste and support sustainable sourcing.
A.R.T. Pickup for Natural Plugged-In Tone
The FSX315C uses Yamaha's A.R.T. one-way pickup, designed to recreate the guitar's natural tone and dynamics when amplified. It captures the resonance of the body, so the plugged-in sound stays close to what you hear acoustically.
SYSTEM68 Preamp with Built-In Tuner
The SYSTEM68 preamp offers simple volume and tone controls along with a built-in tuner. A line output lets you connect the FSX315C to an acoustic amplifier, mixer or PA system for practice or performance.
25" Scale and Comfortable Neck
A 634 mm (25") scale, 43 mm nut width and 10.0 mm string spacing at the bridge give the FSX315C an approachable feel. The neck has a matt finish and a rosewood fingerboard with a 400 mm radius.
Gloss Finish with Bound Body
The FSX315C has a gloss body finish with black and cream body binding, a black and white soundhole inlay and a tortoise-pattern pickguard. Yamaha offers it in Natural and Tobacco Brown Sunburst.
Reliable Yamaha Hardware
Covered chrome tuners, a rosewood bridge, a urea nut and saddle and black ABS bridge pins make up the hardware. Together they give the FSX315C the dependable Yamaha build quality the F/FX range is known for, at an accessible level for developing players.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the FSX315C different from the FSX80C?
Both are concert cutaway guitars with a spruce top, 634 mm scale, SYSTEM68 preamp, A.R.T. one-way pickup and volume, tone and tuner controls. The FSX315C has a full gloss body finish, black and cream body binding and a tortoise-pattern pickguard, while the FSX80C is handcrafted in India with a gloss top and matt back and sides, black binding and a black pickguard, and is offered in four finishes.
Should I choose the FSX315C or the FX280?
They share the same SYSTEM68 electronics, A.R.T. pickup, spruce top and 634 mm scale. The FX280 has a larger Traditional Western body (412 mm wide, 505 mm long) for a fuller strumming sound, whereas the FSX315C's smaller concert body (380 mm wide) and cutaway are more comfortable and give easier upper-fret access.
Can I plug it into an amplifier or PA?
Yes. The FSX315C has a line output, so you can connect it to an acoustic guitar amplifier, mixer or PA system. Volume and tone are adjusted on the guitar's control panel.
Does it have a built-in tuner?
Yes. The SYSTEM68 preamp includes a tuner alongside the volume and tone controls.
What comes in the box?
Yamaha includes a hex wrench for truss-rod adjustment. A case is not included, so we recommend adding a gig bag or case for transport.
Who is the FSX315C best suited to?
Yamaha designed it for developing players, and its concert-size body suits younger players and those with a smaller frame. It works well for anyone who wants one guitar for home practice and occasional performances.
