Product details
Compact Concert Comfort. Natural Yamaha Tone. Ready to Plug In.
The Yamaha FSX315C is a compact concert-cutaway electro-acoustic guitar designed for developing players who want an instrument that feels comfortable at home and performs confidently when amplified. Its slimmer concert body sits naturally against the player, while the cutaway provides easier access to the upper frets.
A spruce top gives the guitar a clear, balanced acoustic voice for chords, melody work and fingerstyle playing. When it is time to connect to an amplifier, mixer or PA system, Yamaha’s SYSTEM68 electronics and A.R.T. one-way pickup reproduce the instrument’s natural body resonance and playing dynamics. With simple volume and tone controls plus a built-in tuner, the FSX315C is ready for lessons, practice, worship, rehearsals and live performance.
Key Features
Comfortable concert-cutaway body
The concert-sized body is more compact than a traditional dreadnought, making it easier to hold for younger players, smaller-framed musicians and anyone who prefers a less bulky acoustic guitar. The cutaway improves access to higher frets for lead lines and more adventurous chord voicings.
Spruce top with a balanced acoustic voice
Spruce is valued for its clarity, responsiveness and versatility. The FSX315C delivers a musical balance of definition and warmth that works well for strumming, fingerpicking and accompaniment across a wide range of styles.
Yamaha A.R.T. pickup for a natural amplified sound
Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Transducer technology is designed to capture more of the guitar’s body resonance and playing dynamics. The result is a warm, natural plugged-in sound for an acoustic amplifier, audio interface, mixer or PA system.
SYSTEM68 controls and built-in tuner
The onboard system provides easy access to volume and tone controls, along with a convenient built-in tuner. You can tune quietly and make quick level or tonal adjustments without carrying a separate tuner.
Full-size feel with player-friendly dimensions
A 634 mm (25-inch) scale, 43 mm nut width and 10 mm string spacing provide a familiar full-size playing experience while retaining the comfortable feel of the concert body. The matt neck finish also supports smooth movement along the fingerboard.
