Acoustic Guitar Yamaha FS400 Concert Smoky Black
The Yamaha FS400 delivers Yamaha’s renowned sound quality in a clean, modern design. Its comfortable concert-style body is ideal for younger players or those of smaller stature. The matte finish, with no pickguard or binding, allows you to feel the natural wood texture, while the ultra-thin polyurethane finish and carefully designed bracing pattern ensure rich, open resonance. A 634 mm scale length and narrow string spacing provide enhanced comfort, durability, and stability.
Note: the free shipping offer when the purchase is worth €120 or more (only valid for mainland Portugal) does not apply to Yamaha products.
The Yamaha FS400 Concert Smoky Black is an acoustic folk guitar designed for those seeking comfort, simplicity, and the consistent sound quality that Yamaha has been offering to generations of musicians.
The concert body makes the FS400 especially comfortable for younger musicians, shorter guitarists, or those who prefer a less bulky guitar than traditional dreadnought models. The balanced dimensions help maintain a natural posture, facilitate access to the neck, and make the playing experience more immediate. Despite its compact shape, the guitar maintains a rich and well-distributed acoustic response, with good definition across all frequencies.
The spruce top contributes to a clear, articulate, and dynamic sound. This wood responds well to different intensities of touch, allowing the guitar to accompany both soft passages and more pronounced rhythms. The carefully designed internal bracing pattern favors resonance and gives the FS400 a lively response, very useful for those who want to feel the instrument reacting naturally to the touch.
The satin finish plays an important role in the identity of this model. Without fingerboards or fretboards, the FS400 bets on a clean, direct, and contemporary aesthetic that values the texture of the wood and reinforces the feeling of simplicity. The inlaid brown rosette adds a discreet detail, maintaining a sober and elegant look. The result is a Yamaha acoustic guitar with a modern presence, but without visual exaggeration.
The rosewood fingerboard, with a length of 634 mm and a radius of 400 mm, offers a comfortable and familiar feel. The nut width (43 mm) creates enough space to form chords accurately, without making the neck too demanding for less experienced hands. The 10 mm string spacing favors an accessible touch and helps maintain control in fingerpicking, chord changes, and rhythmic progressions. The nut and urea comb contribute to a stable transmission of string vibration.
The bridge is made of rosewood and the pins are made of black ABS. The chrome tuning pegs ensure stable tuning for everyday use, something essential for those who are learning or for those who want a guitar ready to play whenever an idea comes to mind.
Yamaha maintains a solid reputation for durability, consistency, and attention to detail in its acoustic instruments. The FS400 Concert Smoky Black follows this philosophy with a simple, comfortable, and musically effective design.
For those looking for a compact, comfortable folk guitar with a clear sound, the Yamaha FS400 Concert Smoky Black offers a balanced, reliable, and very musical acoustic experience.
