The Yamaha FX400 electro-acoustic guitar combines the rich, full-bodied sound of a traditional dreadnought with the flexibility of built-in amplification. Whether you're practising at home, performing at an open mic night or taking your first steps onto the stage, the FX400 delivers the sound, comfort and reliability you need to play with confidence.
Based on the popular F400 acoustic design, the FX400 features a spruce top, carefully designed bracing and an ultra-thin matt finish that allows the instrument to resonate freely. Its dreadnought body produces a warm, powerful sound with plenty of depth, making it an excellent choice for strumming, flatpicking and singer-songwriters.
What sets the FX400 apart is Yamaha's SYSTEM75 pickup and preamp system. Featuring a four-band EQ, built-in tuner and phase switch, it gives you the freedom to shape your amplified sound while helping to control unwanted feedback. Add a comfortable 634mm scale length, narrower string spacing and understated modern styling, and you have a wonderfully versatile guitar that's ready to accompany you wherever your music takes you.
The FX400's traditional dreadnought body gives it the rich, resonant character that has made this shape a favourite among acoustic guitarists for generations. Its spruce top and carefully designed bracing produce a full, expressive sound with the projection to fill a room, while the ultra-thin polyurethane finish helps preserve the instrument's natural resonance. Whether you're strumming powerful chords or exploring more delicate picking techniques, the FX400 offers plenty of dynamic range and musical expression.
The FX400's Yamaha SYSTEM75 electronics make amplifying your sound straightforward. The integrated pickup captures the guitar's natural acoustic character, while the active four-band EQ allows you to adjust the tone to suit your playing style, amplifier or performance environment. A built-in tuner makes it easy to check your tuning without reaching for additional equipment, while the phase switch can help reduce unwanted feedback when performing at higher volumes. Simply connect the guitar to a suitable amplifier or PA system and you're ready to play.
Its slightly shorter 634mm scale length and narrower string spacing make the fretboard approachable, helping players move comfortably between chords, melodies and different playing techniques. The smooth neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a reassuring playing feel, whether you're working through a practice session or performing a full set of songs.
The FX400 combines traditional acoustic guitar proportions with a refreshingly modern appearance. Its clean, understated design removes unnecessary decoration, allowing the natural shape of the instrument to speak for itself. The ultra-thin matt finish feels smooth and natural in your hands while contributing to the guitar's open, resonant sound. Available in Natural Satin and Smoky Black, the FX400 is equally at home on a guitar stand in your living room or under the lights on stage.
The FX400 is an excellent option for players who want a full-bodied acoustic guitar with the added flexibility of amplification. If you don't need built-in electronics, the Yamaha F400 offers the same dreadnought body design as a traditional acoustic guitar. Alternatively, the Yamaha FSX400 combines the same SYSTEM75 pickup and preamp technology with a more compact concert-style body, making it particularly appealing to fingerstyle players and those who prefer a smaller guitar.
