Yamaha FS400 Concert Acoustic Guitar - Smoky Black

For guitarists drawn to darker aesthetics – from rock and metal enthusiasts to Johnny Cash fans – the Yamaha FS400 Concert Acoustic Guitar in Smoky Black delivers a bold yet understated look paired with exceptional tone and playability.

Constructed with a spruce top and locally sourced tonewoods for the back, sides, and neck, the Yamaha FS400 creates a responsive and harmonically balanced tone. Its ultra-thin polyurethane finish and carefully tuned bracing pattern allow the soundboard to vibrate freely, resulting in an open, lively voice.

The concert body shape delivers a tighter, more focused projection with a slightly brighter sound than a dreadnought, making it ideal for fingerstyle playing or light strumming. Its size also makes it a comfortable fit for younger players who prefer a full-sized acoustic without the extra bulk.

The minimalist design, with no binding or pickguard, draws attention to its clean curves and natural black topped beauty.

For learning, songwriting, or studio recording, the Yamaha FS400 Acoustic Guitar offers shimmering highs, articulate mids, and a well-controlled low end. It’s a versatile and inspiring choice for musicians seeking clarity, comfort, and timeless acoustic tone.

Compact Concert Body

The Yamaha FS400 Concert Acoustic Guitar in Smoky Black produces a tight, expressive tone that shines in smaller venues, practice sessions, or home performances. Its concert body design keeps the bass focused while highlighting crisp mids and clear trebles, ensuring every note cuts through beautifully.

The smaller size enhances comfort, making it an ideal option for smaller players or anyone who prefers a closer, more intimate playing feel.

Smooth and Comfortable Neck

For effortless playability, the FS400 features a 25" (634 mm) neck crafted from locally sourced tonewood and topped with a rosewood fingerboard. This setup provides a smooth touch and responsive action, ideal for fretting chords or melodic runs.

Its comfortable neck profile minimises strain, allowing for extended playing sessions whether rehearsing or performing.

Modern, Organic Design

True to Yamaha’s refined style, the FS400 Acoustic Guitar favours simplicity and tone over decoration. Free from binding or pickguard, its smoky black satin finish gives it a modern edge with an organic, natural feel. Subtle touches like the brown soundhole inlay add quiet sophistication that complements its minimalist appeal.

A rosewood bridge and chrome tuners complete the look, providing tuning stability, strength, and long-lasting durability. Together, these elements make the Yamaha FS400 Smoky Black a beautifully balanced acoustic that sounds as good as it looks.
