Featuring an Adirondack spruce top, the Yamaha FG9 M (African mahogany) and FG9 R (Indian rosewood) both feature an Adirondack spruce top, complemented by a mahogany neck—plus your choice of either African mahogany back and sides for strong fundamental frequencies and enhanced midrange; or, Indian rosewood for warm lows and clear, sparkling highs—both models produce extraordinary projection, clarity, and responsiveness to playing dynamics, making them ideal instruments for singer-songwriters.

The new Yamaha FG9 M and FG9 R dreadnoughts were designed using cutting-edge acoustic measurement, as well as 3D structural measurement processes—a level of scientific measurement and analysis unique to Yamaha’s acoustic design processes.

These instruments also boast deluxe appointments and traditional Japanese aesthetic details, including the rope rosette, ensuring these guitars are as inspiring to behold as they are to play!

It may not be the first thing you see when you walk into Chicago Music Exchange but, tucked in the back corner of our store—past the counter, the wall of Les Pauls, and the Gibson thinlines on the left—you’ll find a pair of French doors that open up to our Acoustic Room. Walk in and you’ll find yourself a humidity-/temperature-controlled room, which is essentially a walk-in humidor full of all the six-string (at times, 12-string) acoustic instruments we have, from the most sought-after brands our customers love and are always looking for—all of which can be perused at a glance with one swivel of the head.
