Description
Handcrafted in Japan, the flagship FG9 R dreadnought steel-string acoustic guitar features an Adirondack spruce top complemented by Indian rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany neck. It produces deep warm lows and clear sparkling highs—and its extraordinary projection, clarity, and responsiveness to playing dynamics make it an ideal instrument for singer-songwriters. Cutting-edge acoustic measurement and 3D structural measurement processes were employed while designing the FG9 R, a level of scientific measurement and analysis unique to Yamaha. Deluxe appointments and traditional Japanese aesthetic details such as a rope rosette ensure that the guitar is as inspiring to behold as it is to play.
