＜The front board is made of Sitka spruce veneer.
Top is made of A.R.E.-treated Sitka spruce veneer. The top is made of A.R.E.-treated Sitka spruce veneer. Although it is new, it has a rich sound as if it has been played for many years, and the warm mid-low frequency range of mahogany wood produces a powerful sound. The cohesive sound is ideal for chord strokes and rhythmic fingerstyle playing.

<Cow bone upper and lower bridge pieces
The upper and lower bridge pawns are made of cow bone (#5 grade only). Cow bone is extremely hard and provides more effective sound transmission from the strings to the neck and body. The installation and adjustment of the ox bone nut requires a high level of skill, and each guitar is carefully crafted in Japan by skilled guitar craftsmen.

<Newly developed scalloped bracing
The scalloped bracing used on the FG/FS#800 series has been improved through a combination of pseudo prototyping using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and prototyping by wood craftsmen. The new scalloped bracing has been optimized to match the characteristics of the wood itself and the FG and FS models, and has realized further expansion of the low frequency range.

＜Equipped with the newly developed "Atmosfeel" pickup system.
The newly developed Atmosfeel 3-way pickup system consists of three different pickups that reliably capture each frequency range: a piezo sensor in the under-saddle captures the mid-low range, a microphone in the preamp captures the low range, and a proprietary, extremely thin contact sensor captures the high range. By adding a contact sensor made of thin and durable piezoelectric synthetic paper inside (near the back of the bridge), we were able to reproduce the cohesiveness of string vibrations coming out of the soundhole, the lingering sound of each string, the touch feeling when fingering, and the airy and delicate sound brought by the overtone components in the upper register that conventional pickups could not pick up. and delicate sound. The sound of a live acoustic guitar is reproduced as it is in the line out.
