Allows the airy feel and natural acoustic resonance of the guitar to be faithfully transmitted via line-out.\u003cbr\u003e \nYamaha's original folk body shape offers high playability for players who prefer a compact body. Its well-defined, rich sound is ideal for responsive chord strumming and fingerpicking.\u003cbr\u003e \nUtilizing proprietary scalloped bracing and the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology, we've refined the design to achieve an ideal warm tone and rich low end.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe top features solid Sitka spruce treated with A.R.E. technology, delivering a mature sound reminiscent of years of playing.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe fingerboard, bridge, and bridge pins are crafted from ebony.\u003cbr\u003e \nSet up by skilled technicians, this is a Made in Japan model.\u003cbr\u003e \nHard case included.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n＜Yamaha's Traditional V-Shaped Head＞\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nInherits the original Yamaha FG headstock shape, adorned with a tuning fork-inspired logo. The truss rod cover is engraved with \"Since 1966,\" signifying the origins of Yamaha guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n＜Solid Sitka spruce Top＞\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe body top features A.R.E.-treated solid Sitka spruce. This achieves a rich, resonant tone reminiscent of a well-played guitar, even though it's brand new. The cohesive sound is ideal for chord strumming or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n＜Solid Mahogany for the Sides and Back＞\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSolid mahogany is used for the sides and back. This delivers the warm, rich midrange characteristic of mahogany.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n＜Bone Nut and Saddle＞\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe nut and saddle are made of cow bone (Grade #5 only). Cow bone is extremely hard, enabling more effective sound transmission from the strings to the neck and body. Installing and adjusting a cow bone nut requires high skill; each is meticulously crafted one by one in Japan by skilled guitar craftsmen.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n＜Proprietary Scalloped Bracing＞\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nTo achieve an ideal warm tone, we combine virtual prototyping using the latest acoustic simulation technology with physical woodworking prototypes, refining the design through repeated improvements. Compared to the scalloped bracing used in the FG\/FS#800 series, this bracing is optimized for the inherent characteristics of the wood and tailored to the specific FG and FS models, achieving further enhancement of the low-end response.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n＜A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) Processing＞\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nYamaha's proprietary Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) is applied to the top plate. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, it rapidly induces changes similar to those occurring in wood over many years after cutting. This enhances sound transmission and vibration efficiency, promoting extended mid-to-low frequencies, faster attack of high frequencies, and quicker decay.The A.R.E. treatment yields a well-balanced, mature, warm sound with fewer harsh overtones, creating a tone reminiscent of a guitar played for years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Featuring the Newly Developed \"Atmosfeel\" Pickup System\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe newly developed Atmosfeel 3-Way Pickup System employs three distinct pickups: an under-saddle piezo sensor captures mid-to-low frequencies, a microphone integrated into the preamp handles low frequencies, and a proprietary, ultra-thin contact sensor captures high frequencies, ensuring precise capture across all frequency ranges.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n＜Simple and Highly Operable Controller Section＞\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe Atmosfeel controller section allows for easy tone shaping by blending the pickups with extremely simple operation. The master volume knob adjusts subtle tonal expression, while the mic blend knob adds body resonance. The Bass EQ controller allows adjustment of the peak EQ.\u003cbr\u003e \nIncluded Accessories: Hard Case, Soundhole Cover\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a Grade B special price item, it does not include a manufacturer's warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nProduct Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Style | FS Concert Style\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Length | 497mm\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Width (Maximum) | 380mm\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Thickness | 90-110mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale Length | 634mm\u003cbr\u003e \nOverall Length | 1022mm\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard Width (Nut\/Body Joint) | 44mm\/55mm\u003cbr\u003e \nTop | Solid Sitka spruce A.R.E.\u003cbr\u003e \nBracing Pattern | Scalloped Bracing\u003cbr\u003e \nBack | Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nSides | Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck | African Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard | Ebony\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge | Ebony\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge Saddle | Cow Bone\u003cbr\u003e \nTuning Machines | Kluson Open Gear (Y1D)\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge | Cow Bone\u003cbr\u003e \nFinish | Body Top Gloss \/ Neck Satin\u003cbr\u003e \nPickup System | Atmosfeel SYSTEM74 (Hybrid 3-Way System)\u003cbr\u003e \nController | EQ (Bass)\/Master Volume\/Mic Blend","brand":"YAMAHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48793795789052,"sku":"08-2130000027221","price":198275.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/2247\/6028\/files\/e4213e243da9497baffb3e0db8a3f167_202602186933354.jpg?v=1771405741","url":"https:\/\/intl.ishibashi.co.jp\/ja\/products\/08-2130000027221","provider":"Ishibashi Music Corporation.
