The original headstock shape of the Yamaha FG features a logo modeled after a tuning fork. The truss rod cover is engraved with "Since 1966," signifying the origins of Yamaha guitars.

The top is made of solid Sitka spruce treated with A.R.E. Despite being brand new, it delivers a rich tone reminiscent of a well-played instrument, combined with a powerful resonance driven by the warm mid-to-low frequencies characteristic of mahogany. This well-balanced sound is ideal for chord strumming or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.

Solid mahogany is used for the sides and back, delivering the warm, rich midrange characteristic of mahogany.

In pursuit of an ideal warm tone, we have refined the design through a combination of virtual prototyping using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and physical prototypes crafted by hand. Compared to the scalloped bracing used in the FG/FS#800 series, we have optimized the bracing to match the characteristics of the wood itself and the specific models of the FG and FS series, achieving further expansion of the low-frequency response.

The newly developed Atmosfeel 3-way pickup system features three distinct pickups that reliably capture each frequency range: an under-saddle piezo sensor for the mid-low range, a microphone built into the preamp for the low range, and a proprietary ultra-thin contact sensor for the high range. By adding a contact sensor made of thin, durable piezoelectric synthetic paper inside the instrument (near the back of the bridge), the system reproduces the cohesion of string vibrations emanating from the soundhole—which conventional pickups could not fully capture—as well as the sustain of each individual string, the tactile sensation of fingering, and the airy, delicate tones produced by high-frequency harmonics.
