The truss rod cover is engraved with \"Since 1966,\" signifying the origins of Yamaha guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;SOLID Sitka spruce Top\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe body top is crafted from solid Sitka spruce treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement). This achieves a rich tone that sounds as if the guitar has been played for years, even though it is brand new. The well-balanced sound is ideal for chord strumming or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Solid Mahogany Sides and Back\u0026gt;\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\u0026lt;Cowbone Nut and Saddle\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe nut and saddle are made of cowbone (Grade #5 only). Cowbone is extremely hard, enabling more effective sound transmission from the strings to the neck and body. Installing and adjusting a cowbone nut requires a high level of skill, so each guitar is carefully crafted one by one by skilled guitar craftsmen in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;Proprietary Scalloped Bracing\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAiming to achieve an ideal, warm tone, we have refined this design through a combination of virtual prototyping using the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and physical woodworking prototypes. Compared to the scalloped bracing used in the FG\/FS#800 series, we have optimized it to match the characteristics of the wood itself and the specific models of the FG and FS series, resulting in further expansion of the low-frequency range.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u0026lt;A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) Treatment\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe top panel features Yamaha’s proprietary Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, this process replicates the natural aging changes that occur in wood over a long period after milling within a short timeframe. This enhances sound transmission and vibration efficiency, promoting the extension of mid-to-low frequencies while increasing the attack of high frequencies and accelerating their decay.The A.R.E. treatment produces a well-balanced, mature, and warm sound with minimal harsh overtones, creating a tone reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nMain Specifications\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Type: FG Dreadnought Style\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Length: 505mm\u003cbr\u003e \nBody width (maximum width): 412 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Thickness: 100-118mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale Length: 634 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nOverall Length: 1030 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard width (at nut\/body joint): 44 mm \/ 55 mm\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 \nTuners: Kluson open-gear (Y1D)\u003cbr\u003e \nNut: Cowbone\u003cbr\u003e \nFinish: Body: Gloss \/ Neck: Satin\u003cbr\u003e \nPickup System: None\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Hex wrench, hard case\u003cbr\u003e \n Serial Number: IMJ278A\u003cbr\u003e \n JAN: 4957812702690\u003cbr\u003e \n Accessories: Hard case, Allen wrench, manufacturer's warranty\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSince this item is listed on multiple sites, it may already be sold out on other sites.\u003cbr\u003e \nWe strive to promptly remove product listings once sold, but we sincerely apologize and ask for your understanding if the item happens to be sold out after you place your order.","brand":"YAMAHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49143465279740,"sku":"12-1r9l5ocf6-278a","price":195700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/2247\/6028\/files\/e4213e243da9497baffb3e0db8a3f167_202605287214576.jpg?v=1780038394","url":"https:\/\/intl.ishibashi.co.jp\/ja\/products\/12-1r9l5ocf6-278a","provider":"Ishibashi Music Corporation.
