Yamaha Acoustic Guitar Flagship "FG9" Now Available
Yamaha L-island Platinum Dealer

A gem that is not only a pleasure to play, but also a pleasure to own.

It gives you a sense of the depth of sound. The Adirondack spruce top and rosewood sides and back give the guitar typical dynamics, but it sounds supple and not guttural. There is ample volume, but the bass is not overly boomy, and as the concept suggests, it accompanies the song.

It also has a thick core and sustain, making single-note lead guitar work enjoyable. Like the FG9 M, it is a guitar that should not be used only for singing accompaniment. If you were to form an acoustic guitar duo, the lead singer would ideally use the FG9M and the lead guitarist would use the FG9 R.

The careful craftsmanship of the FG9M and the FG9 R is typical of the craftsmanship of made-in-Japan guitars. It is a gem that is not only a pleasure to play, but also a pleasure to hold.

The flagship model FG9, handmade in Japan, is an acoustic guitar with a very rich volume, clear sound, and a wide range of expressiveness that responds to the player's playing style, making it an ideal instrument for singer-songwriters.

The front board is made of Adirondack spruce, a rare wood that is hard and light. The backboard has been thickened to enhance its performance as a reflector, thereby strengthening the acoustic radiation originating from the frontboard. At the neck-body joint, the neck and body are bolted on in a structure that moderately separates the neck and body, and the design concentrates the vibration energy of the strings and body on the body. This design achieves both the "quick rise and powerful volume" required of the dreadnought style and the "clarity" that is the hallmark of Yamaha acoustic guitar guitars.

The inner label visible through the soundhole is made of Japanese paper, the position marks are designed to evoke Kumiki work, and the soundhole and body line are decorated with rope inlays and rope binding reminiscent of a traditional Japanese sacred rope.

The "FG9R" is made of Indian rosewood, which produces a deep, rich bass and extended treble. The "FG9M" is made of African mahogany, which enhances the FG's traditional mid-bass and produces a light, crisp tone. In addition to a wider range of expressiveness regardless of which model is chosen, two types of wood are used for the side and backboards to achieve two different sound characters.
