Yamaha - FG9 M Natural + étui
The FG9 M, the new Folk Acoustic guitar presented at NAMM 2023, combines the traditional skills of Hamamatsu's Japanese luthiers with the latest acoustic research and 3D modelling techniques to bring you a richer tone than ever before. The Dreadnought has an elegant, aesthetic cutaway and is a blend of carefully selected woods, including African mahogany back and sides, solid Adirondack spruce top, mahogany neck and Ebony fingerboard. The body/neck joint is a glued and screwed hybrid assembly, transmitting maximum vibration and ensuring very long sustain.
Presentation
FG9 models feature Adirondack spruce tops with tapered edges, providing excellent structural strength while allowing the body to vibrate more efficiently, a combination that contributes to both power and sensitivity.
The neck features a new structural design that combines precision-fit, screw and glue assembly to increase vibration transmission to the body and improve sustain.
The inlays on the fingerboard resemble traditional Japanese Kumiki woodwork, while the interlacing inlays on the purfling around the rosette are a motif deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
In designing the FG9, state-of-the-art 3D structural and acoustic measurement processes were used to better understand how the physical structure of the instrument affects the acoustic characteristics, and various prototypes were built by the skilled luthiers at Yamaha's Custom workshop.
