FG9 Acoustic Steel-String GuitarAcoustic Artistry

Handcrafted in Japan, the extraordinary projection, clarity and responsiveness of our flagship FG/FS9 steel-string acoustic guitars make them ideal instruments for singer-songwriters.

Strong Projection and Clear Top End

The FG/FS9 models deliver outstanding projection while providing exceptional clarity and detailed articulation—a unique combination especially suited for accompanying vocals.

Adirondack Spruce Tops with Tapered Edges

FG/FS9 models feature Adirondack spruce top boards with tapered edges, providing structural strength while allowing the body to vibrate more efficiently—a combination that contributes to both power and sensitivity.

Bolt-On Neck Joint

The neck has a new structural design that combines bolt-on and glued construction to increase body vibration and improve maintainability. Neck and body joints are finished and adjusted with high precision.

Scientific Approach Integrated with Luthier Techniques

When designing the FG/FS9 models, we employed cutting-edge acoustic and 3D-structural measurement processes to more fully understand how physical structure affects acoustic characteristics. Repeated prototypes were built by our custom shop’s skilled luthiers.

Handcrafted in Japan, the FG9 M steel-string acoustic guitar features an Adirondack spruce top and African mahogany back and sides—and its extraordinary projection and clarity, even under the hardest strumming, makes it ideal for singer-songwriters.
