Handcrafted in Japan, this is the latest FG design from Yamaha Guitars: introducing the FG9 MX Mahogany with Yamaha's well-loved Atmosfeel electronics system! This is a top of the line acoustic guitar designed to be a professional level instrument for players of all types. Yamahas design team and luthiers left no stone unturned in making this one of the nicest guitars they have ever created, and we love the result! The FG9 R is built with an Adirondack spruce top paired with African mahogany back and sides, a unique 1-piece bolt-on mahogany neck, and an ebony fretboard. The guitar has subtle yet meaningful Japanese aesthetics that pay tribute to Yamahas history and heritage. <br><br>The fretboard inlays are Kumiki (Japanese wooden puzzle) inspired bars of lightly colored wood, with a Japanese tied rope soundhole rosette and matching top inlay bordering the spruce. A washi paper interior label is seen on the inside of the body, and there's a matching washi paper certificate of authenticity included with each FG9.
<br><br>Yamaha's Atmosfeel electronics system is a complex acoustic pickup designed with three different types of pickups within the guitar to get you the most accurate representation of your acoustic tone possible .Atmostfeel uses a piezo sensor in the bridge to capture low frequencies, a contact sensor made of a thin synthetic sheet on the lower half of the body behind the bridge for high frequencies and a microphone for low and midrange located on within the upper bass bout. The result is a full and natural sound with three simple controls that let you quickly dial in the sound you're after. If you're a professional songwriter or recording guitarist who wants a top-tier FG in their collection, we can't recommend the FG9 enough.
