YAMAHA / FG9 R Rosewood Side/Back [Made in Japan//real image]

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

It gives you a sense of depth of sound. The Adirondack spruce top and rosewood sides and back give the guitar dynamics that are typical of guitars, but the sound is supple and not overpowering. 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" characteristic of Yamaha's acoustic guitars. The inner label, visible through the soundhole, is made of a Japanese traditional lacquer.

The inner label, visible through the soundhole, is made of Japanese paper, and the position marks are made of fine Kumiki wood. The soundhole and body line are decorated with rope inlays and rope binding reminiscent of traditional Japanese sacred ropes.

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 traditional FG mid-bass and produces a light and crisp sound. The "FG9M" is made of African mahogany, which enhances the traditional mid-bass tone of the FG, and also produces a light and crisp sound. The "FG9M" is made of African mahogany, which enhances the traditional mid-bass tone of FG. Whichever model you choose, you will be able to express yourself in a wide range of ways. In addition to the wider range of expression, the use of two different types of wood for the side and backboards allows for two different sound characters.
