The FG heritage extends back to the 1966 release of the
FG180, Yamaha’s first production acoustic guitar. In the more
than half-century since, we have balanced traditional guitar
craft with a spirit of constant refinement, pursuing our vision
of the ideal Yamaha folk guitar.
- 1960s aesthetics and modern craft, refined over 50+ years of
Yamaha guitar development
- The original Yamaha FS concert shape is a good fit for
players who prefer a smaller body, and has a slightly brighter
sound to complement strumming and fingerpicking
- New scalloped FS bracing pattern provides a warm, powerful
tone with rich harmonics
- Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment imparts the
sound and sustain of aged wood
- All-solid construction with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany
back & sides
- Ebony fingerboard & bridge
- Hard bag included
