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
