Yamaha 60th Anniversary FG9 Acoustic Guitar – Preorder

Elegant, Understated Japanese Aesthetic – The Yamaha 60th Anniversary FG9 Acoustic Guitar

The FG9 60th Anniversary Edition delivers outstanding projection with exceptional clarity and articulate tone – the perfect accompaniment to vocals. This rich, dynamic response is shaped by an Adirondack spruce top, thicker back board, bolt-on neck joint, and other carefully engineered elements that enhance both power and precision.

Celebrating six decades of acoustic expertise, the FG9 60th Anniversary Edition represents the pinnacle of the Yamaha legacy so far. Fusing refined craftsmanship and innovative design, it captures the essence of what has made Yamaha guitars trusted by generations of players.

Distinctive design details give the FG9 a refined and individual character. The inner label is made from traditional washi paper, while the rosette features rope-shaped inlays and purfling inspired by Japanese motifs. Fingerboard inlays draw from kumiki woodworking, evoking the precision and beauty of Japanese craftsmanship.
