Yamaha FG's original head shape features a tuning fork logo. The truss rod cover is engraved with "Since 1966," which indicates the origin of Yamaha guitars.
Top adopts Sitka spruce veneer with A.R.E. Although it is new, it has a rich sound as if it had been played for many years, and a powerful sound with a warm mid-low range that is unique to mahogany. The cohesive sound is great for chord strokes or rhythmic fingerstyle playing.
Solid mahogany is used for Side/Back. Realizes a warm and rich midrange unique to mahogany.
Aiming to obtain the ideal warm tone, we have made repeated improvements by combining pseudo-prototypes that make full use of the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology and prototypes that are made with wood. The scalloped bracing used in the FG/FS#800 series has been optimized according to the characteristics of the wood itself and the same type of FG and FS, realizing further expansion of the low range.
Yamaha's original Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) is applied to the front plate. By controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure with high precision, changes similar to those of lumber that have been lumbered for a long time are produced in a short period of time. Realization of acceleration, increase in rise of treble components, and speeding up of attenuation. A.R.E. processing produces a mature, warm sound that is well-balanced and free of harsh overtones, making it sound like a guitar that has been playing for years.
