Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing
A new FG has louder and
stronger sound in the low- to mid-ranges, thanks to cutting-edge
acoustic analysis technology developed by the Yamaha R&D Division.
Yamaha’s
engineers have achieved this sound by utilizing analysis and simulation
to arrive at the best bracing design without depending on tradition or
guesswork.
This analysis led to the development of the new
scalloped bracing pattern, a new and ideal acoustic structure that
maintains the durability of the top board while bringing out the most
sound the Yamaha FG has to offer.
50 Years of History
The
history of Yamaha‘s FG series started in 1966 with the release of the
FG180 and FG150. Over the 50 years since its introduction, we have
developed and produced several generations of FG - all of which have
made FG the ideal acoustic for contemporary players.
In all, there have been over 200 FG models since 1966.
Made in Yamaha
Every
aspect of an FG is crafted to make a better guitar. From painstakingly
cured and dried woods to beautiful hand-sprayed finishes and detailed
quality control checks each and every FG is made to be a lifelong
partner.

Comfort and Creativity
The
FS model body is 10mm slimmer than that of the FG body, offering
increased comfort and playability with no loss of volume or bass. Having
a body that is easier to hold makes the FS more appealing to beginners
and smaller guitarists, including female players. In addition, the
smaller dimensions and lower propensity to feedback make FS guitars
ideal for stage use.
