Key Features
Strong Projection and Clear Top End
The FG9 60th Anniversary Edition delivers outstanding projection with exceptional clarity, making it an ideal partner for vocal accompaniment. Its rich, dynamic response is driven by a hand-selected Adirondack spruce top, thicker back construction, bolt-on neck joint, and other meticulously engineered elements that work together to enhance both power and precision. The result is a voice that is bold yet articulate, responding effortlessly to subtle nuance and confident strumming alike.
Guatemalan Rosewood: Tone and Beauty in Harmony
Guatemalan rosewood back and sides offer a refined balance of sonic depth and visual elegance. Rich, resonant lows are complemented by sparkling highs, while naturally varied grain patterns lend each instrument a unique character—both sonically and aesthetically.
Elegant, Understated Japanese Aesthetic
Distinctive design details give the FG9 a refined and individual presence. The inner label is crafted from traditional washi paper, while the rosette features rope-shaped inlays and purfling inspired by classic Japanese motifs. Fingerboard inlays draw from Kumiki woodworking, reflecting the precision, harmony, and beauty of Japanese craftsmanship.
