Yamaha FG9 Limited Edition 60th Anniversary Acoustic Guitar (FG-9)

In the midst of the folk boom of the 1960s, 6-string history was forever changed with the arrival of Yamaha’s FG series of steel-string acoustic guitars. The Yamaha 60th Anniversary pays homage to that pivotal moment, upgrading the brand’s top-of-the-line FG9 model with treasure-grade tonewoods. This ultra-premium, Japanese-made acoustic guitar’s Adirondack spruce top and scalloped X-bracing start things off with a booming projection and touch-sensitive dynamics — there’s a good reason why this timber has stood as the king of all 6-string top woods for well over a century. Around back, a set of dazzling Guatemalan rosewood back and sides tempers the top’s sheer power with dense harmonic overtones and superb top-end definition. What’s more, the 60th Anniversary FG9 honors the legendary dreadnoughts of yore with its wooden rope purfling, while the body’s ebony binding matches the jet-black vibe of the matching ebony fingerboard. You also get top-quality Gotoh SXN510 tuning machines to retain rock-solid tuning stability, a comfortable mahogany neck, Yamaha’s cutting-edge bolt-on neck system, and Kumiki-inspired fingerboard inlays. It all adds up to a truly heirloom-level instrument that’s inspired by Yamaha’s illustrious past yet not afraid to push the boundaries of modern acoustic artistry.
