Yamaha is expanding the FG9/FS9 Series with the new FG9 X and FS9 X launch. These guitars bring an acoustic-electric twist to the acclaimed steel-string lineup. Equipped with an Atmosfeel™ three-element pickup and preamp system, the new guitars deliver a pure, natural acoustic sound when amplified—a unique combination that sets them apart from other instruments in their class.
Ideal for singer-songwriters and accompaniment players who seek expressiveness in both their voice and instrument, the new FG9 X and FS9 X guitars—which are available now—feature solid Adirondack spruce tops paired with your choice of solid Indian rosewood or solid African mahogany back and sides.
Key features of the new lineup include:
Unique Combination of Powerful Projection and Exceptional Clarity
A distinctive combination of clear top end and strong projection, which make the guitars ideal for singer-songwriters. This was achieved by cutting-edge scientific approach, including a 3D structural measurement process to fully understand how physical structure affects acoustic characteristics, integrated with Luthier techniques.
Innovative Atmosfeel™ Pickup System
The Atmosfeel™ pickup system uses a piezo sensor in the bridge to capture low frequencies, a microphone for low and midrange, and Yamaha proprietary contact sensor made by a thin synthetic sheet for high frequencies. The result is a full, natural sound with simple controls that make it easy to get unmatched plugged-in tone.
Adirondack Spruce Tops with Tapered EdgesElegant, Understated Japanese Aesthetic
The distinctive fingerboard inlays resemble traditional Japanese Kumiki woodworking, while the rope-shaped inlay and purfling on the rosette is a motif that is deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
