Features
Strong Projection and Clear Top End
The FG/FS9 models deliver the outstanding projection, while providing exceptional clarity and detailed articulation—a unique combination specially suited for accompanying vocals.
Adirondack Spruce Tops with Tapered Edges
FG/FS9 models feature Adirondack spruce top boards with tapered edges, providing structural strength while allowing the body to vibrate more efficiently—a combination that contributes to both power and sensitivity.
Bolt-On Neck Joint
The neck has a new structural design that combines bolt-on and glued construction to increase body vibration and improve maintainability. Neck and body joints are finished and adjusted with high precision.
Scientific Approach Integrated with Luthier Techniques
When designing the FG/FS9 models, we employed cutting-edge acoustic and 3D-structural measurement processes to more fully understand how physical structure affects acoustic characteristics. Repeated prototypes were built by our custom shop’s skilled luthiers.
