Handcrafted in Japan, the FG9 R steel-string acoustic guitar features an Adirondack spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. Its extraordinary projection and clarity, even under the hardest strumming, make it ideal for singer-songwriters.
The dreadnought-style body responds superbly to strumming, with powerful lows and projective tones.
