Acostic Guitar Yamaha FG850 Mahogany

Yamaha's new FG series guitars have higher and stronger bass-to-midrange sound thanks to state-of-the-art acoustic analysis technology developed by the Yamaha R & D department. Yamaha engineers have achieved this sound using analysis and simulation to achieve the best bracing design without being dependent on tradition or chance. This analysis has led to the development of the new scalloped bracing pattern, a new and ideal acoustic structure that maintains the durability of the top plate while powering the best of the sound that Yamaha FG has to offer.

The history of the Yamaha FG series began in 1966 with the introduction of the FG180 and FG150. 50 years after its debut, Yamaha has developed and produced several generations of FG - all carrying the acoustic ideal FG for its contemporary musicians. In all, there have been 200 FG models since 1966.

All aspects of a Yamaha FG series guitar are crafted to create a superior guitar. From the exhaustive treatment and drying of the woods to the dazzling hand-made finishes to the quality control process, each FG is built to last a lifetime.
