Yamaha FS9 MX Spruce/Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural [HARDSHELL CASE]

The FS9 MX concert-style acoustic guitar with Atmosfeel pickup system is for singer-songwriters with uncompromising standards. With top-tier craftsmanship, the combination of an Adirondack spruce top and African mahogany back and sides offers outstanding projection and incredible clarity.

The neck has a new structural design that combines bolt-on and glued construction to increase body vibration and improve maintainability. The distinctive fingerboard inlays resemble traditional Japanese Kumiki woodworking, while the rope-shaped inlay and purfling on the rosette is a motif deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
