FG/FS7 Series

Crafted in Japan. Built to Perform.

The FG/FS7 is the guitar serious players can't live without. Crafted in Japan with the same design philosophy as our flagship FG/FS9, it delivers the tone, response and playability that rewards every hour you've put in.

Powerful Projection and Clarity

The guitar delivers outstanding projection with exceptional clarity and articulate tone, making it an ideal companion for singer-songwriters . This sound is brought to life by features including an optimal scalloped X‑bracing pattern for the Sitka spruce top and a reinforced back, realized through a unique “Acoustic Design” development approach that unites scientific analysis with skilled craftsmanship.

  • The backside of the FG7's top board. A bracing structure, created through extensive research, is laid out to deliver the ideal sound.

  • A Yamaha acoustic guitar builder is carving top braces on a workbench.

Understated Traditional Japanese Aesthetic

Traditional Japanese aesthetics add a touch of refined and unique character with subtle grace. The inner label is made from traditional washi paper, while the rosette features rope‑shaped inlays inspired by classic Japanese motifs. Fingerboard inlays draw from ancient Kumiki woodworking methods, reflecting the meticulous artistry of Japanese craftsmanship.

Atmosfeel™ Pickup System for Naturally Amplified Sound

Acoustic-electric models are equipped with the Atmosfeel pickup system. The system combines a piezo sensor in the bridge for low frequencies, a microphone for low and midrange frequencies, and our proprietary contact sensor for high frequencies. The result is a full, natural sound with remarkable definition, controlled by simple settings that preserve the guitar's authentic voice.

Two Body Styles, Two Tonewood Voices

With a choice of body shapes and tonewood combinations, the FG/FS7 Series ensures every player can find a guitar that complements their style and brings out their desired tone.

Two body shapes are available: the dreadnought-style FG and the concert-style FS. The FG’s larger, broader body responds superbly to strumming, delivering powerful low frequencies and strong projection, while the smaller FS body delivers a balanced tone with a responsive feel that brings out delicate, detailed arpeggios.

For back and sides, players can choose between solid Indian rosewood, which produces full lows and rich harmonics, and solid African mahogany, known for its warm midrange and rounded overtones.
