Dave’s Dream
in Black and White

Generations of professional and amateur
musicians remember—and still use—their first
Yamaha FG. Now, Yamaha has found a way to
apply innovative techniques developed for its high-
end L-Series handcrafted models to improve tone
and playability while maintaining outstanding
value. The result: 15 exciting new
FG guitars.
Each new model features an inverted
L-block which creates a deeper low end and a
tighter body-neck connection. Additionally, solid
spruce tops, die-cast chrome hardware, and
unique non-scalloped bracing help these new FG
guitars build on the longevity and legendary status
of the originals.
