Solid Adirondack spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides
These are the woods specified for the FS9 Rosewood's warm, balanced response, shimmering highs, and pronounced lows.

Independent shopping perspective
The FS9 Rosewood is a right-handed concert-style acoustic built with a solid Adirondack spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. Yamaha describes its voice as warm and balanced, with shimmering highs, pronounced lows, strong projection, and a resonant response. Scalloped Adirondack X bracing supports the top's responsiveness, while the modified V neck, ebony fingerboard, and 25-inch scale give the guitar its stated playing layout. Bone nut and saddle, an ebony bridge, and a natural gloss nitrocellulose finish complete the build.
