Each model features a solid Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck, Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and high-grade chrome tuners. The FG502 has a solid Spruce top for a traditional full-bodied tone, while the FG502M's top is constructed of solid Mahogany, a premium wood known for its mellow richness. Dreadnought body shapes deliver a blend of volume, power, and timbral balance that most players demand. Both models will be available in March 2001.
