ACOUSTIC: DREADNOUGHT (DW) SERIES

Yamaha produced the DW Series as an all-dreadnought all solid-top series that was marketed as higher quality than the FG Series. There were three distinct series of these guitars, but the features remained very similar. The first series was produced between 1996 and 1998 (DW-4S, DW-5S, DW-103E, and DW-105), the second series was produced between 1999 and 2002 (DW6, DW8, DW10, and DW20), and the third series was produced between 2005 and 2007 (DW7, DW9, and DW15).
