FG / FS Red Label
FG/FS Red Label Folk Guitar
For Modern Singer Songwriters
Tradition Meets Innovation
Modern Inspiration and Timeless Design
The FG heritage extends back to the 1966 release of the FG180, Yamaha’s first production acoustic guitar. In the more than half-century since, we have balanced traditional guitar craft with a spirit of constant refinement, pursuing our vision of the ideal Yamaha folk guitar.
Features
Classic Style
Inspired by Yamaha’s® iconic “red label” guitars of the 1960s, FG Red Label guitars feature a semi-gloss finish and high-quality components to deliver a beautiful vintage aesthetic.
Powerful Vintage Tone
Custom-treated Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides deliver genuine aged-wood tone and sustain.
A new scalloped bracing pattern offers a louder, more balanced tone.
New Atmosfeel ™ Pickup and Preamp System
Yamaha’s new Atmosfeel three-way pickup system provides a remarkably natural plugged-in sound.
