The Story

FG5 Acoustic Gloss Natural

This is the newly refreshed FG5 Red Label acoustic guitar from Yamaha with a full gloss finish that showcases the woods used in the construction of the guitar. Referencing Yamaha’s history of over 50 years of guitar building, the Red Label series brings back the looks and tones of Yamahas famous original steel string guitars. This is the Yamaha FG5, a non-electric Folk Guitar built in Japan with appointments that include a solid sitka spruce top with the A.R.E. treatment, solid mahogany back and sides, bone nut and saddle, and ebony fretboard. The FG Red Label has a unique bracing pattern based off of the FG-180 50th Anniversary, enhanced for low-end frequency response without compromising the durability! Sans electronics, the FG5 is fit to be mic'd up in the studio and ready to record your newest song!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
