FG/FS Red Label Series
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, the first production acoustic guitar by Yamaha. 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 folk guitar.
Features
Powerful Vintage Tone
A custom-treated, Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides deliver genuine aged-wood tone and sustain.
A scalloped bracing pattern offers louder, more balanced tone.
Classic Style
Inspired by the iconic Yamaha "red label" guitars of the 1960s, FG Red Label guitars feature a semigloss finish and high-quality components to deliver a beautiful, vintage aesthetic.
New Atmosfeel™ Pickup and Preamp System
The Yamaha Atmosfeel™ three-way pickup system provides a remarkably natural plugged-in sound.
