The Yamaha FG5 Red Label acoustic recalls the company’s now-legendary 1960s-era Nippon Gakki Red Label acoustic instrument. That said, it’s been retooled to meet the demands of modern guitarists. A solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany body yield maximum resonance and tone, which are further enhanced by Yamaha’s A.R.E. wood torrefaction process. Updated scalloped bracing ensures a louder, more balanced tone. What’s more, a bone nut and saddle augment the guitar’s tone, giving it a loud, clear voice. Finally, a classic V-shape headstock and a modernized, eye-catching gloss finish complete the Yamaha FG5 Red Label acoustic.
