Inspired by Yamaha's iconic 'red label' guitars of the 1960s, the new FS (Smaller Body) Red Label folk models blend modern inspiration with a timeless design. Featuring a classic semi-gloss finish and high-quality components, FS Red Label guitars capture an authentic vintage aesthetic. The mahogany back and sides are paired with a premium Sitka spruce top which has been treated with Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement ('ARE') process for genuine aged-wood tone and sustain. A new scalloped-bracing design delivers plenty of volume, while the groundbreaking Atmosfeel three-way pickup system provides a natural acoustic sound when amplified. The new Yamaha FSX3 Red Label guitar sounds and feels like you've been playing it for years - right from the very first note.
