What we say:
At A Glance
The Yamaha FG5 Acoustic Red Label has been crafted in Japan and ticks a lot of boxes. It keeps the well-loved traditional look of the 1960s but makes use of many modern features such as a new bracing pattern and Yamaha's A.R.E. treatment which adds tonal qualities similar to that of aged wood. Whether you are fingerpicking or strumming, this is a beautifully made solid wood acoustic that can elevate your performance and is a joy to play and hear.
Features We Love:
Traditional Western Body
The Traditional Western body shape is similar to the popular Dreadnought shape. Loved for its bold and rich tone, large size, and loud volume, the Traditional Western is highly regarded for its versatility.
Solid Spruce Top
Spruce is one the most common tonewoods used for acoustic guitars and is loved for its crisp sound that brings clarity and detail to your playing. It also pairs wonderfully here with the solid mahogany back and sides.
Scalloped Bracing
Part of this guitars magic is down to the FG Scalloped Bracing used in its construction. The result is an acoustic guitar that is robust and reliable, without compromising the flexibility of the top wood, giving the guitar a better bass response and a rich and resonant character.
Who Is It For?
Acoustic players who appreciate the finer details of a high quality instrument and are looking to take their playing to the next level.
Highlights:
- Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) adds a vintage tonal flavour
- Crafted in Japan to very high standards
- An incredible natural tone
- Solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back & sides
