Yamaha Red Label Series FGX5 GL Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, Gloss Natural

Manufacturer’s Description

The FGX5 dreadnought-style acoustic guitar with built-in pickup system delivers a full, punchy low end, well-suited for strumming and flatpicking. Modern craftsmanship complements its 1960s aesthetics, and superior Yamaha build quality is showcased under a beautiful gloss finish. The Atmosfeel™ pickup faithfully reproduces the guitar’s character onstage.

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.

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 a louder, more balanced tone.

Classic Style

Inspired by the iconic Yamaha “red label” guitars of the 1960s, FG/FS Red Label guitars feature high-quality components to deliver a beautiful, vintage aesthetic.
