Yamaha Red Label FG5 Acoustic Guitar, Semigloss Natural

Solid Sitka spruce and mahogany body with ebony fingerboard, scalloped FG bracing, A.R.E. heat-treated tonewoods, and hardshell case included Item ID: FG5

Description

The Yamaha FG5 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar captures the spirit of 1960s folk acoustics with updated precision and tonal refinement. Designed and built in Japan, this all-solid model features a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, providing a focused low end and harmonic depth that suits aggressive strumming or articulate flatpicking alike.

Internally, the guitar incorporates scalloped bracing that enhances bass response and projection while maintaining clarity across the tonal range. Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment helps the top resonate like aged tonewood, promoting greater sustain and a broken-in character right out of the case.

Playability is elevated by a matte-finished neck that contrasts the semi-gloss body for smoother movement. Premium appointments include an ebony fingerboard, ebony bridge and pins, plus a bone nut and saddle for enhanced articulation and note separation.

Includes a hardshell case.
