Yamaha FXS5 Red Label Guitar Made In Japan

[@richardlucascronley5128]

Jarvis! It’s good to see you still making videos! I used to watch your videos all the time, about 8 years ago. You did comparisons between the j45 and d18.. I’m glad you’re still doing these videos

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@richardlucascronley5128 i have been busy the last two years the number of videos done have almost dropped but i’m trying to build and take more videos as more content should be churn out

[@richardlucascronley5128]

@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore I’d love to see you review the J45 standard soon!

I think this vid just convinced me to grab one of these from ver a LL16D, Sounds nice and warm and easy yo listen to Thank you 🙏

That fingerstyle with capo was beautiful! This guitar is just the best.....

[@andreaschristo1204]

The FSX5 was my first "nice" guitar and it did not disappoint. Thanks for doing it some justice!

[@KI_Burgberg_DE]

I also like Yamaha Guitars, but even more I love to hear you playing.

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@KI_Burgberg_DE thanks for your kind words and keep tuning in ..

[@rickycarter7154]

Hi Jarvis, I acquired the fsx5 because of the sweet tone and the pick-up system. It is a great performance instrument that sounds as good on stage as most big dreadnought guitars, but easier to handle and carry. Way to go Yamaha.

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@rickycarter7154 congrats ricky .. it’s a great one you have there

[@lhvent]

I have an LS6 that has a similar shape. This one is quite nice. The Yamaha engineering is amazing, and so precise.

[@pjhughes3678]

Brilliant stuff again from the Guitar Spa. Love the life philosophy and your song 🎸 great stuff 👍👍

[@kepakemapa0568]

Absolutely amazing sounding with remarkable playability. One of the most impressive guitars I have owned/played in my 45 years of guitar-ing!

[@joibjalla]

I love my FS5 and my FG5. That vintage boomy growl sound is so awesome.

[@RexRobbins1]

Good to see you again, brother.

[@lhvent]

My Yamaha FG830 and LL6M A.R.E. are so nice, even with laminate back and sides. How Yamaha makes their laminates is quite good.

[@happytrails1963]

Thanks for video! Awesome guitar and amazing value. Its maybe possible that I need made in japan red label.

[@theguitarschoolproject3785]

Awesome review and demo Man. That long sleeve looks good on you too 🙂

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@theguitarschoolproject3785 thanks man .. i came back with that shirt so didn’t want to change

[@DavidJosephBoth]

I think i prefer the tone of the fxs5 more than the fs9!!! And that is a pricey guitar vs their more affordable. I'd like to see a shootout of this against higher end yamaha acoustics.

[@czorr1997]

Missed you friend! great sounding small body.

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@czorr1997 don’t worry i’m doing well

[@Greg-l6j]

This sounds better than the Taylor 314. Did Yamaha stop making this guitar with the introduction of the FS9M. You can no longer buy it anywhere?

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@Greg-l6j it’s still in production and sold out most of the time

[@sramsdellwdm]

I want this guitar. Not one like it. This actual guitar. Man this thing is a cannon.

[@cugir321]

I just heard a AC1m for about 500.00 that kicked the ass of the higher level versions. Sounds similiar to the FXS5

[@seowyenphua7169]

Hi Javis, nice to see you back. You have been MIA for too long. This FSX5 sings and tells a story, I am so tempted to get my hands on one...

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@seowyenphua7169 it’s a great sounding one and well made

[@RexRobbins1]

Keep on “Cruising”.

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

yes yeah !! rock on

[@todi1983]

@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore "This is how I fight my battles", sounds beautiful. Your own composition?

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@todi1983 nope …

[@smandez2023]

Imagine if Jarvis got a low taper faaaaade! Just kidding brother, your hair looks great like that and I love your videos man. So contagious and good! This is how I fight my battles 🎶 This is how I FIGHT MY BATTLES! 🎵! I played one of these at a local shop and it truly is a phenomenal guitar in every way. It was turning heads in the shop as I played it!🎶 (and I think it is more the guitar than the player 😜)

[@Lesnar161]

Are those yamaha guitars's string gap good for fingerstyle??

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@Lesnar161 yes it’s comfortable

[@daniel9842]

How does this model compare with the ls26?

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@daniel9842 well LS26 will have a clear trebles and brighter tone with a balance bass … this FS5 is scalloped so more airy bass and less clear on the trebles

[@daniel9842]

@TheGuitarSpaSingapore Thanks for replying. I've wanted to buy the ls26 for years now, but unfortunately, it's not available in my country. I was wondering if the ls5 is a good substitute? It costs more than $2000, though

[@aleksandrkuzmin1980]

I am thinking what guitar to buy, Gibson or Martin😂, and after this I am confused😂 at shop I just tried Chinees version and it is good too.😊😅

[@RRW276]

You have a fantastic head of hair my friend. I haven’t been so lucky as I collect years 😊. Anyway, you can’t ever go wrong with a Yamaha and I love my old ones. However, these remade red labels have all sounded so good!! I’ve only tested one and it felt great! Felt better than the sticky finish on my beloved guitars.

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

Oh thank you!

[@TheGuitarSpaSingapore]

@@RRW276 Hair .. i do spray hair tonic to ensure it grows , using good shampoo to keep the scalp clean and a good hairdressing which suggests a lot of my hairstyle . i visit him every 2-3 weeks for a trim
