[@GreenManalishiUSA]

I am a big fan of Yamaha guitars, and these new FS Red Label acoustics look and sound great. My experience with Yamaha guitars is that they are workhorses. They are well-designed, solidly-constructed, and if you take good care of them, they will last forever. I own a 1979 Yamaha FG-365S - my first "good" guitar - and a 1974 Martin D-35. While the Martin is in a different league for tone, it has been far more finnicky and in need of more repairs and TLC over the years. The Yamaha FG is my everyday guitar, the one that I keep going back to. I also used to own a 1960s-era Yamaha FS-series that I gave away to a music student. It was wonderfully playable and it had a warm, rich tone, much more than one would expect from a "budget" guitar. I miss that FS. Perhaps for my next birthday, someone will gift me with one of those new FS Red Label models. 🙂

[@johndavies5023]

Just got mine after a six month wait and it is a thing of beauty. Amazing quality for the money and plays like a dream right out of the case. I'd put it up against my Martin any day...and I love that Martin.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Well you’re happy.. that’s all that matters!✌️❤️

[@dionst.michael1482]

Great endorsement. I'm really thinking about pulling the trigger on this bad boy. I've been dreaming about buying a parlour style guitar for about 5 yrs now and I finally have a little doh saved for one. I'm also a fan of quality instruments like Martin and Taylor as well. This sounds like an affordable substitute for a higher end instrument. Not that it's cheap by any measure but prices for quality tone woods is outrageous right now.

The quality control alone shows you just how passionate these folks are about their guitars. Has always been one of the most consistent builders on the market. They seem to take alot of pride in what they sell. And they have been doing some exciting things these past couple of years. Nice to see they are still open to innovation that works. I have nothing but respect for Yamaha guitars.

[@dionst.michael1482]

I'm looking at those FSX5's right now. They're just such a pretty looking little guitar. One look and you can tell it's a quality instrument made with passion. Very understated but still offers all the best a guitar has to offer where it matters the most on an acoustic instrument. Love the fact that it comes with the ebony fretboard and bridge as well. It's attention to detail like that that makes me really respect what Yamaha is offering their customers. You just can't go wrong with a Yamaha acoustic guitar.

I have a lot of faith in both Yamaha guitars and Japanese products in general actually. But definitely have a soft spot for Yamaha acoustic guitars especially because it was my Dad's main guitar for over 40 yrs. That bad boy was something else when he'd hit a nice fat g-run on it. Entertained alot of folks with that guitar. Ive also come to realize that Yamaha acoustic guitars have their own unique sound much like that of other high end builders. You know it when you hear it. From budget friendly right up to their more expensive models, Yamaha guitars just work, plain and simple. They are rarely (if ever) a disappointment. At least that's been my experience ❤

I have an FS800T which is tinted top as well as a FSX5. The FS800 is really good for such an inexpensive laminate made guitar and it seems to be a similar design to the high end FSX5. It has a similar feel. The wood on the FS800 is clearly lower quality but still sounds good. It is also mass produced so the quality of construction does not come close to the FSX5. The latter is hand crafted and has excellent construction. The attention to quality is great. The price is 8 to 10 times the FS800.

I love Takamine master luthier made guitars, its a real shame the big three american companies lobbied to outlaw them from import in the us

@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thats why Im still playing my OLD Takamine TNV340, its the only gear I would never consider selling. Would be nice to get another master luthier made Tak though, they really do such a great job making guitars. If you havent tried one with the Cool Tube preamp and Triax soundhole blended with the palethetic under saddle pickup you should. Its the best plugged in sound you will ever hear. No external processing needed 🙂

Does this have the same rolled edge on the fretboard/neck that the AC3R has?
