Classic Style
Inspired by Yamaha’s® iconic “red label” guitars of the 1960s, FG Red Label guitars feature a semi-gloss finish and high-quality components to deliver a beautiful vintage aesthetic.
Powerful Vintage Tone
Custom-treated Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides deliver genuine aged-wood tone and sustain.
A new scalloped bracing pattern offers a louder, more balanced tone.
New Atmosfeel ™ Pickup and Preamp System
Yamaha’s new Atmosfeel three-way pickup system provides a remarkably natural plugged-in sound.
Classic V Shape Headstock
The guitar retains the original FG headstock shape, adorned with the iconic “Tuning Fork” logo. The traditional truss rod cover is mblazoned with “Since 1966” to mark the launch of the first FG models.
