Yamaha FGX3 Red Label

Description

The Yamaha FGX3 Red Label is a modern revival of the iconic 1960s FG series — built for players who want the warmth, power, and vintage character of an aged acoustic with the refinement of today’s engineering. With its all-solid Sitka spruce and mahogany construction, A.R.E. wood treatment, scalloped FG bracing, and Atmosfeel™ pickup system, the FGX3 delivers a soulful, played-in tone from day one and an unbelievably natural plugged-in sound on stage.

This is Yamaha’s folk heritage reimagined for the contemporary guitarist — warm, expressive, dynamic, and crafted for serious performance.
