These sought-after instruments are cherished for their one-of-a-kind sound and high-end Japanese craftsmanship. Teeming with beautiful vintage aesthetics, the FS Red Label series enables you to experience the very essence of these legendary instruments, thanks to Yamaha’s state-of-the-art wood conditioning techniques and true-to-life vintage sound. All FS Red Label guitars feature classic V-shaped headstocks with Yamaha’s tuning fork logos, solid tonewoods, updated scalloped bracing, and eye-catching gloss finishes. The guitarists at Sweetwater are excited about the FS Red Label series — it more than lives up to the legendary instruments that inspired it.Innovative construction yields a better guitar The great tone and smooth playability of the FS5 Red Label is enhanced by Yamaha's A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) wood torrefaction, which gives your guitar a broken-in and aged tone. By controlling the atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity, the molecular properties of the wood are manipulated to mirror those of a guitar that has been played for years. Each FS Red Label series guitar also features a modified and updated scalloped bracing pattern that exhibits a louder, more balanced tone. Solid spruce top for great tone The choice of top wood can powerfully affect the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the FS5 Red Label, Yamaha chose a premium solid Sitka spruce top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, the top has a well-rounded, articulate sound with excellent projection — and its tone is only made better by Yamaha's A.R.E. wood torrefaction process. The guitar's solid mahogany back and sides provide exceptional bass and powerful punch, and they simply look great.Yamaha FS5 Features: Captures the essence of Yamaha’s iconic Nippon Gakki Red Label guitars from the 1960s Solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides provide rich tone and projection Solid mahogany back and sides provide exceptional bass and powerful punch Sleek Concert body style balances warmth and clarity, comfort and output A.R.E. process "ages" the wood molecules to match the tone of naturally aged guitars Updated scalloped bracing pattern exhibits a louder, more balanced tone Bone nut and saddle supply a loud, clear voice Classic V-shaped headstock with Yamaha’s tuning fork logo Yamaha open-gear tuners Topped off with a modernized, eye-catching gloss finish SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape FS Concert Back & Sides Wood Solid Mahogany Top Wood Solid Sitka Spruce Top Finish Gloss Color Natural Body Bracing Scalloped Bracing Binding Black/Cream Neck Wood African Mahogany Radius 15.75" Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 25" Nut Width 1.75" Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Bone Bridge Material Ebony Tuning Machines Open-gear Strings Elixir Nanoweb 80/20 Light, .012-.053 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
