Yamaha FGX5 Red Label Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Solid Sitka Spruce, Made in Japan
The Yamaha FGX5 Red Label combines modern acoustic innovation with the timeless appeal of 1960s design. Handcrafted in Japan, this dreadnought-style guitar features all-solid tonewoods, a gloss finish, and subtle vintage details, making it a standout for discerning players. The solid Sitka spruce top has undergone Yamaha’s exclusive A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment, giving it the mature tone and sustain of aged wood from day one. Mahogany back and sides deliver warm, focused tone with strong midrange response.

Perfect for stage and studio, the FGX5 is equipped with Yamaha’s Atmosfeel™ 3-way pickup and preamp system. This intelligent setup blends piezo, mic, and transducer elements for natural, dynamic plugged-in tone with simple, intuitive control. Whether you're strumming or flatpicking, the FGX5 delivers a bold, balanced sound that’s ready to shine anywhere.
