Description
YAMAHA FGX5 Red Label Acoustic Electric
The Yamaha FGX5 Red Label is a premium Japanese-made acoustic-electric that pays homage to Yamaha’s iconic late-1960s FG series while delivering modern performance for today’s players. Featuring a classic FG dreadnought body shape, the FGX5 offers powerful projection, deep lows, and clear articulation—perfect for strumming, flatpicking, and singer-songwriters.
Its solid Sitka spruce top is enhanced with Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment, imparting the warmth, openness, and sustain of a well-aged instrument. Combined with solid mahogany back and sides and scalloped bracing, the FGX5 delivers a rich, balanced tone with excellent dynamic response.
Designed for stage use, the FGX5 is equipped with Yamaha’s acclaimed Atmosfeel™ pickup system, featuring body sensor, internal mic, and undersaddle pickup elements. This system faithfully reproduces the guitar’s natural acoustic character when plugged in, making it ideal for live performance and recording. Finished in a stunning vintage-style gloss with period-correct details, the FGX5 blends tradition with innovation at the highest level.
