AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
VDS6550
The Yamaha Red Label FG3 captures the soulful punch of Yamaha’s classic ’60s Red Label acoustics and refines it for today’s players. A solid Sitka spruce top treated with Yamaha’s A.R.E. torrefaction pairs with solid mahogany back and sides to deliver a lively, “opened-up” voice—woody lows, focused mids, and clear, ringing trebles with excellent projection. Updated scalloped bracing further boosts volume and balance, making the FG3 a responsive strummer and an articulate fingerpicker.
A fast, comfortable African mahogany neck joins an ebony fingerboard and bridge for a smooth, premium feel. Vintage-styled touches like the V-shaped headstock, open-gear Gotoh tuners, and semi-gloss finish round out the aesthetic, while modern build precision ensures rock-solid intonation and stability. From coffeehouse sets to studio takes, the FG3 delivers inspiring tone and timeless character.
