The Yamaha Red Label FS3 artfully balances warmth and clarity, comfort and output. Don’t let its size or price deceive you — the FS3 delivers a playing experience that holds its own against some industry heavyweights. Its body is built from a choice cocktail of solid tonewoods — dynamic Sitka spruce on warm, rich mahogany — with a top that has been visually and tonally optimized using Yamaha’s A.R.E wood torrefaction process and Modified Scalloped bracing.
