Yamaha’s original Nippon Gakki Red Label acoustic guitars are prized for a reason — they sound amazing! The Yamaha Red Label FG3 harkens back to those sought-after instruments but is tweaked for modern performance. Experience maximum resonance and tone, thanks to solid tonewoods that have been enhanced via Yamaha’s A.R.E. wood torrefication process. You’ll also enjoy a louder, more balanced tone, by virtue of updated scalloped bracing. The Red Label FG3 includes a classic V-shaped headstock and eye-catching semi-gloss finish.
