Yamaha Red Label Series FG5 GL Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, Gloss Natural

The FG5 dreadnought-style acoustic guitar with an eye-catching gloss finish on the body delivers full, punchy low end, well-suited for strumming and flatpicking, while its 1960s aesthetics are complemented by modern craftsmanship.

Modern Inspiration and Timeless Design

The FG heritage extends back to the 1966 release of the FG180, the first production acoustic guitar by Yamaha. In the more than half-century since, we have balanced traditional guitar craft with a spirit of constant refinement, pursuing our vision of the ideal folk guitar.

Powerful Vintage Tone

A custom-treated, Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides deliver genuine aged-wood tone and sustain. A scalloped bracing pattern offers a louder, more balanced tone.

Classic Style

Inspired by the iconic Yamaha "red label" guitars of the 1960s, FG/FS Red Label guitars feature high-quality components to deliver a beautiful, vintage aesthetic.
