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.
Features
Powerful Vintage Tone
A custom-treated, solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides deliver genuine aged-wood tone and sustain.
A scalloped bracing pattern offers 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.
