Description
Yamaha's Red Label FG3 Dreadnought Acoustic pays homage to the Nippon Gakki Red Label Yamahas of the late '60s and early '70s, coveted for their gorgeous tone and high-end Japanese craftsmanship. The FG3 improves upon the decades-old design, incorporating modern wood torrefaction processes and an updated scalloped bracing for enhanced tone, resonance, and projection.
The Red Label FG3 features all solid woods, giving it a rich, bold sound that resonates beautifully. Its solid mahogany back and sides provide deep lows and rich mids, while its solid Sitka spruce top adds plenty of brightness and clarity to its voice. Players who perform with bands and ensembles will love its larger Dreadnought body that projects loudly and clearly, and its scalloped bracing that gives it a more balanced and even sound across the entire frequency spectrum. And, thanks to Yamaha's A.R.E. wood torrefaction process, the FG3 sounds nearly identical to a genuine vintage acoustic, making it perfect for players who want that broken-in, 'aged to perfection' sound right out of the box.
Complete with a wonderfully sleek African mahogany neck and a velvety-smooth ebony fingerboard, the Yamaha Red Label FG3 is an excellent choice for players seeking a top-notch, vintage-inspired dreadnought acoustic.
