Yamaha Red Label FSX3

Modern Inspiration and Timeless Design

The FS 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.

Classic Style
Inspired by the iconic Yamaha "red label" guitars of the 1960s, FS Red Label guitars feature a semi-gloss finish and high-quality components to deliver a beautiful vintage aesthetic.

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

The new Yamaha Atmosfeel™ three-way pickup system provides a remarkably natural plugged-in sound.
