YAMAHA / Red Label Series FS5 Vintage Natural [11]

Made in Japan model combining the aesthetics of the 1960s with the expert craftsmanship that has been refined over the past 50 years

The "FG/FS Red Label Series" is a modern evolution of the "FG", commonly known as the "Red Label" as the origin of the Yamaha Folk Guitar.
Yamaha began full-fledged guitar production and sales in 1966 with the release of the "FG180" and "FG150," the first Yamaha folk guitar models made in Japan, and to this day, many users have enjoyed the Yamaha FG series, from entry-level models to professional models.
At the same time, Yamaha has continued to work on quality improvement and technological innovation, and has completed the FG/FS Red Label series, which pursues a sound and modern design suited to today's music scene by utilizing the latest technology, while following the design philosophy of the FG, which is tailored to Japanese tastes.

FS5 has a 634mm scale folk-type body with a Sitka spruce veneer (A.R.E.) top and mahogany veneer side/back.
Mahogany neck with 44mm nut width, ebony fingerboard, and ox bone for nut and saddle.
Newly developed scalloped bracing, which utilizes the latest acoustic analysis simulation technology, is employed to expand the low frequency range and produce a more powerful tone than before.
