Tradition Meets Innovation

Tradition Meets Innovation

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.

Features

Classic Style

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

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 louder, more balanced tone.

New Atmosfeel™ Pickup and Preamp System

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