The Yamaha FS5 Red Label acoustic guitar brings together the best of vintage 1960s design with contemporary Japanese craftsmanship, creating an instrument that feels familiar from the first strum. This concert-style acoustic features a smaller body profile that produces a slightly brighter tonal character, making it particularly well-suited to fingerpicking techniques and intimate playing styles.
Built with meticulous attention to detail, the FS5 showcases a custom-treated solid Sitka Spruce top paired with solid Mahogany back and sides. This premium wood combination produces the classic folk guitar tone that Yamaha’s Red Label series is renowned for, whilst the superior build quality ensures lasting performance and reliability.
Finished in Vintage Natural Gloss, this Japanese-made instrument honours traditional aesthetics whilst incorporating modern construction techniques. The FS5 comes complete with a protective case, making it ready for both studio sessions and live performances straight from the shop.
