General

In a way, the Yamaha FSX3 is a modern electro-acoustic guitar dressed in a '60s-style dreadnought-shaped jacket. That's vintage vibes right next to an advanced, natural-sounding Atmosfeel preamp that combines with a piezo pickup, a built-in microphone and a set of controls for a wide range of foundation sounds. In addition, the FSX3 features a specially-treated soundboard which adds more sustain to the low-end while putting more emphasis on the trebles and mid-range. This rich-sounding Red Label guitar comes complete with a case.

Wrote the following about Yamaha Red Label Series FGX5 Electro-Acoustic Guitar with Case
This guitar is amazing with a great looking finish. It played like butter straight from the case, really comfortable.Sounds brilliant amplified and the case is excellent. I was wary about buying without seeing and playing first, but my worries were blown away when I opened the case and picked it up.
Brilliant

Wrote the following about Yamaha Red Label Series FGX5 Electro-Acoustic Guitar with Case
Deze gitaar is geweldig qua sound, de pickups klinken open en dynamisch . Het is een no - nonsens gitaar zonder franje, alle euro’s zitten in de kwaliteit van de gebruikte materialen. Maar…. De gitaar was slecht/ niet afgesteld. De actie was dusdanig hoog dat de gitaar vanaf de 6e fret nauwelijks bespeelbaar was. Als je dit niet zelf kunt, moet je dus iemand vinden dit dit voor je kan doen( neck, nut, bridge ) om de actie op de 12e fret op ong 6/64 te krijgen. Dat had ik niet verwacht bij een gitaar in deze prijsklasse…
