General
An African mahogany neck, ebony bridge pins and a solid spruce top; Yamaha have used nothing but high quality pieces to complete the Red Label Series FG5. What's more, to celebrate the year Yamaha introduced their fist steel-string guitars, the FG5 features a special 1960s headstock, and the spruce soundboard has received the Acoustic Resonance Enhancement treatment for a beautifully matured, fully-vintage foundation sound, where the low-end sustain is stretched while the mids and trebles are injected with an extra dose of focus.
