FS5 GL

The Yamaha FS5 Red Label masterfully blends warmth with clarity, and comfort with projection. Despite its compact body and approachable price point, the FS5 delivers a premium playing experience that rivals much more expensive guitars. Built with top-tier solid tonewoods — a responsive Sitka spruce top paired with warm, rich mahogany back and sides — this guitar benefits from Yamaha's A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment, which gives the top a beautifully aged tone and look. Modified scalloped bracing enhances projection and tonal balance, making this a standout choice for both fingerstyle players and flatpickers. Distinctive features like the classic "V" headstock, gloss finish, and bone nut and saddle all contribute to its impressive tone and aesthetics. The FS5 is a proud evolution of Yamaha’s renowned FS series — offering professional tone and craftsmanship in a truly inspiring instrument.
