Yamaha FGX5 Red Label Acoustic Electric Guitar

Classic V-Shaped Headstock

The guitar retains the original FG headstock shape, adorned with the iconic “Tuning Fork” logo. The traditional truss rod cover is emblazoned with “Since 1966” to mark the launch of the first FG models.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top

Commonly sourced from Canada and Alaska, solid Sitka spruce offers a rich midrange and low-frequency response. The sound is tight and focused, working particularly well for chordal strumming or rhythmic fingerstyle performance.

Solid Mahogany Back and Sides 

Mahogany has a slower transient response than many other tonewoods, contributing to a warm and woody tone with a strong midrange.
