Folk Guitar

The look inherited from the FG Folk guitars of the 60s, which launched the reputation of the Japanese manufacturer, is combined in the FS3 II acoustic guitar with a modern design to give you incredible performance. New features include a new scalloped bracing design for even more roundness and warmth, great bass presence and incredible projection. The tighter, more compact format of the original Yamaha FS body gives the FS3 II a crisp, clean sound that's more likely to cut through the mix, so you can hear without straining.

When the FG / FS Red Label series was conceived, Yamaha's R&D department's stated intention was to offer an instrument with a warm sound that would be perfectly at home in a Folk register.

The original Yamaha FS body format delivers a clear, bright sound that's particularly at home as a solo guitar.

The solid sitka spruce top is treated with Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) for a rich, powerful sound.

The FG / FS Red Label series is not a series of guitars frozen in time. It brings together the heritage of over fifty years of expertise with a modern take on the needs of today's guitarists.

The 'Red Label' label on the inside of the guitar immediately evokes the manufacture of the very first iconic Japanese FG Folk guitars of the 1960s, produced at the time under the name Nippon Gakki.

The design and lines of the headstock of the FG/FS Red Label series are similar to those of the first FG series from 1966, as are the 3 tuning forks and the truss-rod access cover.

Cette guitare Yamaha de la récente série Red Label est en tous points remarquable. Le but était un hommage commémoratif aux toutes premières Yamaha fabriquées au Japon à la fin des années 60 et au début des 70s, qui avaient une étiquette rouge ("Red Label"), et qui ont engendré pour la marque un développement et une reconnaissance rapides, en raison de leur rapport qualité/prix extraordinaire. Le but est atteint, les Red Label d'aujourd'hui se montrent à la hauteur de leurs ancêtres. Précisons qu'elles sont fabriquées au Japon à partir du chiffre 5 (FS5 et FG5), la FS3 et la FG3 étant fabriquées en Chine.
