A timeless design with modern technology for the stage performer.
The Yamaha FGX5 Gloss Dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar continues Yamaha's Red Label legacy, blending vintage aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. Crafted in Japan, this guitar is built to excel with strummed performances, delivering punchy low-end tones and detailed harmonics. Inspired by the iconic 1960s FG Red Label guitars, the FGX5 features a beautiful gloss finish that authentically captures the vintage look, while Yamaha's A.R.E (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment provides the sound and sustain of aged wood. On stage, the Atmosfeel™ pickup system faithfully reproduces the guitar's true acoustic tone, making it an ideal choice for live performers.
Vintage Design With Modern Tonewoods
The FGX5 is built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, offering a resonant, balanced tone with punchy lows and clear highs. The A.R.E treatment enhances the tonal depth and sustain, giving the guitar the sound of a well-aged instrument. Its dreadnought body style delivers powerful projection, making it perfect for strumming and full, open chords.
Advanced Atmosfeel Electronics for Stage-Ready Sound
Equipped with Yamaha's Atmosfeel pickup system, the FGX5 provides an accurate representation of its acoustic tone when amplified. The system includes a master volume, mic blend, and bass EQ, allowing you to fine-tune your sound for any stage or recording situation. The built-in preamp ensures clarity and tonal precision, whether you're playing live or recording directly.
Crafted for Comfort and Performance
The FGX5's African mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard offer smooth playability, while the bone nut and saddle, combined with ebony bridge pins, provide enhanced tuning stability and resonance. With its open-gear chrome tuners and classic black and cream binding, this guitar blends vintage style with modern craftsmanship, making it both visually stunning and a joy to play.
