Yamaha FG5 Gloss Red Label Acoustic Guitar w/Case

Classic FG Heritage, Refined for the Modern Player

Rooted in over 50 years of acoustic excellence, the Yamaha FG5 continues the legacy that began with the 1966 FG180 — combining vintage-inspired design with modern craftsmanship. Hand-built in Japan, this all-solid acoustic embodies Yamaha’s pursuit of the ideal folk guitar: warm, powerful, and effortlessly musical.

Rich, Balanced Tone

Featuring an all-solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the FG5 produces a resonant tone with full low end, clear mids, and sparkling highs. The new scalloped FG bracing pattern enhances projection and harmonic richness, while Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) treatment gives the wood the mature sound of a well-aged instrument.

Premium Craftsmanship

Built with meticulous attention to detail, the FG5 features an ebony fingerboard, bridge, pins, and end pin, paired with a bone nut and saddle for superior sustain and tonal clarity. Every element contributes to its natural resonance and professional playability.

Classic Design, Modern Comfort

With its timeless 1960s-inspired aesthetics and responsive Yamaha FG body shape, this guitar delivers a versatile tonal range that excels for strumming, flatpicking, or fingerstyle. It’s a true workhorse for discerning players who value craftsmanship and tone.
