The FG/FS Red Label series retains the mid-bass appeal of the original FG from the 1960s, while the carefully selected Sitka spruce wood has been treated with A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) and specially developed scalloped bracing to create a powerful sound from deep bass and rich overtones. The specially developed scalloped bracing produces a powerful sound with deep bass and rich overtones.
The entire body of this new model has a gloss finish, giving it a more luxurious appearance and a sparkling sound.
