YAMAHA / FS5 GLOSS Vintage Natural [11]

FS5 GLOSS" red label with gloss finish body!

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 is treated with A.R.E. processing (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) and specially developed scalloped bracing to create a deep bass and powerful sound from 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.
