YAMAHA / Red Label FSX5 GLOSS (FSX5G) Vintage Natural Yamaha Eleaco Made in Japan [S/N IKO279A]

This item is shown with images of the actual instrument and is a warehouse kept item that has not been displayed in a store. Each part of the instrument has been functionally checked by our dedicated staff prior to shipment.

The FG/FS Red Label series retains the mid-bass appeal of the original FG from the 1960s, while the carefully selected citrus spruce wood has been treated with A.R.E. processing (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) and specially developed scalloped bracing to achieve 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 body of this new model has a new gloss finish, giving it a more luxurious appearance and a sparkling sound. The pickup-equipped model features the Atmosfeel 3-way PU system, which has been highly acclaimed for its natural acoustic sound, and delivers excellent performance on stage as well.
