Great sound, slightly high action out of box

The tone is warm and resonant, typical of all-solid wood guitars. I did have to take it to a tech for a minor setup to lower the action slightly, but once adjusted, it plays like a dream. Worth every penny.

A timeless instrument

This is my third Yamaha, but the first Red Label. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the binding to the headstock logo. It stays in tune remarkably well even with temperature changes.

Exceptional craftsmanship from Japan

The build quality on this Red Label series is outstanding. The solid spruce top provides a rich, balanced tone that opens up beautifully after a few weeks of playing. The ebony fingerboard feels smooth and premium under the fingers.

Perfect for stage and studio

I bought the FSX5 model specifically for the SRT2 electronics. Plugging into a PA system sounds incredibly natural, almost like mic-ing the guitar. The cutaway design makes accessing higher frets effortless.

Superior projection and sustain

The solid mahogany back and sides give this guitar a punchy mid-range that cuts through a mix perfectly. Whether strumming chords or fingerpicking, the sustain is impressive for a dreadnought body size.

Beautiful aesthetics and tone

Visually stunning with a deep, rich wood grain. The sound is clear and articulate. My only minor critique is that the case is sold separately, which adds to the total cost, but the guitar itself is flawless.

5 FAQ

Q: Does this guitar come with a hard case included?

A: No, the Yamaha Red Label FG3/FS3 series typically does not include a hard case in the standard package. A gig bag or hard case must be purchased separately.

Q: Is the neck profile suitable for players with smaller hands?

A: The Red Label features a modern C-shaped neck profile with a 43mm nut width, which is considered standard and comfortable for most hand sizes. Players with very small hands might prefer the FS (Small Body) version for better overall ergonomics.

Q: Can I use steel strings on this guitar?

A: Yes, this guitar is designed specifically for steel strings. Please do not use nylon strings as the neck and bridge are not constructed to handle the tension profile of classical strings.

Q: What is the difference between the FGX and FSX models?

A: The primary difference is the body shape. 'FG' stands for Folk Guitar (Dreadnought body) which offers louder volume and deeper bass, while 'FS' stands for Small Body (Concert body) which provides a more balanced tone and comfortable feel for smaller players. Both feature the same electronics and wood materials.

Q: How do I access the battery compartment for the preamp?

A: The battery compartment is located inside the soundhole near the neck block. You will need to reach inside to slide the cover open. It requires one 9V battery.
