An all-solid dreadnought with acoustically enhanced tonewood for old school flavor.

Yamaha's FS3 Red Label concert acoustic guitar features an A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treated solid Sitka spruce top and scalloped top-bracing, which delivers a rich midrange and low frequency response as well as broken-in tone. The FS3 Red Label also features a solid mahogany back and sides to help produce a warm and woody tone that bolsters the midrange. It also comes with an ebony fingerboard and bridge for added strength and stability.

In defining the sound of FG Red Label guitars, Yamaha's intention was to offer a warm tone that would be ideal for modern folk music and singer/songwriters. With careful measurement and experimentation, their luthiers made several refinements to the bracing that would enhance low-frequency response without compromising durability. These changes are optimized for the natural characteristics of the tonewoods, and for each body silhouette.

A.R.E. Briefly
Yamaha’s exclusive Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) uses heat, humidity and atmospheric pressure to accelerate the aging of the wood. The A.R.E. process gives the instrument a rich, vintage-quality tone, producing a sound as if you’ve been playing it for years.

The FS3 Red Label ships with a gig bag.
