The new Yamaha FG3 is part of the Red Label Series from Yamaha, first launched in 1966. This new series blends vintage designs with modern technology and includes everything Yamaha has learned and developed over the last 50 years of guitar manufacturing.
Standout features of the FG3 include:
* All solid construction using select tonewoods
* A.R.E. to produce powerful and balanced vintage tones
* New scalloped bracing pattern
* 1960s aesthetics and modern craftsmanship
The aged tonewoods of classic guitars become more resonant over time and vibrate more freely, producing a sound we hear as louder and more powerful. This is the tone the FG3 is designed to produce.
Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) is the technology Yamaha uses to get the vintage tones from their new guitars. This process uses heat, humidity, and pressure on the top to accelerate the aging of the wood. It's none chemical, environmentally friendly and produces vintage tones on a new instrument!
Recreating a classic is always a challenge, but the new FG3 Red Label guitar from Yamaha hits the mark. It sets the standard of what a Yamaha guitar is, in terms of tone, style and build quality and defines what it takes to build a great sounding guitar.
