With the Yamaha FGX3II you get the latest iteration of the famed Red Label electro acoustic guitar that's been a favourite amongst players the world over since the late 1960s.
The critically-acclaimed Red Label series has consistently been revered for their tone, playability, and superior craftsmanship, all of which is most certainly evident here.
Yamaha FGX3II Red Label Electro-Acoustic Guitar Key Features
- High Quality Woods - The Yamaha FGX3 is made with all solid wood for the top, back and sides. This gives you incredible sound that only improves with age. One of the most popular top woods in acoustic guitar building, solid Sitka Spruce is used for the top of the Yamaha FGX3 Red Label electro-acoustic guitar. Solid Mahogany has been used for the back and sides, adding warmth to your tone and strengthening the midrange frequencies. In addition to this, the African Mahogany neck features a semi gloss finish for easy playability with vintage looks and holds an Ebony fretboard with a smooth and incredibly durable playing surface.
- Acoustic Resonance Enhancement - Acoustic Resonance Enhancement is a wood treatment method that is exclusive to Yamaha. Using a combination of heat, humidity and atmospheric pressure, A.R.E. treatment dramatically speeds up the aging process of the guitar’s wood. As a result, you get rich, vintage sounding tone so the Yamaha FGX3 sounds like a guitar you’ve been playing for years, right from the moment you first pick it up.
- Atmosfeel Electronics - Allowing you to plug in the Yamaha FGX3 and take to the stage is Yamaha’s amazing new Atmosfeel 3-way pickup and preamp system. Atmosfeel electronics use a combination of a piezo sensor in the bridge to capture low frequencies, a microphone for capturing the low and mid-range frequencies and a proprietary contact sensor pickup for the high frequencies. With each of these elements optimised for the frequencies they’re intended to capture, you get full, natural sound.
- Additional Fantastic Features - Further enhancing the Yamaha FGX3 Red Label electro-acoustic guitar’s tone is a newly modified scalloped bracing pattern, which has been optimised to work perfectly with the above-mentioned tonewoods. In addition to this a set of Gotoh open gear tuners offer super-secure and precise tuning, ensuring you sound at your very best with each performance.
- Hard Gig Bag Included - To keep your guitar safe when it's not in use, Yamaha have included a Hard Gig Bag. This bag will protect the FGX3II from spills, scratches, and knocks as you travel to and from your performances.
