Inspired by Yamaha's iconic 'red label' guitars of the 1960s, the new FS (Smaller Body) Red Label folk models blend modern inspiration with a timeless design. Featuring a classic semi-gloss finish and high-quality components, FS Red Label guitars capture an authentic vintage aesthetic. The mahogany back and sides are paired with a premium Sitka spruce top which has been treated with Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement ('ARE') process for genuine aged-wood tone and sustain. A new scalloped-bracing design delivers plenty of volume, while the groundbreaking Atmosfeel three-way pickup system provides a natural acoustic sound when amplified. The new Yamaha FSX3 Red Label guitar sounds and feels like you've been playing it for years - right from the very first note.

Using acoustic to record at home until live music venues fully open.

If there is a better acoustic for the price, I haven't found it. I love the feel and the tone of this instrument. I've read a lot of reviews that said the electronics are really easy to dial in for gigs or performances, but I've haven't tested that yet. I've had the guitar for 6 months. If someone were to offer me a guitar twice the price in exchange for this one, I'd have to think long and hard before accepting it. And even then I probably wouldn't.

I'm retired and have been playing guitar since I was 10 years old. I've owned almost every brand of guitar you could name including Gibson, Martin, and Taylor's. None of them ever really gave me the sound { unplugged or plugged} or tone I was looking for. When I saw this guitar advertised on Musicians friend, I read the description and the specs and ordered one on the spot. And am I glad I did. I finally , after all these years, found the guitar I have always dreamed about. Everything they say about this guitar is true and more. The unplugged sound is amazing with the most volume I've ever heard from an unplugged acoustic. And in my opinion the plugged in sound can't be beat by any other brand, bar none. And don't let made in China sway your decision to buy one of ... MoreI'm retired and have been playing guitar since I was 10 years old.

The unplugged sound is amazing with the most volume I've ever heard from an unplugged acoustic. And in my opinion the plugged in sound can't be beat by any other brand, bar none. And don't let made in China sway your decision to buy one of these guitars. This guitar is one of the most quality built guitars I have ever owned. Yamaha has outdone themselves with their new Red Label brand acoustics. Order one and I don't think you'll be sorry.
I ordered this guitar through Musician's Friend. The first thing I did was have a Guitar Center tech lower the action. Then I put a set of light gauge Elixers on it. Now I couldn't ask for a sweeter sounding, easier playing guitar. Unplugged, it has great volume and beautiful tone. Playing through my Fishman Loudbox Artist amp I couldn't ask for a better acoustic sound. The built in Atmosfeel pickup system is amazing. And the quality build is great. Yamaha put their best into these guitars. More than worth the price. I've owned more expensive high end guitars and none of them match the sound and quality build of this FSX3.
I have played and owned them all and this will be the last acoustic I buy. I can find no cons to owning this guitar. Sounds great unplugged and simply amazing plugged in. Nice location for the controls. Beautiful sound. Has a "French Polish" type finish like a classical guitar. I'm sure it helps the sound. Even though it is not a cutaway it us small and comfortable. Don't let the size fool you it still has a big sound. 13/4" nut great for finger style. I had a Yamaha LS6 before and I didn't like the fact that it had no controls on the electronics. This one does. You will have to set it up. Action is quite high out of the box. Lowered the saddle, adjusted the truss rod, and put on my favorite strings and Boom I'm there. All I can say is get it now while they still ... MoreI have played and owned them all and this will be the last acoustic I buy. I can find no cons to owning this guitar.

Yamaha has created a Masterpiece guitar which is amazing especially for the price!
