Yamaha – Red Label FSX5 – Natural

FS Red Label guitars are inspired by Yamaha’s iconic Nippon Gakki Red Label guitars from the 1960s. These sought-after instruments are cherished for their one-of-a-kind sound and high-end Japanese craftsmanship. The FS Red Label series enables you to experience the very essence of these legendary instruments, thanks to Yamaha’s state-of-the-art wood conditioning techniques and true-to-life vintage sound. All FS Red Label guitars feature classic V-shaped headstocks with Yamaha’s tuning fork logos, solid tonewoods, updated scalloped bracing, and eye-catching semi-gloss finishes. The Red Label FSX5 is equipped with Yamaha’s Atmosfeel pickup and preamp system. This innovative system lends a natural, three-dimensional sound to your guitar via a 3-way sensor setup. A piezo under-saddle sensor picks up sound where the strings meet the bridge, while an internal microphone captures the guitar’s internal resonance and a sheet sensor picks up vibrations from its soundboard. A Mic Blend knob enables you to blend the mic signal with the piezo. A Bass EQ knob controls a peaking EQ – the center frequency raises when boosting and lowers when attenuating. You also get a Master Volume control.
