Description
The FG3 Red Label dreadnought acoustic guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top that has been given Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement A.R.E. treatment paired with scalloped top-bracing to deliver a rich midrange and low frequency response. Its ebony fingerboard and bridge add 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 FG3 Red Label dreadnought comes with a hard bag.
