Here’s what Yamaha say:
Inspired by our iconic ‘red label’ guitars of the 1960s, our new FG Red Label folk models blend modern inspiration with a timeless design. Featuring a classic semi-gloss finish and high-quality components, these guitars capture an authentic vintage aesthetic.
The mahogany back and sides are paired with a premium Sitka spruce top, treated with our 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.
Key Features
- ARE: Acoustic Resonance Enhancement
Our proprietary ARE treatment accelerates the natural aging of tonewood by adjusting heat, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. This process removes imperfections and moisture, producing a rich, vintage-quality tone as if the guitar has been played for years. - Atmosfeel Pickup System
The Atmosfeel 3-way pickup & preamp system uses a piezo sensor in the bridge to capture low frequencies, a microphone for low and mid-range, and our proprietary contact sensor for high frequencies. The result is a full, natural sound with simple controls for a great plugged-in tone. - Microphone Blend: When fully clockwise, the signal is 50% mic and 50% piezo + contact sensor. When fully counterclockwise, the mic is removed.
- The mic is ideal for solo performers and chordal players, while a lower blend suits finger-style players and those playing in full-band settings.
- Bass EQ: Controls low frequencies, raising the center frequency when boosting and lowering it when attenuating to prevent problematic stage frequencies.
