Yamaha FG5 Red Label. All solid, Japanese dreadnought - Sold

CountryDave

From Yamaha - The FG Red Label series of acoustic guitars, blending the vintage, handcrafted design of the iconic early Yamaha instruments with our cutting-edge technological innovation in wood conditioning and true-to-life sound reproduction.

These guitars are inspired by our original FG Red Label acoustic guitars of the 1960s, our very first steel-string guitars, which became widely known for their high-end Japanese craftsmanship. The new folk guitars retain the retro aesthetic and classic tone of their predecessors, while adding  the company’s proprietary wood aging process to create a guitar that sounds like a seasoned, vintage instrument right out of the box.

• Solid Mahogany Back and Sides
• Scalloped Bracing
• Satin Finish on the Body

Could you let us have a little more information please:

When was the guitar made and when did you get it?

What sort of condition is it in?

Thanks

CountryDave

I bought it used, from a shop in January this year. It’s in very good condition. I’ve hardly used it since purchased as I’m  mainly an electric player.
The original owner bought it in Jan 2020.
Plays great, sounds incredible, but I find myself grabbing an electric 99% of the time. 

Trying to drop some images (which normally isn’t a problem for me), but for some reason the Imgur links ain’t playing.

The original string pins are in the case, along with another set and all the paperwork/tags.
