Expect Big Tone, Plugged In or Out, from This Comfortable Concert Style
With its sleek and comfortable Concert body style, the Yamaha Red Label FSX3 artfully balances warmth and clarity, comfort and output. Don’t let its size or price deceive you — the FSX3 delivers a playing experience that holds its own against some industry heavyweights. Its body is built from a choice cocktail of solid tonewoods — dynamic Sitka spruce on warm, rich mahogany — with a top that has been visually and tonally optimized using Yamaha’s A.R.E wood aging process and Modified Scalloped bracing. Together, these yield a developed and mature tone that is sure to put a smile on any seasoned fingerstylist or flatpicker’s face. The FSX3 is ready to rock the stage or practice space, with Atmosfeel electronics for a stellar plugged-in sound. A “V” headstock and eye-catching semi-gloss finish round out this price-defying package.
