Discover timeless tone and modern craftsmanship with the Yamaha Red Label FS3 Acoustic Guitar. Designed to capture the spirit of Yamaha’s iconic 1960s folk guitars, the FS3 blends vintage-inspired aesthetics with advanced construction techniques for today’s players. Whether you’re a singer-songwriter, fingerstyle guitarist, or folk enthusiast, this concert-size acoustic delivers exceptional comfort and a rich, powerful sound. Available now at Irvine Art and Music, the FS3 is a perfect choice for musicians who value both tradition and innovation.

Classic Concert Body with Modern Playability

The FS3’s concert-style body shape is slightly smaller than a dreadnought, offering a balanced, articulate tone that complements strumming, flatpicking, and fingerstyle. Its comfortable size makes it ideal for stage, studio, or casual playing at home.

Premium Tonewoods and Craftsmanship

Built with all-solid wood construction, the FS3 showcases Yamaha’s dedication to quality and tone:

• Solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, projection, and dynamic range
• Solid mahogany back and sides add warmth, depth, and midrange richness
• African mahogany neck ensures stability and smooth playability
• Ebony fingerboard and bridge enhance resonance, durability, and premium feel

Aged-Wood Tone, Right Out of the Case

Thanks to Yamaha’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) technology, the FS3 delivers the tone of a beautifully aged guitar. This proprietary wood-treatment process improves resonance, sustain, and harmonic complexity—giving the FS3 a vintage character from the very first strum.

Advanced Scalloped Bracing for Powerful Sound

The FS3 features scalloped FS bracing, designed to optimize resonance and deliver a warm, powerful tone with deep lows and sparkling highs. This innovative bracing pattern provides excellent projection without sacrificing balance, making the FS3 versatile across musical styles.
