The perfect combination of modern inspiration and timeless design
Inspired by our iconic 'red label' guitars of the 1960s, the new FG Red Label folk models blend modern inspiration with a timeless design. Featuring a classic semi-gloss finish and high-quality components, FG Red Label guitars capture an authentic vintage aesthetic.
The mahogany back and sides are paired with a premium Sitka spruce top which has been treated with our Acoustic Resonance Enhancement ('ARE') process for genuine aged-wood tone and sustain. A new scalloped-bracing design delivers plenty of volume and a natural, balanced acoustic tone.
The new FG Red Label guitars sound and feel like you've been playing them for years - right from the very first note!
