Ready reamed out to accept a pickup of your choice. 

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.

• 1960s aesthetics and modern craft, refined over 50+ years of Yamaha guitar development
• New scalloped bracing patterns provide a warm, powerful tone with deep lows and rich harmonics
• ARE treatment imparts the sound and sustain of aged wood
• All-solid construction with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back ; sides
• Ebony fingerboard & bridge

I got one of these new from the Yamaha shop. They really are good sounding guitars with a deep bass capability, and understated looks, possibly a serious rival to the Martin D18.

I’ve got one too. Lovely. That’s a good price.

I have one as well.  For someone who played a few Yamahas back in the day it defintiely has that character but just really loud and responsive too.  You don't see that many around either.
