Default SOLD.....Yamaha FGX5 Red Label Dreadnought acoustic/Electric

These guitars are an incredible value for what you are getting. Huge sounding and an excellent fit and finish.. All solid woods construction, a state of the art pickup system and a deluxe hardshell case. This is the Japanese model made in the Yamaha Custom Shop. Purchased new by me from The Music Zoo on July 2, 2020. Bought this guitar to use at gigs but it's just too nice to take out. Still excellent/mint condition. No issues to speak of cosmetically or anything else.

The original Yamaha FG body delivers a full, punchy low end, well-suited for strumming and flatpicking, and 1960s aesthetics and modern craftsmanship culminate over 50 years of Yamaha guitar development.

Does anyone happen to know how these compare acoustically to the Yamaha FG 180 50th anniversary edition?
