The Yamaha Red Label FG5 is a worldly classic of acoustic guitars. Made in Japan and employing over fifty years of innovation at Yamaha, this Red Label series acoustic is fitted for modern-minded players seeking a reliable and thoroughly musical instrument.

Yamaha's decades in design bring them to this stellar Red Label model. Constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this acoustic plays with a rich, impressive voice. Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) Treatment appears in this guitar. By heat-treating the tonewoods, this FG5 plays with the sustain and character of more aged woods, giving the overall sound of this Yamaha an experienced and lived-in one. This classic combination of woods is met with a scalloped FG bracing pattern to enhance projection, balance, and overall tonal color. Across this FG5, its tonewoods exhibit a vivid tonal palette readymade for flatpicking, songwriting, and much more.

An African mahogany neck joins in on the equation matched with an ebony fingerboard. Measuring to a radius of 15.75", this fingerboard plays comfortably and quickly to get inspired for long playing sessions. Onboard this Yamaha Red Label, players will notice a combination of a bone nut and bone saddle. Effectively grounding strings with steady intonation while facilitating easy string changes, these two small elements play a big part in making this guitar shine.

To top this total package off, this Yamaha FG5 is fitted with a Vintage Natural gloss finish. Open-Gear Chrome tuning machines adorn the headstock while ebony bridge pins solidify stringing. Totally, this acoustic is an outstanding example of sound and design. It travels in style with an included hardshell case for moving from gig to gig.

This Yamaha Red Label FG5 embodies exceptional, classic aesthetics and sounds for modern players. Ready for fans of vintage, well-loved acoustic sounds and fans of innovative acoustic construction, this Red Label FG5 clocks in for new, inspiring sounds.

Video output does not contain power — caveats and findings for Switch users to whom this may concern
The product works with some caveats, which I initially tried to resolve with an ultimately unsuccessful firmware upgrade. (Anker was responsive via email, much appreciated.) It turns out the product was working to the best of its abilities this whole time, which I will now expound upon. I expect that perhaps another 4-5 people in the world intended to use this in the ways that I did, namely with a Nintendo Switch as the source to various output devices. If you are one of these people who are interested in reading my experience connecting this hub with a Nintendo Switch, my findings are below (after a brief primer). A Brief Primer 1. As you know, the Nintendo Switch can be coaxed to output Dp-Alt video if you can satisify a 39W+ handshake (15V, 2.6A or higher) 2. There are other adapters that will do this and output the video (with ample power) over USB-C, which are useful for powering AR glasses, portable monitors, or desktop USB-C monitors. 3. The limitation of a USB-C Dp-Alt adapter is that it does not also provide USB data ports like the Switch Dock itself, while many USB-C to HDMI dongles include USB-A ports. (But we don't want HDMI out, of course, because using USB-C we can power AR glasses or a portable monitor and send the video signal with one cable.) 4. I surmised that, by chaining a USB-C Dp Alt Adapter to this one (Anker A8340), I could have video output and three USB-C ports. Why do I want USB-C data ports? Since you are like me, you already know it is so I can connect a UAC1 DAC to output USB Audio and power thirsty headphones via a 4.4mm Pentacon balanced headphone jack. I also don't need to convince you of the merits of this versus using the Switch's built in 3.5mm headphone jack. Or say, connecting a wired controller because I don't care for input latency if I can avoid it. My Findings 1. This hub can indeed be chained to a USB-C Dp-Alt adapter and pass through a video signal while also leaving three USB 3.2 data ports for wired devices (yes!) 2. However, as other reviews kindly mention, the video signal outputted by the A8340 does not contain power of any sort. So, if you are intending to plug this into a desktop USB-C monitor which already has/doesn't need power, then everything is awesome. 3. If you are trying to power AR glasses, this won't work unless you add a second USB-C DP-Alt adapter after it, and provide power that way. If you intend to convert the video signal to HDMI or DisplayPort via a USB-C to HDMI or DP cable, these won't work because there is no power for the inline conversion. 4. If you are using a USB-C travel monitor, this will work provided you directly power the monitor via its second USB-C power (if it has one). So in summation, it's possible to get what you want, though you may find the victory pyrrhic. The perfect adapter (which I had hope this was, and may yet exist at a higher price point) basically takes a USB-C Dp-Alt adapter, adds USB-C data ports, and outputs USB-C + power to power AR glasses or a travel monitor. This device nevertheless has its uses, such as the ability to connect multiple USB-C devices to the Switch in handheld mode and charge it, too.

Simple and reliable. No Flaws.
Flawless performance so far. I use this item with my iMac, and I'm able to run a 12 channel music interface through it with no noticeable lag.

As someone who regularly works with laptops, electronics, and multiple USB standards, I consider these essential accessories. They offer excellent value for the money and solve a surprisingly common problem very elegantly.

Works perfectly with MacBook
Bought these adapters after getting a wireless mouse for a MacBook and realizing the USB receiver couldn’t be connected directly because the Mac doesn’t have a regular USB port. These adapters solved the problem completely. They work exactly as expected and were very easy to use. The quality feels good and the color matches the MacBook nicely, so they don’t look cheap or out of place. Small, simple, and stylish adapters that do their job well

Anker adapters
These Anker adapters honestly saved me. The quality feels very premium and they work perfectly with no disconnecting or recognition issues. I used them to connect USB-C accessories and everything worked instantly and smoothly. They’re compact, durable, and super convenient to carry around for my content creation setup. The metallic finish also feels much more reliable compared to cheaper adapters I’ve tried before. Definitely recommend this brand if you want something dependable and high quality for your devices. ✨
