This Acoustic-electric Sounds Amazing Live
Did you know that Yamaha’s AC1R acoustic-electric guitar gives you all of the same great features you’d expect from a high-end acoustic, but for a lot less money? It’s true. The AC1R provides you with the warmth and bass of rosewood back and sides, the sparkle of a spruce top, and the tonality of a concert body. Talk about a singer/songwriter’s dream guitar! What’s more, the AC1R features Yamaha’s SRT (Studio Response Technology) electronics, which gives you studio sound when you play plugged in. Get amazing sound on and off the stage with a Yamaha AC1R acoustic-electric guitar.

In the Yamaha AC3M Concert acoustic-electric guitar, Yamaha offers a vintage look with enhanced volume in the low-mid ranges, due to new scalloped bracing for the top and shorter bracing on the guitar’s back. With a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this concert-sized guitar sounds fantastic. It also benefits from Yamaha’s A.R.E. wood torrefaction, a high-heat treatment that gives the guitar top greater stability and an aged, vintage hue. The Yamaha AC3M Concert takes full advantage of Yamaha’s unobtrusive and versatile SRT2 pickup system for recording and stage performance. You get volume, treble, and bass controls (with auto feedback reduction), and blend control allows you to balance between the piezo and SRT2 preamp, for your own distinctive tone.
