YAMAHA / A5R ARE VN Electro-Acoustic Guitar [03]

The Japanese-made Yamaha A Series of electro-acoustic guitars, highly regarded for both quality and sound!

The traditional Western-style single-cutaway body features a solid Sitka spruce top treated with Yamaha’s proprietary A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology—which delivers a rich tone that sounds as if the instrument has been played for years, even when brand new—paired with solid rosewood sides and back.The new scalloped bracing design on the top and a single, shorter brace on the back result in a more powerful and rich volume in the mid-to-low range, taking expressiveness to the next level.

Equipped with a newly developed pickup and preamp system (SRT2 Pickup System: SYSTEM71), it blends the acoustic sound picked up by the piezo with the sound recorded using vintage microphones in a recording studio, achieving a spacious tone on stage that sounds as if it were recorded with a microphone.You can adjust the blend between the piezo pickup sound and the microphone sound, and by switching between two different microphone recordings, you can freely customize the tone to suit your playing style and the song’s mood.

The neck design ensures comfortable playability without any awkwardness, even when switching from an electric guitar to an acoustic guitar on stage. The finish on the back of the neck, along with the neck profile and chamfered edges, ensures comfortable playing in the higher positions, providing a grip that offers excellent playability not only on stage but in any performance setting.

The simple binding, which highlights the wood grain, creates a warm and calm atmosphere, while the distinctive pickguard is inspired by the design of the "N1000" released in 1975.

The A5 series, the flagship model of the A series, is Made in Japan. The headstock binding and machine heads are meticulously crafted to meet the demands of professional guitarists, offering high reliability and a premium feel.
