YAMAHA / AC3M ARE Vintage Natural [10]

All-solid construction, ARE-treated top, mahogany sides and back!
Incorporating feedback from numerous guitarists and technicians, we’ve pursued a natural playing feel and superior playability by chamfering the fretboard edges and carefully refining the neck taper to ensure a comfortable grip even near the body joint. It’s easy to play even in the high frets, and the transition from an electric guitar feels seamless, delivering exceptional performance in a variety of settings, including live performances, recording, and practice.

Using Yamaha’s proprietary analysis technology, we’ve refined the bracing system, incorporating a newly designed scalloped bracing pattern on the top and bracing specifically developed for cutaway models on the back. This achieves a rich, full-bodied sound—even with a cutaway—along with powerful resonance in the mid-to-low frequencies!

The body features a cutaway and a tapered folk-style shape, constructed entirely of solid wood with Sitka spruce for the top and mahogany for the sides and back.
The spruce top has been treated with our proprietary "A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)" process. This achieves a rich tone reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for many years!!

The pickups utilize the newly developed “SRT2” system, an evolution of the “SRT (Studio Response Technology)” system. While retaining the sound characteristics of the “SRT” system—which delivers an acoustic sound rich in ambience, as if recorded by a top-tier sound engineer in a studio—the system has been streamlined by carefully selecting only essential functions, resulting in high operability ideal for stage performances and practice sessions.The pickup unit features individual piezo elements for each string, allowing players to easily create their desired sound by blending the piezo pickup’s tone with the sound produced by the “SRT2” system. Furthermore, players can choose between two different microphone types to suit their playing style or the music they’re performing.

The design eschews flashy embellishments, yet uses wood for the body binding and soundhole inlay to create an organic, high-quality impression that conveys the warmth of the wood. The pickguard features a striking design inspired by the "N1000" acoustic guitar, a model beloved by top artists in the 1970s.
