YAMAHA / AC3R ARE Vintage Natural (VN) [12]

All-solid folk-style guitar! ARE-treated top, rosewood sides and back!
By incorporating feedback from numerous guitarists and technicians, we’ve refined the neck taper to ensure a comfortable grip even near the body joint and rounded the fingerboard edges, pursuing a natural playing feel and superior playability. It’s easy to play even in the high positions, 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—despite the cutaway design—along with powerful resonance in the mid-to-low frequencies!

The body features a cutaway and a tapered folk-style shape, with an all-solid construction using Sitka spruce for the top and rosewood 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 resonance reminiscent of a guitar that has been played for many years!!

The pickup system employs 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 essential functions, resulting in high operability ideal for stage performances and practice sessions.The pickup unit features independent 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, you can choose between two different microphone types to suit your playing style and the songs you’re performing.

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