YAMAHA / AC5R ARE VN(Vintage Natural) [A Series]

The A series of Yamaha electric acoustic guitars made in Japan are highly acclaimed for both quality and sound!
The slim, fork-size body with a single cutaway has been treated with Yamaha's proprietary A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology, which gives the guitar a rich sound as if it has been played for many years, even though it is brand new. Solid Sitka spruce" is used for the sides (sideboards) and back (backboard), and "solid rosewood" is used for the sides (sideboards) and back (backboard). The newly designed scalloped bracing on the front board and one bracing on the back board, which is shorter than before, have made the volume of the middle and lower registers more powerful and rich, raising the level of expressiveness.

The newly developed pickup and preamp system (SRT2 pickup system: SYSTEM71) blends the raw sound picked up by the piezo with the sound recorded by vintage microphones in recording studios, resulting in a broad tone on stage, as if recorded with a microphone. The sound of the piezo pickup is blended with the sound recorded by vintage microphones in a recording studio. The blend of the piezo pickup sound and the microphone sound can be adjusted, and by using the sounds recorded by two different types of microphones, you can freely arrange the tone according to your playing style and the tune of the song.

The neck design provides comfortable playability, even when switching from electric guitar to acoustic guitar on stage or when recording or practicing in complex open tunings. The finish on the back of the neck for comfortable playing in the high position and the beveled neck cross section and edges provide a playable grip not only on stage but also at any site.

The binding, which is simple and makes use of the wood grain, creates a sense of warmth and serenity, and the unique pickguard is based on the design of the N1000, which was released in 1975 and was a favorite of top artists.

The A5 Series, the flagship model of the A Series, is made in Japan. The head binding and pegs (machine head) are elaborate, reliable, and high-class specifications that meet the demands of professional guitarists.
