Description
Yamaha A5R ARE Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar - Vintage NaturalSolid top Handmade Acoustic electric with Vintage Vibe and a Big Voice Handmade in Japan with select tonewoods, Yamaha's A5R acoustic electric guitar 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 dreadnought's back. With a solid Sitka spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, this guitar sounds fantastic. The Yamaha A5R also benefits from Yamaha's A. R. E. wood
Solid-top Handmade Acoustic-electric with Vintage Vibe and a Big Voice
Modern audio engineering with vintage style
While the Yamaha A5R has a traditional western body cutaway, its lows and highs resonate even more fully than those generated by conventional designs, thanks to new scalloped top bracing and shorter back board bracing. These modifications allow the top and back to resonate more naturally and with greater volume in the low-mid ranges. The western cutaway gives it a classic look, but an all-new brace design definitely brings the Yamaha A5R into the twenty-first century — and the Irvine Art & Music showroom!
Quality woods plus innovation equal brilliant sound
Sitka spruce is highly valued for guitar tops — and for good reason. This select grade of stiff but elastic softwood is equally suited to aggressive strumming, flatpicking, and even fingerpicking styles of play. The Yamaha A5R features a solid Sitka top treated at high heat to remove moisture and volatiles (the A.R.E. process), resulting in greater stability and a beautiful aged color. The A5R solid rosewood back and sides also produce warm, balanced tones from low to high, and the ebony fingerboard and bridge provide additional responsiveness. This is a guitar that looks, plays, and sounds great!
Studio sound onstage
Normally you can best hear a guitar's subtle nuances when it's miked in the studio; but the A5R has Yamaha's SRT2 pickup system, which brings those wonderful acoustic sounds to the stage. With blend control, you can balance the output from the under-bridge piezo with the characteristics of either a Neumann U 67 large-diaphragm condenser or a Royer R-122 active ribbon microphone, creating your own unique tone with natural clarity.
