This Acoustic-electric Sounds Amazing Live

Did you know that Yamaha's AC3R acoustic-electric guitar gives you all of the same great features you'd expect from a high-end acoustic, but for a lot less money? It's true. The AC3R provides you with the warmth and bass of a solid rosewood back and sides, plus the sparkle of a spruce top and the tonality of a concert body - talk about a singer-songwriter's dream guitar! What's more, the AC3R features Yamaha's SRT electronics, which give you studio sound when you play plugged in. Get amazing sound on and off stage with a Yamaha AC3R acoustic-electric guitar.

Yamaha AC3R Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Concert body style gives you excellent natural acoustic projection
  • Spruce topped rosewood is a singer-songwriter's ideal tonewood combo
  • SRT electronics system faithfully captures your acoustic sound when you play plugged in

Concert body style gives you excellent natural acoustic projection
Ever since guitarists have been relying on the natural projection of their instruments, the unique voice of the concert body style has been an all-around favorite among musicians. Even without its advanced onboard electronics, the AC3R acoustic-electric guitar gives you a balanced voice that's perfect for anything from traditional music to the driving rhythms of modern acoustic rock. You'll love the full sound of Yamaha's AC3R, particularly when you play more aggressively.

Spruce topped rosewood is a singer-songwriter's ideal tonewood combo
Whether you lean towards indie rock, alt country, traditional folk, or any other style you can think of, if your acoustic guitar is frequently your entire backing band, then you're going to feel right at home with a Yamaha AC3R acoustic-electric guitar. Its rosewood back and sides provide exceptional bass and powerful projection, whereas its spruce top adds air to its treble. This leaves the midrange open for your voice, so you aren't constantly fighting to sing over your guitar. Even if you don't play solo, you can't help but appreciate the AC3R's incredible tonal balance.

SRT electronics system faithfully captures your acoustic sound when you play plugged in
When it's time to plug in, most acoustic guitars are reduced to mere shadows of their former tone. That's why Yamaha developed their SRT (Studio Response Technology) electronics. More than a mere preamp system, these electronics form a DSP-driven acoustic modeling system that analyzes the sound of each individual string to faithfully recreate your guitar's sound live. When you plug into your AC3R you hear all the subtle nuances, open space, and smooth overtones you'd only expect from an expertly placed vintage tube mic. Playing plugged in will never be the same again.

Yamaha AC3R Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:
  • An affordable acoustic-electric guitar loaded with high-end features
  • Concert body style provides phenomenal projection and overall tonal balance
  • Solid rosewood back and sides provide satisfying bass response and enhanced projection
  • Solid spruce top complements the rosewood back and sides with airy treble and a touch of sparkle
  • SRT (Studio Response Technology) electronics recreates the sound and spatial dimension of a vintage microphone used in a professional studio
  • SRT System 63 Preamp controls let you fine-tune your sound to fit in any mix or environment
  • Hardshell case included

I have owned many guitars and for the price point Yamaha always gives what you pay for. The guitar is made from high quality rosewood,spruce and ebony, the neck is dove tailed not bolted on. The only ... read more [+]negative is the plastic nut saddle and bridge pins, I had a bone nut/saddle and ebony pins installed. Instant tone improvement, which allowed the guitar to resonate to it's fullest. My friends have bolt on neck acoustics from the famous "T" brand and we all agree the AC3R equaled their 3 series. Sweetwater treated me right and earned my business! close [-]
