Yamaha AC1R Electric Acoustic Guitar Vintage Natural
A SERIES — THE NEXT LEVEL
Designed to be the ideal performance acoustic guitar, the Yamaha A Series is crafted from the ground up for life on the road. Expect a natural, dynamic plugged-in tone and stage-ready simplicity from the new SRT2 pickup system; played-in comfort out of the box thanks to hand-rolled fingerboard edges on a straight-taper neck; and a custom scalloped bracing pattern that unlocks a powerful, expressive acoustic voice—backed by Yamaha’s legendary road-ready construction.
