Yamaha's A-Series A1M Cutaway Dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar brings musicians versatile, natural tone and premium playability. The A1M features a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides that provide lush, balanced sound across the tonal spectrum. The dreadnought cutaway body offers comfortable access to higher frets, while the rosewood bridge and fingerboard provide a smooth playing surface. The A1M, a performance-level acoustic-electric that looks, feels, and sounds stunning.

SRT Pickup System Delivers Dynamic, Articulate Tone

Yamaha's acclaimed SRT pickup system gives the A1M a clear, expressive plugged-in voice. The SRT2 pickup accurately captures the A1M's resonant acoustic tone and natural dynamics. Paired with Yamaha's System 66 preamp, the SRT2 offers volume control, a built-in tuner, 3-band EQ, and an innovative midrange frequency slider for tone shaping on the fly.

Scalloped Bracing Enhances Projection and Sustain

The A1M's scalloped bracing pattern allows the solid-wood top to vibrate freely, producing outstanding projection, depth, and sustain. Notes ring out with complex overtones and harmonics across the fretboard. The A1M's robust low end is balanced by a focused midrange and shimmering highs, resulting in an inspiring playing experience for singer-songwriters and acoustic rock performers alike.

Comfortable Neck Profile Promotes All-Night Playability

Yamaha designed the A1M's neck to feel familiar and played-in right out of the case. The slim, tapered profile features hand-rolled fingerboard edges for a smooth, comfortable feel that invites all-night playability. The 25.5" scale length and 1.692" nut width are ideal for intricate fingerpicking or strumming full open chords.
