    Easy playing and amazing sustained tone rings true and clear. Sound nearly identical to the Taylor I was considering at half the price. Yes I would buy it again!

  • Amazing Value!!!

    First, let me say I am a Yamaha fan having owned several including both the FSX3 and the FGX3, both of which cost more than this AC3M, but I am definitely more impressed with this guitar. I mean read the reviews; they're all 5 stars, and now I can see why for myself. Amazing quality, sound and feel for the price, and I'm also comparing it to my Taylor 314 and 414's, my Martin D18, my Gibson J45 and my Rainsong; all great guitars, and, yes, better than the AC3M, but I'm not convinced better enough in relation to price. Bottom line, read all the reviews like I did, try one these AC3M's and judge for yourself. I'm betting you'll agree with me and the other 15 reviewers of this great guitar, and probably take one home too.

    Always impressed with Yamaha acoustic guitars. Everyone seems to focus on Taylor and Martin; (they are fine guitars indeed) but Yamaha makes just as great of a guitar for less money. I have several Taylor's, but Yamaha is my new 'go to' brand! I've been converted.

  • Definitely would buy again!

    Yamaha's are consistent in build quality, intonation and sound great! This model has solid wood construction sounding better that some more expensive guitars. Electronics allow dialing in your sound! Adjusted truss rod adding more relief for my preferred action. No regrets.

    Can you use a stereo cord to plug in to the acoustic then into a two channel preamp tip ring sleeve cord for a change in balance in tone.!

    No, not stereo. Please see "American Recorder Technologies 1/4" Male Mono to Two 1/4" Female Adapter Nickel"

    It doesn't seem clear from the description- how is this DLX version different than the 'regular' AC3M?

    This difference will be the woods used
