Description

The Yamaha A-Series AC1R Cutaway Concert acoustic-electric guitar, an instrument that fuses traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The AC1R produces a robust acoustic tone from its solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides. When plugged in, the guitar comes alive with Yamaha's cutting-edge SRT pickup system, which provides a natural, dynamic tone perfect for any stage.

SRT Pickup System Delivers Studio-Quality Sound

The AC1R's SRT pickup system gives players studio-quality plugged-in tone with simplicity. With volume and tone controls always at your fingertips, you have full command of your sound for any live performance.

Premium Materials Produce Rich, Balanced Tone

The AC1R's solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides provide a rich, balanced tone with articulate highs, warm lows and punchy midrange. The scalloped bracing pattern further enhances resonance and projection. A mahogany neck and rosewood bridge also contribute to the guitar's crisp sound. These premium, hand-selected tonewoods give the AC1R a full, ringing voice perfect for any musical style.

Sleek Cutaway Design Allows Easy Upper-Fret Access

The AC1R features a single cutaway, allowing players to easily reach higher frets. Combined with a slim taper neck and low action, the AC1R's cutaway design makes soloing, intricate chords, and complex fingerpicking accessible for guitarists of all skill levels.

    Question: why do you guys still continue to use a urea nut and saddle even on your more expensive guitars? Other brands for example Taylor, Fender, and Alvarez often use nubone or tusq on guitars that are the same price as this one. Someone at Yamaha please help answer my question.

    That isn't included with the promotion, and I'm not seeing it in store. You could give the store a call and see if they can do anything on the price and have it shipped to the store.
