Yamaha A1M Traditional Western Body Acoustic/Electric Guitar

The Yamaha A1M Traditional Western Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar boasts a sturdy Sitka spruce top with scalloped bracing, mahogany back and sides, and Yamaha's original SRT piezo pickup for robust amplified performances.

Tailored for live shows, the Yamaha A-Series guitar is built for the road with Yamaha's renowned durability, making it an ideal companion for your musical pursuits.

Featuring the distinctive Yamaha SRT pickup design that uses separate elements for each string, it delivers a clear, broad signal with exceptional dynamic response and tonal accuracy compared to standard ribbon-type piezo pickups.

These guitars offer a comfort neck profile with a straighter neck taper for effortless high-fret playing and hand-rolled fingerboard edges for a smooth playing experience.

With a simple and unique appearance accented by wood bindings and other details that enhance the wood's warmth, the pickguard's shape, inspired by Yamaha's 1975 N1000 guitar, adds a special touch to performances.

Equipped with Elixir NANOWEB 80/20 Bronze Light strings, the A Series guitars deliver a vibrant tone and extended tone life, meeting players' expectations for exceptional sound quality from Elixir Strings.
