Yamaha A1R Traditional Western Body Cutaway Acoustic/Electric Guitar

The Yamaha A1R Traditional Western Body Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar showcases a sturdy Sitka spruce top with scalloped bracing, rosewood back and sides, and the Yamaha original SRT piezo pickup for reliable amplified performance.

Crafted to excel as a performance acoustic guitar, the Yamaha A-Series is meticulously designed for life on tour. Built with Yamaha's renowned road-ready durability, it's the perfect instrument to elevate your musical journey.

With its Traditional Western Body Cutaway, the guitar produces powerful lows, clear highs, and full body resonance.

The Yamaha SRT pickup design, unique to the brand, utilizes separate elements for each string, resulting in a crystal-clear, wide-bandwidth signal with exceptional dynamic response and tonal precision compared to standard ribbon-type piezo pickups.

Featuring a High-Comfort Neck Profile, these exceptional guitars have a straighter neck taper for easier high-fret playing and hand-rolled fingerboard edges for a comfortable, well-played feel.

Boasting Simple and Distinctive Looks, the guitars showcase an organic design with wood binding and other accents that enhance the warmth of wood. The pickguard's unique shape, reminiscent of Yamaha's 1975 N1000 guitar, adds a standout touch during performances.

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