Seller's description

Made in Japan! The flagship model of the A Series! In our quest to create guitars that deliver ideal performance, the A Series was designed to adapt to a variety of lifestyles. It features the new “SRT2” pickup system, which allows you to instantly and easily produce the guitar’s natural acoustic sound when connected to a PA system. Features such as the neck’s back finish and edge profiling—which boast excellent playability—along with the newly designed scalloped bracing, deliver a powerful and expressive tone. The A Series takes your playing to the next level, anytime, anywhere. ・Slim folk cutaway body shape ・Solid Sitka spruce top with A.R.E. treatment ・Solid rosewood back and sides ・Rich resonance thanks to newly developed scalloped bracing ・Equipped with the SRT2 pickup system (SYSTEM71) ・Neck design for comfortable playability ・Simple yet original design ・Hard case included ・Made in Japan We incorporated feedback from numerous guitarists and technicians to pursue a natural playing feel and playability. This was achieved by chamfering the edges of the fingerboard and carefully refining the neck taper shape to ensure a comfortable grip even near the body joint. The body features a cutaway and a tapered folk-style shape; it is all-solid, with Sitka spruce on the top treated with Yamaha’s proprietary “A.R.E. treatment” and rosewood for the sides and back. Using Yamaha’s proprietary analysis technology, we refined the bracing design, incorporating newly designed scalloped bracing on the top and bracing specifically developed for the cutaway on the back. This achieves a rich, full-bodied sound—despite the cutaway design—along with powerful resonance in the mid-to-low frequency range. The neck design is another hallmark of the A Series; through consultations with numerous guitarists, luthiers, and technicians, we’ve achieved exceptional playability. To ensure ease of playability even in the higher frets and a seamless transition for players switching
