The Korena take

Yamaha’s A1M is a right-handed cutaway dreadnought acoustic-electric with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Its SRT2 pickup works with the System 66 preamp for amplified use, placing volume, a built-in tuner, three-band EQ, and a midrange frequency slider on the guitar. The cutaway provides access to the upper frets, and the rosewood fingerboard and bridge complete a straightforward performance-focused acoustic-electric layout.
