Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a dreadnought body, the A5M pairs solid mahogany back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top treated with Yamaha A.R.E. Its SRT2 electronics, behind-the-saddle piezo configuration, 3-band EQ, and Auto Feedback Reduction make it equipped for amplified performance. A straighter neck taper and rolled fingerboard edges address access and feel farther up the neck, while the single cutaway extends that working range. Made in Japan, it arrives with a hardshell case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Amplified stage work needing onboard EQ, feedback reduction, and the SRT2 pickup system.
- Players working above the 12th fret who want a cutaway and straighter neck taper.
- Transporting the guitar in its included hardshell case.
