Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha’s A5R is a made-in-Japan folk acoustic-electric with solid rosewood back and sides, paired with a hand-selected solid Sitka spruce top treated with A.R.E. The SRT2 system is designed for stage use and lets you blend its piezo sound with a studio-recorded acoustic sound, with two microphone types available for selection. A cutaway, 20 frets, straighter neck taper, and rolled fingerboard edges shape the playing layout. The guitar is supplied with a hardshell case.
Strong match
Who this is for
