Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The AC5M is Yamaha’s concert-bodied, made-in-Japan acoustic-electric with solid mahogany back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce A.R.E. top. Its onboard SRT2 pickup system puts amplified operation within the instrument, while the single cutaway and 20-fret layout support work in the higher register. Yamaha also gives this model a straighter neck taper and hand-rolled fingerboard edges, details intended to make its neck feel more accommodating during playing. It is a right-handed six-string with a gloss natural finish.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or recording setups where an onboard SRT2 pickup system is needed.
- Playing parts that use the guitar’s upper register through its single-cutaway body.
