The Yamaha A1R is a traditional western-style cutaway acoustic-electric guitar designed for rich tone, smooth playability, and reliable stage performance. It features a solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped bracing, providing excellent projection, dynamic response, and a clear, balanced tone. Paired with rosewood back and sides, the A1R delivers deep lows, bright highs, and a warm midrange—perfect for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. Equipped with Yamaha’s proprietary SRT piezo pickup system, the A1R offers natural-sounding, high-quality amplified tone that’s ideal for live shows, studio sessions, or casual jam nights. Whether you're on stage or unplugged, this guitar is built to sound great and feel even better in your hands.
