View Full DescriptionFlawless Yamaha innovation
Yamaha want you to be creative, and they've provided the means in this guitar. The redesigned scalloped X bracing mounted underneath the Sitka top brings a bevy of benefits. Your guitar will be extra strong thanks this new design, preventing body collapse due to string tension.
Ultimately, this encourages you to explore any playing style with the A1R. Fast, aggressive strumming is as much at home here as gentle fingerpicking. Whatever your game, the Yamaha A1R wants to sing it perfectly.
Crafted by experts
The use of rosewood in the back and sides gifts the A1R serious tonal depth thanks to the dense characteristics of the material. Yamaha have taken full advantage of this fact and have made sure to mould this into a shape to provide the maximum resonance gains. Levelling out the harsh frequencies of the higher end to prevent out of place piercing notes, the rosewood is all about balanced ranges.
Aside from its tonal benefits, rosewood is also fantastically durable. Paired with scalloped X bracing, you've got a guitar that will last a lifetime of performances. The cutaway shape of the body enables easy access to the higher frets, enhancing the playability of the guitar. Lastly the solid Sitka spruce top articulates the higher frequencies with gleaming clarity ensuring the detail of each note is captured.
