With natural, dynamic plugged-in tone and stage-ready simplicity from the new SRT2 pickup system; played-in comfort out of the box thanks to hand-rolled fingerboard edges on a straight taper neck; a custom designed scalloped bracing pattern for an all-new powerful, expressive acoustic tone and Yamaha's legendary road-ready construction to make sure it's ready when you are, night after night, the A Series is the perfect guitar to take your playing to the next level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSRT2 is a new pickup system developed independently by Yamaha, and optimized for stage performance. From a piezo sound that cut through when in a mix to a warm, pure acoustic sound that is like recorded by using the vintage microphone in the recording studio, SRT2 allows you to reproduce a sound that you can really use on stage. With SRT2 you can mix these two sounds to attain the exact balance you want to achieve a distinctive tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha's proprietary SRT pickup design uses individual elements for each string to give an ultra-clear, ultra-wide bandwidth signal with far better dynamic response and tonal accuracy than a regular, ribbon-type piezo pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new sound has been developed for the A-series that is louder and stronger in the low-mid ranges, thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology developed by the Yamaha R\u0026amp;D Division. Their analysis led to the development of the new scalloped bracing for the top board and shorter bracing than normal for the back board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtensive research with players, luthiers and guitar techs has given A-Series the feel and playability that today's acoustic-electric players want, whether switching from electric to acoustic on-stage, recording a session with intricate open tunings, or practicing at home. These superb guitars feature a straighter neck taper for easier high-fret playing, and hand-rolled fingerboard edges to achieve a played-in feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe simple, organic design features wood binding and other techniques that capture the warmth of wood. The distinctive shape of the pick guard, which stands out when performing, is a revival of the N1000 guitar that Yamaha released in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA-series guitars are equipped with Elixir NANOWEB 80\/20 Bronze Light strings to deliver a lively tone together with extended tone life that players have come to expect from Elixir Strings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30248896200781,"sku":"AC1M VN","price":799.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/8118\/5613\/products\/b7ef579329fef4c13c6f0b6beba6724b.jpg?v=1679427249","url":"https:\/\/musiccitycanada.com\/products\/yamaha-ac1m-vn","provider":"Music City Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
