This model lacks some of the embellishments of the A5 — the nut and saddle are made from urea, the tuners are a die-cast chrome model from Yamaha and the hardshell case is replaced by a hard bag. Beyond that, however, individual models can vary considerably both in specifications and in price. My go to guitars have been Takamine's for years now but I have to tell you the Yamaha silent is awesome for full band live work. The Yamaha A-Series Acoustic-Electric Guitars, Yamaha A3 and AC3 -Series with S.R.T. But eventually I'd like to lay down some serious coin on a fine Martin - Eric Clapton model (or something to that effect). I have not but might do so in the future. button, the pickup system instantly identifies the resonating frequency of the feedback that is occuring and notches it out of the output frequencies (Eq) for instant cancelling of any annoying or sudden feedback caused by ambience or environmental cues and feedbacks.

Over all I am happy with the sound plugged in. . Aaron, Hi Aaron, I just found your fabulous assessment of best acoustic guitars under $1000. . When I first wrote this post, it was unclear to me and the more research I have done, the more I realized that each model in the A-series has been professionally recorded. (Updated: January 22, 2016) The Yamaha A3R is our pick for best acoustic-electric guitar under $1000.

The four models in the A1 series are: While the A1, A3 and A5 make up the core of the A-Series, Yamaha is always introducing new models — such as the limited edition A4K and AC4K, which feature a solid Hawaiian Koa top, back and sides. Compressed meaning either less width or possibly flatter or tapered in thickness. Both have solid spruce tops, very similar tone woods, but the Yamaha LL16 is a Jumbo design, meaning that the guitar will most likely give more output in the bassy side of an acoustic guitar. Body Shape/Size: Dreadnought (though Yamaha call this one Traditional Western). However, once you understand how to read them, they're easy to decode.

Electronics: SRT electronics with system 66 Analog pre-amp, Electronics: SRT electronics with system 63 Analog pre-amp, Ebony fingerboard in place of the rosewood fingerboard – this isn’t a massive upgrade but I do personally slightly favor an ebony fingerboard over a rosewood one. I too purchased this terrific instrument based on your incredibly detailed review.

I got the AC3M because I already have two rosewood in my house.

The Yamaha A3R is equipped with a System 63 SRT -preamp offering both the analogue pickup signal, as well as three digitally modelled virtual microphones to pick from. Or said another way, it’s the AC3M except with Solid Rosewood back and sides. See bottom of this post for prices that you should expect to actually pay (the MSRP is seldom the same as the actual retail price with guitars). Despite my criticism I still believe I received excellent value for this purchase. As you can probably guess, the A3R is essentially the same as the A3M except for one difference, the back and sides are Solid Rosewood. Hi!

Let us know if you resolve it! It's a lot of information so it is easy to mix them up, especially when many companies use a "C" or "CE" in the model to express "Cutaway" or "Cutaway Electric". It comes with SRT Preamp/Pickup (which sounds amazing, more on that in a bit) and a super sturdy padded hardshell case.

The short-coming of this is that, while it may pick up the vibration differences between models, the subtle overtones created by tonewoods will not be heard, as they are detected through the air when using a condenser microphone. When you play on a “piezo-only” system, you lose all of the “air and wood” quality of the tonewoods and body style of the acoustic guitar (100% lost), ending up with a disappointing, electric and tinny sound that barely resembles the beautiful tones and overtones one would desire when playing an acoustic guitar or amping with just a studio microphone. This will be all personal preference, and I doubt you will be disappointed with your Takamine purchase. As they both have solid Sitka Spruce tops, these differences will be noticeable but subtle – and the top wood has more effect on tone than the back and sides. The way the ease the sides of the fret board and frets seems to reduce the neck width. As you can probably believe, it is difficult to keep up with all the advancements these companies are continuing to push in their guitars. Years ago a friend of mine had a Larrivee that had a solid flame maple back and sides, and the biggest difference I could hear and feel when playing was how little bass projection comes from flame maple, and how much more warmth and boomy bass comes from a solid Rosewood guitar body. Roberto-Correct! The solid rosewood will help to produce a noticeably different tone than the Mahogany back and sides. On the flip-side, the SRT uses 2 "AA" batteries with an on-board circuitry that literally "ramps" the voltage up to 11V, giving not only a better and more consistent performance, but giving a more stable battery life and reliability up until the batteries are nearly dead. On-board tuner for string tuning accuracy. The sound you will get from an A-Series guitar plugged in will be authentic, acoustic tone, although it is modeled with different mic settings, and not an actual microphone sound coming from your guitar.

That being said, the Yamaha Silent guitars are pretty awesome for the price and the ability to play silent, plugged in for performance or recording, or for travel! Solid (non-laminated) Rosewood back and sides, Dreadnought Body Size (most universal, full size acousic body), Concert Body Size (not as large as the Dreadnought, but a full size guitar that can carry any gig as well), Hardshell case (comes standard with all of them). The intonation is perfect and there are no dead notes anywhere on the fret board.

An all solid with wood bibding at this price? Known for its great tone and road-worthy build quality, the A-Series offers excellent value in all configurations.

Have you ever come across another guitar that has a built in actual mic and piezo system like the CPX1500? I called in and had an extensive discussion (with Ed- one of Yamaha's USA guitar technical experts) about the new SRT technologies as well as the 8 different A-series models that Yamaha offers to get the real scoop on these great guitars. It will be hard to find an equal match to this kind of microphone and piezo pickup quality on any acoustic electric guitar, even on guitars costing several thousands of dollars. And, other leading blenders on the market, boasting a blend between on-board microphone and piezo pickups do not carry this kind of studio realism.
