The Yamaha A5R ARE is a premium Japanese-built electro-acoustic guitar designed for discerning players who demand exceptional tone, craftsmanship and stage-ready performance. Combining traditional dreadnought power with modern innovation, the A5R ARE delivers a rich, resonant voice that excels both acoustically and amplified.
Featuring a hand-selected solid Sitka spruce top enhanced with Yamaha's acclaimed A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment, the A5R offers the warmth, openness and maturity of a well-played vintage instrument from the very first strum. Solid rosewood back and sides add depth, clarity and impressive projection, while Yamaha's specially designed scalloped bracing enhances bass response and overall dynamic range.
Built in Japan to exacting standards, the A5R ARE features a comfortable cutaway dreadnought body, smooth-playing mahogany neck and premium ebony fingerboard, making it equally at home in the studio, on stage or during long practice sessions. High-quality appointments including a TUSQ nut and saddle, Gotoh open-gear tuners and a durable hard case complete this professional-level instrument.
For live performers, Yamaha's advanced SRT2 pickup and preamp system delivers one of the most natural amplified acoustic tones available. The innovative system blends the clarity of an undersaddle pickup with sophisticated microphone modelling, allowing players to recreate the sound of a professionally miked acoustic guitar through any PA or amplifier. With selectable microphone models, onboard EQ and feedback reduction, the A5R ARE provides outstanding versatility for any performance environment.
Whether you're a singer-songwriter, recording artist or gigging musician, the Yamaha A5R ARE offers premium materials, exceptional playability and inspiring tone that rivals instruments costing considerably more.
