Choice of Rosewood or Mahogany Back and Sides

Rosewood models offer well-balanced tone from low to high, while mahogany provides rich mid-range with quick response.

SRT2 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

What's more, the ability to select from two different mic types lets you choose the optimal sound for your playing style and for the song you are performing. (SRT2 is applied to the A5 and A3 only.)

SRT Pickup

Yamaha'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.

A new sound has been developed for the A-series that is louder and stronger in the low-mid ranges, thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysA 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&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.

Also, treating the tops with Yamaha's exclusive A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) process gives the instrument a rich, vintage quality tone, making it sound as though you'd been playing it for years from the very first moment you pick an A-series guitar up. (A.R.E. processing is applied to the A5 and A3 only.)

New Bracing

Overall increases across the lower range. Richer harmonic overtones in the mid range.

Bekväm halsprofil

Yamaha har forskat rejält tillsammans med musiker, gitarrbyggare och tekniker, vilket har gett A-series den känsla och spelbarhet som dagens gitarrister vill ha, vare sig de spelar in i studio eller uppträder på scenen eller övar hemma.

A5 Grade Available

Made in Japan, the A5 is the flagship model in Yamaha's renowned A-Series acoustic guitars. Featuring high-quality binding on both the head and body, all A5 instruments come equipped with Gotoh's renowned open gear tuners, delivering the accuracy and reliability that professionals demand. From cut-through piezo sound to warm, pure acoustic sound, which is like recorded with vintage microphones in the professional studio, SRT2 allows you to reproduce a sound that you can really use on stage.

Enkelt distinkt utseende

Den enkla, organiska designen med trä-bindings och andra tekniker fångar värmen av träet. Plektrumskyddet påminner om den klassiska gitarren N1000 som Yamaha släppte 1975.
