Outstanding amplification

A-Series guitars are fitted with an SRT Piezo pickup, designed to use the individual elements for each of the strings. This helps to produce an ultra-clear and ultra-wide bandwidth signal to deliver an excellent dynamic response. The tonal output of the SRT system possesses exceptional tonal accuracy.

Unrivalled natural projection

Through feedback, extensive research, analysis, and development, Yamaha has managed to create a new scalloped bracing pattern for the A-Series. The new pattern allows for more volume, more projection, increase in the low and mid-end, and a bigger tone. The bracing also allows the resonance of the guitar to sit closer to the middle resulting in greater and more balanced sound pressure. You’ll get unbelievable dynamic range.

A.R.E treated solid sitka spruce top

A.R.E stands for Acoustic Resonance Enhancement. This patented process gives the top the appearance and sound of a guitar that has undergone the natural aging process. A.R.E works by crystallizing the cellulose fibres within the wood, which breaks down the hemicellulose and binds the cellulose together. This allows the timber to vibrate and resonate more freely, resulting in the warm tonal response of aged wood.
