Discover the unparalleled craftsmanship and vintage-inspired tone of the Yamaha AC5M ARE Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, now available at Irvine Art and Music. Handmade in Japan with select tonewoods and premium build quality, this guitar offers a blend of traditional aesthetics and modern performance features.

Vintage Vibe, Modern Performance

Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the Yamaha AC5M delivers a rich, balanced tone with enhanced volume in the low-mid ranges. Thanks to Yamaha's A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) wood torrefaction treatment, the guitar's top gains greater stability and an attractive aged hue, ensuring exceptional resonance and projection.

Dynamic Bracing Design

The AC5M features new scalloped bracing for the top and shorter bracing on the back, allowing the guitar to resonate more naturally and with increased volume in the low-mid ranges. This innovative design, coupled with the traditional western body cutaway, provides a classic look with enhanced tonal characteristics suitable for a variety of playing styles.

Versatile Pickup System

Equipped with Yamaha's SRT2 pickup system, the AC5M offers versatile amplification options for both stage and studio performance. The SRT2 system allows you to blend between the under-bridge piezo pickup and modeled microphone signals, providing a personalized sound with natural clarity. Volume, treble, and bass controls, along with auto feedback reduction, offer precise tone shaping capabilities.
