Brooks Robertson in the studio with the Yamaha A-Series guitars:


Spruce and Rosewood Body

Your Yamaha A3R acoustic electric's body is a combo of spruce for the top and rosewood for the back and sides. Spruce is a resilient tonewood that can handle scratches and dings well, while giving your sound a crisp edge. Rosewood tends to bring a nice amount of body and depth to the mix, in a fashion similar to mahogany. The combination of these two tonewoods will always provide your performance a hefty amount of sustain, resonance, and warmth.

Clean and Pristine System 63 SRT Electronics

Whether you're playing unplugged or going electric, each note of each string will always sound great on the Yamaha A3R. That's due to this axe's System 63 SRT electronics. The SRT saddle/piezo pickup setup responds well to read more the subtleties of your picking, as well as the human touch of your fingers if you're the type of player who employs dynamic fingerpicking techniques. "SRT" stands for Studio Response Technology, and that's what Yamaha is going for with this super-responsive pickup system.

Fast and Smooth Mahogany Neck with Ebony Fretboard

Wrap your hand around your A3R's slick ebony fretboard, and it won't want to let go. All 20 frets harness a close action that makes playing this appendage an absolute pleasure, and a mahogany neck will give each note plenty of sustain while also pushing the lows and mids.

Dressed to Thrill

Your Yamaha A3R looks just as wonderful as it sounds. Spruce has a pleasant linear grain pattern that's easy on the eyes, and it contrasts well against the ebony bridge at the bottom, with mahogany body binding to and a rosewood/mahogany soundhole rosette adding a stylish accent.

I play acoustic guitar for a living in the Florida Keys. I have a couple Taylors, a Breedlove and several other quality guitars. I bought this because I wanted a guitar for beach gigs and other rough environments that didn't cost alot, but played and sounded good. What I didn't realize at the time was that this guitar would give my instruments that cost MUCH more a real run for their money. The onboard electronics are the best I've ever used. It's become my primary gig guitar, I play it onstage 5-6 shows a week
