Part of Yamaha's intermediate-level A-Series acoustic-electric guitars, the ACR Concert Cutaway acoustic-electric features a stunning, fresh-looking, all-rosewood body and hand-selected solid Sitka spruce A.R.E. top paired with Yamaha's flagship System 63 Modeling Preamp and SRT2 (Studio Response Technology) undersaddle pickup. The AC3R's concert-sized cutaway design and neck profile offer amazing playability for the modern player requiring a reliable workhorse that'll look, feel and sound amazing in all settings for years to come. The System 63 gives you a ton of ways to shape your tone, with low, mid and high knobs, three microphone models with blend, a focus/wide switch to control mic proximity, AFR feedback reduction, and even a resonance knob. Other appointments on this performance-level "bang-for-your-buck" guitar ?include a 3-ply mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge, urea nut and saddle, mahogany and cream binding, a tortoise pattern pickguard, and black ABS with white dot bridge pins.?

If you're not familiar with the SRT2 system,?it was 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. The mics used are a Neumann U67 and KM56 as well as a Royer R122.
