Product Overview
Constructed entirely from solid premium tonewoods, the AC3R ARE represents Yamaha's commitment to bringing cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship together in one remarkable instrument. The solid Sitka spruce top has been enhanced through Yamaha's proprietary A.R.E. process, which uses controlled temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure to replicate the natural aging process that occurs over decades of playing and environmental exposure.
The solid rosewood back and sides provide rich, complex overtones and exceptional sustain, while the scalloped bracing pattern allows the top to vibrate more freely for increased volume and tonal complexity. The concert body cutaway design offers the perfect balance between intimate fingerstyle projection and comfortable upper fret access for lead work and complex chord voicings.
Yamaha's revolutionary SRT2 (Studio Response Technology 2) electronics system represents a breakthrough in acoustic guitar amplification, combining a piezo pickup with advanced digital processing to capture the guitar's natural voice with unprecedented accuracy. The system includes multiple microphone modeling options, comprehensive tone shaping controls, and anti-feedback circuitry for professional stage performance.
