Overview

Not a bare acoustic and not a thin-body hybrid, this Yamaha guitar is a full dreadnought cutaway with a spruce top and an SRT piezo system built in. Scalloped bracing under the top and a mahogany body shape its unplugged voice.

Plug-and-play stage tone and a slim mahogany neck make it comfortable for long sets.

Who it's for

Players moving from the bedroom to small stages get a full-body acoustic with electronics already fitted. Left-handed players and those who never plan to plug in can save the extra hardware.

Performance notes

Unplugged volume comes from the dreadnought body and the scalloped bracing, which lets the top move more freely. Plugged in, the SRT piezo reads string vibration at the saddle, so the sound tracks attack and dynamics. The satin neck finish reduces grip on the hand during shifts.
