Positioned within the upper tier of Yamaha’s A Series lineup, the A3R combines all-solid tonewoods, professional-grade electronics, and player-focused comfort into a platform built for real-world performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid Sitka spruce top features Yamaha’s A.R.E. Acoustic Resonance Enhancement treatment, helping the guitar feel more open and responsive from the start. Paired with all-solid rosewood back and sides, the A3R produces a broad and harmonically rich voice with deep lows, shimmering highs, and excellent sustain. It responds especially well to dynamic strumming, open chord work, and players looking for greater tonal complexity and projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Traditional Western body shape draws inspiration from classic dreadnought designs while incorporating a more modern and comfortable playing feel. It delivers strong low-end presence and room-filling projection while maintaining enough balance and articulation for more expressive playing styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor live performance, Yamaha’s SRT2 pickup and preamp system provides a more natural amplified response with onboard microphone modeling and blend controls that help preserve the guitar’s acoustic character when plugged directly into a PA or recording setup. The controls feel practical, intuitive, and designed for working musicians rather than overcomplicated feature lists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall construction, fit, and finish reflect Yamaha’s long-standing reputation for consistency and reliability. With its all-solid rosewood build, ebony appointments, and advanced electronics platform, the A3R ARE delivers the kind of stage-ready performance serious acoustic players often look for in a long-term working instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTraditional Western cutaway body design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid Sitka spruce top with A.R.E.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid rosewood back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScalloped bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSRT2 pickup and preamp system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOnboard microphone modeling and blend control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEbony fingerboard and bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for professional live and studio performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Traditional Western Body Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 650 mm (25 9\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Length: 505 mm (19 7\/8\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTotal Length: 1046 mm (41 3\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Width: 412 mm (16 1\/4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Depth: 100–118 mm (3 15\/16\"–4 5\/8\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 43 mm (1 11\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eString Spacing: 11 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop Material: Solid Sitka Spruce A.R.E. with Scalloped Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBack Material: Solid Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSide Material: Solid Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: African Mahogany (3-Ply)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: R400 mm (15 3\/4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Urea\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: Urea\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: Black ABS with White Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuners: Die-Cast Chrome (TM29T)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Mahogany + Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSound Hole Inlay: Abalone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickguard: Transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectronics: SYSTEM71 (SRT2 System) + SRT Piezo Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: Volume \/ Bass \/ Treble \/ AFR \/ SRT Blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnections: LINE OUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings: Elixir NANOWEB 80\/20 Bronze Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccessories: Hex Wrench, 2 x AA Batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCase: Hard Bag Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Buy From Rain City Guitars\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Yamaha Canadian Dealer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurated by musicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessionally inspected before shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast secure shipping across Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Tobacco Brown Sunburst","offer_id":46794415308937,"sku":"A3R-TBS","price":1469.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/7299\/3417\/files\/yamaha-A3R-TBS-PP-JPG.jpg?v=1779492127","url":"https:\/\/raincityguitars.com\/products\/yamaha-a3r-tobacco-brown-sunburst-acoustic-electric-guitar","provider":"Rain City Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
