YamahaA-Series A3R Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Soft Case, Vintage Natural

This guitar is well-built with a decent sound - bright highs and moderate lows. The finish is nice, and I especially like the wooden edging on the body, which gives it the feel of a higher-end instrument. The neck is thin and smooth, and it seems they’ve improved the finish compared to A-series models from 5-6 years ago. The fretboard is comfortable to play, though some of the fret edges are a bit sharp. It’s worth noting that while the guitar comes with a sound hole cover and Elixir strings, there was no truss rod key included. Action is a bit high, so you may want to lower the bridge.

this guitar is a little more pricey than others listed, but is WORTH it. a very solid guitar, and consistent. if playing-as just an acoustic, it is warm, yet sparkles. wonderful accessible action! a neck that feels right at home. This case fits it perfectly!!! (Yamaha AG3-Hard Case Concert Size Hardshell Acoustic Guitar Case) This guitar also has as a built in tuner which is at first sounds (like eh) but turns out to be a real treat to have with you all the time. the electronics are very nice sounding as well. also comes with a sound hole cover (not a coaster for your coffee) this helps if there are any feedback issues when playing out through a PA. Yamaha has made a wonderful solid guitar for playing gigs around town, or just having in your house to share with friends or family. Not to mention this guitar will hold up in any studio. you do not need a thousand$ guitar to satisfy all your needs. not cheap, but well worth every dollar. highly recommend, and the purchase through Amazon, they helped all along the way!!!

Good little guitar

I get this one couple day ago the sound is good

There's nothing I don't like about this A3M guitar. I received it 12 hours ago, and I must have played 5-6 hours....I just can't put it down! The look, the feel, the sound....all of it. I have been guitar hunting for a while, and I'd set my mind on getting a Yamaha. If I could avoid spending too much money, I would, so I ordered 3 different guitars: a FGC-TA ...it arrived with terrible fret buzz and I returned it. Then I got the popular FGX830C....It arrived in a completely destroyed box with the guitar covered in dust. I tried it and really liked it. The 830 offers great value, and it IS a good guitar. BUT! Today the A3M arrived....and boy oh boy !!! Ok. So, the A3M comes with a bag and costs $ 1000. The 830 is about $ 550 but then you have to pay $ 150 for a case; so figure $ 700. Is the A3M worth the extra $ 300? Oh yes - you better believe it is. I would say it is worth A LOT more than that. Normally my fingers would be hurting like H... after playing acoustic for 5-6 hours...but they are not hurting at all! The rolled edges and the butter-smooth feeling of the A3M strings and fretboard....I am blown away (can you tell?). Yamaha...thank you for making such a guitar available at such an attractive price point....this guitar easily competes with guitars costing 2-3 times more. I had really hoped to spend a little less money, but now that I got it....totally worth it. This guitar is gonna stay with me.April 11th UPDATE:Plugged the guitar into my Boss Katana 100 Artist amp yesterday evening......no sound.This is a sad day. Witing for Yamaha to respond. I may have to return this one.

Absolutely love this guitar! I am a 20 year beginner playing, and this has opened my eyes to how important finding a guitar that is right for you is! I bought a Martin D-10E a month ago. LOVED it, but after a few weeks of ownership, the neck warped beyond repair and I had to return it.I was devastated because it sounded so dang good. Then I found this guitar while researching. It has an incredible sound and is SO easy to play. The Tobacco Sunburst is gorgeous. I look forward to playing this for years to come and passing it down!

After a lot of research and and reading a lot a reviews my Wife decided to surprise me and ordered this guitar online. What can I say she loves me and wanted to surprise me. We got a box that looked like it had been kicked around by Godzilla. The guitar itself was not damaged but brings me to my point. I'm so dissapointed with this it's not funny. It buzzes on so many notes it will drive anyone crazy. Now my wife ordered it online. I know not what I would do but bless her heart she tried. I've been playing for 30 years and know it will take a lot of work to set it up and get it to sound half decent. Don't buy one of these online without playing it. Now I'm stuck with a 800 dollar buzz box and a sad wife. Thanks.

I was very impressed when I received this guitar and began to play it. It is comfortable to hold, has a nice sound and it is really impressive looking. I would recommend this guitar to anyone who needs a quality instrument without breaking the bank. Just get it, you won’t be disappointed!!
