Looks great and sounds even better

love the clean, crisp sound of this acoustic. and love the size. Not the dreadnought but equally big sound

Everything I expected and more.

Plays well. Low action thanks to the tech crew. Thanks to Mason Hunter team for making this happen. Viewing the pics before receiving the guitar was really nice. Can't say enough about the folks at Sweetwater......Even the phone operator is wonderfully polite.

Love it. Has many built in features that a more expensive guitar has. Good tone qualities like an expensive guitar has. Really like fret marks also. Good looking guitar.

Love, love, love

If you closed your eyes, you might think you were playing a much, much pricier acoustic. This thing sounds amazing! And, the harder you strum it the more it comes to life. Sounds good when finger picking too. I've only plugged it in a few times and the pickups sound good if you're into the acoustic electric sorta thing. I mainly use it to record with in the studio where it definitely… read more holds it's own! Enough said. This is a great work horse that won't let you down. Stop shopping around and grab one of these before they run out!

AC1R yamaha after 60 days.

I've been in need of a new stage guitar for a few months since my preamp died in the Greg Bennett that I've worked for the past 5 years. It's been repaired but lost its mojo .While shopping for a replacement... I tested the AC1R yamaha. Off the wall hanger it was playable,comfortable, and had a strong full voice . As usual a sales person was not to be found so I left. Some weeks… read more later I took a trip from Detroit to Fort Wayne to get a better visit with the Yamaha's, I played a number of the A series as well as the red tag models thanks to the sale team at Sweetwater. This made for a great environment to find the perfect replacement stage guitar. I have sense played 25 solo shows on the instrument and only changed strings. Its stable and the preamp is natural and warm .Hats off to Yamaha and of course Sweetwater .Jimi-k

A welcomed workhorse added to the stable.

I write on Acoustic as many also do. But I had always been an electric player onstage, since I prefer heavy genres of music.But I also am a fan of acoustic styles like Bluegrass and Classical.I had started picking up gigs with an acoustic act, that has picked up more gigs.My main acoustics are aged and vintage Gibson's and 000's.Age has made them a little temperamental to winter… read more gigs. I picked up this Yamaha to be my gigging guitar.I am now recording it and writing on it as well. It has songs in it. If you understand that.I am now considering an AC5R from my experience with this one.Worth double it's price in play-ability and tone, both plugged and unplugged.Great neck, stable, easy to use preamp for live tone.Win Win!Thank You Aaron Tremain and Sweetwater
