Yamaha AC5R ARE
Im embarrassed to say ive only had this Yamaha a couple of months yet here I am advertising it for sale. So its as new. It’s a lovely guitar with the biggest sounds of all my acoustics, but I do have more guitars than I need so I always have a few for sale (and the more expensive of them are more likely to sell). My luthier is very impressed with it, (Japanese made and all that) and my girlfriend loves it so they won’t be unhappy if it doesn’t sell. Im asking $1745 ono. There is plenty on line about this guitar, including the great reviews you’d expect for top of the line Yamaha, but here is some info:
The AC5R ARE, concert body cutaway guitar, features all-solid rosewood back and sides with hand-selected sitka spruce top with Yamaha's original A.R.E. wood-torrefaction technology. Natural, dynamic plugged-in tone from the SRT2 pickup system perfectly suit your performance on the stage and the made-in-Japan premium build quality will gratify advanced players' desire. Designed to be the ideal performance acoustic guitar, the Yamaha A series is crafted from the ground up to be perfectly suited to life on the road. With natural, dynamic plugged-in tone and stage-ready simplicity from the new SRT2 pickup system; played-in comfort out of the box thanks to hand-rolled fingerboard edges on a straight taper neck; a custom designed scalloped bracing pattern for an all-new powerful, expressive acoustic tone and Yamaha's legendary road-ready construction.
SPECS Body 14-fret concert-size cutaway; torrefied solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped X-bracing; solid rosewood back and sides; ebony bridge with 2.125″ string spacing; natural gloss finish Neck Mahogany neck; ebony fretboard; 25.6″ scale length; 1.6875″ Tusq nut; chrome Gotoh tuners; satin finish Other Elixir Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze Light strings (.012–.053); hardshell case.
With more than 50 years of making guitars under its belt, Yamaha has long been known for instruments that guitarists like. By bringing in modern, player-friendly features like a broken-in feel and improved electronics—while also ratcheting up vintage vibe and feel—Yamaha is making guitars that guitars players will love.
The AC5R has an elegant appearance, with a simple wooden mosaic rosette, complemented by mahogany binding and back strip. The top has a rich amber tone; and the back and sides are a deep, chocolaty brown. The guitar is nicely built. Its medium frets are cleanly dressed and seated and smooth at their edges; its bindings are tight and flush. The body’s glossy finish is cleanly applied, and so are the braces and kerfing inside the guitar.
The satin-finished neck has a relatively shallow C profile, which, combined with low action and those rolled fretboard edges, makes it strikingly sleek and comfy. It feels just as effortless to hold barre chords for extended stretches as it does to play brisk single-note runs and even bend the strings. When I strummed some basic chord progressions in standard and dropped-D tunings, I appreciated the guitar’s strong but not overpowering low-end presence, not to mention its overall clarity. Meanwhile, some fingerpicked arpeggios revealed its warm sustain. Its sounds are very good and versatile, whether played with a pick or the fingers.
Yamaha’s SRT2 pickup-and-preamp system comes standard on the ACR5. The preamp’s four controls—volume, bass, treble, and blend—are situated on the upper bass bout, and their shallow dials make them unobtrusive. The SRT2 allows you to blend the sound of an under-bridge piezo with the preamp signal, which models the sound of the guitar being miked with either a Neumann U 67 or Royer R-122 in the studio.
I tested the AC5R through a Fender Acoustasonic amplifier and found that a 50/50 blend of the pickup and preamp’s Neumann setting yielded a satisfyingly natural sound, while using the pickup on its own yielded a cutting sound that would work well for lead work.

I didn’t actually use it beyond trying it out back then. There are about 50 backing track CDs. A lot (or maybe all) are on a 32 gig stick I put together back then.

- exercise bike for arms and legExercise bike $30. Works fine for doing what it has to do. You push and pull with your arms and your legs and ride it like a bike. In other words it exercises your legs and arms and you set the amount of resistance you want. I used it for a few months and it certainly helps you get fitter! The meter doesn’t seem to be working but I didnt need that.$30Peachester, QLD•9w
