DISC SPECIAL ORDER Yamaha AC4 Electro Acoustic, Solid Hawaiian Koa

Full Description

Solid Hawaiian Koa Construction

The Yamaha AC4 Electro Acoustic features a body constructed entirely from solid Hawaiian koa, which not only offers a beautiful visual appeal and superb tone, but delivers a sweeter, warmer tone with age. Additionally, Hawaiian koa provides the Yamaha AC4 with a beautifully focused mid-range and a bright, sparkling top-end and plenty of chime, contributing to its beautiful response to picking techniques. In addition, the more this solid wood construction is played, the more it opens up and provides the player with a richly-sweet, warm, and resonant acoustic voice. Furthermore, the AC4 also produces superb mid-range overtones, making it ideal for a wide variety of fingerpicking techniques.

Concert Cutaway Body

With its smaller concert cutaway body, the Yamaha AC4 provides a comfortable playing experience whilst offering great volume and projection. Larger than a parlour guitar and smaller than a dreadnought, the AC4 Electro Acoustic offers a wide tonal frequency with excellent sonic balance and response. Additionally, the combination of its solid wood build and concert body enables the guitar to respond particularly well to fingerpicking techniques, perfect for folk and country styles, as well as being ideal for composing with. Furthermore, for added comfort the AC4 features a cutaway profile, offering easy access to upper frets and more challenging chords, perfect for experimenting with more technical skills higher up the fingerboard without restriction of extra wood.

SRT2 - Studio Response Technology

Equipped with versatile and responsive SRT2 electronics, the Yamaha AC4 is perfect for live work, tours, studio settings, and session work. The Studio Responsive Technology electronics are designed to recreate the sound of a professional studio vintage microphone, ensuring the amplified tone is pure and natural. In addition, the Yamaha AC4 offers a choice between two different mic settings, which can both be blended with the piezo pickup. Furthermore, the SRT2 also features an auto feedback detector that prevents undesirable feedback when performing live.

African Mahogany Neck & Ebony Fingerboard

Constructed from African mahogany, the AC4's neck offers a quick and dynamic response with added warmth and resonance. In addition, mahogany's nature allows it to respond superbly to a wide variety of techniques whilst projecting each subtle nuance of an individual's playing style beautifully. Furthermore, the smooth playing neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard which adds a bright attack, plenty of bite and great sustain to the guitar's overall tone.

Latest A Series Bracing

The Yamaha AC4 features the A Series's latest scalloped bracing pattern, which not only prevents the guitar from collapsing under string tension but enhances the overall tonal output. Additionally, the AC4's scalloped bracing increases the guitar's volume whilst dramatically improving its low-end response. Overall, the A Series bracing pattern provides the player with a louder, richer, fuller-sounding guitar with increased volume and projection.
