AC5R is a beast

I absolutely love this guitar. I've owned a lot of great acoustic guitars over the years and

this is definitely one of the best I've ever owned.

The only modification I did was lowering the action, I like it rather low, so

now it plays like a dream for me.

If this guitar had another name on it's headstock the price would most likely be double, even more

It's hard to believe that Yamaha is still this underrated after all these years.

Even their Chinese models are fantastic, I own 2 Chinese models from them, my brother and dad own a few and

they all play great and sound great.

In my honest opinion no one beats Yamaha when it comes to quality and price.

Pros:

- Plays phenomenal

- Sounds like it's been played for many years, big and open sounding

- Comfortable to play

- Electronics are great and easy to use, mic selection is easy to blend in usable sounds.

Cons:

Uhmmmmm.......

Great as expected!

This guitar is great in all aspects. Mainly it sounds perfect. I wanted to buy A5R but finally I decided to buy AC5R because it fits better to my finger playing style. I play guitar more then 35 years and I tried various guitar brands and types already. This one has great value for such money.
