Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Yamaha A5R ARE is a premium, stage-ready dreadnought built for professional players who demand powerful acoustic tone, refined craftsmanship, and reliable amplified performance. Handcrafted in Japan, this traditional western cutaway guitar features Yamaha’s exclusive A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment on a solid Sitka spruce top, delivering a mature, broken-in response with enhanced warmth, projection, and dynamic range straight out of the case.
Paired with solid rosewood back and sides, the A5R ARE produces a rich, full-bodied voice with deep bass, clear highs, and excellent note separation. New scalloped bracing boosts volume and resonance, while the SRT2 pickup system provides natural, studio-quality plugged-in tone for live performance. With a comfortable neck profile, premium hardware, and a supplied hardshell case, the A5R ARE is built to perform night after night on stage or in the studio.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
