The sounds wonderful and you're playing is superb. I've been waiting for a long time for Yamaha to come out with a guitar like this. A cutaway with solid wood and acoustic resonance enhancement. It looks and it sounds like a guitar that cost three times what this does.
I just ordered this guitar a few days ago cant wait to get it... got it new on a discount but what really bothers me is no hard case, I can't buy the original Yamaha cases here in Europe because they don't sell any and it doesn't really fit in any other case for guitars this size because unlike most the body is deeper on the AC series and I have no idea what to do now... (edit: can't try out any cases because where I live no guitar stores are close to me).
@@user-zc4rn8no1j around 990€ at a discount, honestly can't compare it to anything but many people from beginners to pro musicians that have tried it said that it was a good instrument, personaly I think mine needs a setup and might change out the nut and saddle (no need really just maybe a future upgrade) played it live at a rock orchestra event (around 150 people on stage playing) and it was more or less a joy to play and it sounds good even plugged in as it sounds unplugged.
I went for the ac3m. The same as you played but with mahogany b&s. Much more mellower and boomy! To my ears, rosewood sounds too bright with less bass… but anyway great review!
Yeah, same here. Thought that the ac3r was a bit too bright for my ears. The ac3m is a bit richer, warmer sound. I replaced the plastic nut and saddle with bone nut and saddle and it definitely makes a difference.
Gorgeous guitar! Great demo!
You’re a big hearted man. Great review
thanks

super
I don't recall ever playing a bad sounding Yamaha instrument. Yamaha makes excellent quality musical instruments
@@oliver7763 yes they do
even their entry level guitars are good
Question: Why does Yamaha keep using urea for their guitars even if they’re more expensive like this one?
I got this guitar for $300 from a guy who was moving. Great condition. Love it so much.
that’s great what a great find
THANK YOU 😊
Grear vid! Any set up tips? Did you lower the action etc?
A new fan here man
great
I literally just got that guitar yesterday!
super … enjoy her and play it with good health
Once upon a time there was the AC6r. It was really great unfortunately, it was a limited run
What's so special about FMI as opposed to bone?
Hello! Could you compare AC5R and FSX5? This would be very helpful for people who are looking for a good concert guitar.
FS5 is better 100% . With this one you have the full package though

I just got the AC3M DLX (mahogany) and I love it! Fantastic quality and less than half what a similar Taylor would cost.
Try a guild case for om 150ce ask sweetwater they will check if it fits
Which one is better in terms of bass the ac3m or ac3r?
rosewood
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore thank you.
can you review the guild om150ce? have you played that guitar?
i don’t think i have played that model
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore which one is better the yamaha fg3 or the AC3R? Or which one is more bass?
@@shutterKeebs1127 FG3 more bass
There is no actual "mic" but rather two IR mic captures as well as a Piezo bridge pickup. I own the Japanese version.
my bad man i was in a rush
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore All good, I just thought I would chime in since I own one similar. Peace.
@@TheChristafershawn thanks man
New fan here, which one you prefer Yamaha LS16ARE or this AC3R? Need ur advice, man!
ls16
Sounds great
How much ?👏🏾✌🏼🏴👍🏽
sure does

that’s great ..
Make no sense, Rosewood produce more bass than Mahogany
@@phanhuyduc2395 but the way the top is brace can enhance or contain the bass response
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore This is the same model so they are built identical except the back and side
Yeah, same here. Thought that the ac3r was a bit too bright for my ears. The ac3m is a bit richer, warmer sound.
I replaced the plastic nut and saddle with bone nut and saddle and it definitely makes a difference.
Why didn't you let us hear the pickup sound? Probably the most important aspect for musicians playing live.
well my setup is design for only acoustic recording and not plugged in
