We’ve been finding some of the best acoustic guitars under $1500 are implementing electronics like the SRT2 system which is featured on the Yamaha A5R ARE acoustic electric guitar.  The tonal quality that carries through make this an ideal guitar for professional musicians as the value is something found in a guitar that could cost twice as much, so we would like to discuss it amongst best guitars.

9.9 Expert Score

If you are not a professional guitarist, don’t let its pro style keep you from splurging on this beautiful guitar.  It is so easy to play and enjoyable to hear that it will make any player yearn to practice and enjoy the journey. If you’re a pro that wants some more options, we’ve also got the model featured in this Martin 000 28EC review.
