Perfect for live performances

The SRT2 pickup system is a game changer. It sounds exactly like a miked acoustic guitar through the PA system. The build quality is impeccable as expected from the Japan-made line.

Beautiful tone and playability

I upgraded from an A1R and the difference in resonance due to the solid rosewood back and sides is immediately noticeable. Very comfortable neck profile.

Worth every penny

This instrument has incredible projection and clarity. The cutaway design makes accessing higher frets very easy during solos.

Great guitar, minor setup needed

Out of the box, the action was slightly high for my taste, but after a quick professional setup, it plays like a dream. The electronics are top-notch.

Excellent craftsmanship

The finish is flawless and the tuning stability is excellent. I deducted one star only because the gig bag was not included, but the guitar itself is perfect.

Studio quality sound

I use this primarily for recording and the balanced tone requires very little EQ. The solid spruce top opens up nicely after a few weeks of playing.
