Here for sale we have a Yamaha ACM1 Electro Acoustic Guitar in Natural Gloss finish. Made in China in 2015, this guitar consists of a Solid Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, a 3-ply African Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Die-Cast Chrome tuners, a new scalloped bracing pattern for the A-series, a System72 Pre-Amp, and SRT Piezo pickup. The controls for the preamp are volume, a 3-band EQ, tuner, and mid-frequency control.
The 3-ply African Mahogany neck plays very well, with a profile which might be described as a 'C' shape. This offers a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register and encourages ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the register. The Rosewood of the fingerboard is luxurious under the fingers, and with its 15.75" radius is practical for a wide range of styles and techniques. The generous cutaway enhances access to the upper frets, really opening up the full range of the instrument.
The acoustic voice of the Yamaha ACM1 is rich and beautiful, and is very well balanced thanks to its concert-size body. This smaller stature helps it to avoid the 'boominess' often associated with larger bodies such as the dreadnought, bringing the less powerful high frequencies into focus. The on-board pickup and preamp system faithfully conveys the acoustic voice of the instrument, adding the versatility required for live and recording situations.

Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall good condition, the edges demonstrate very consistent indentation and chipping of the finish along the top edge, around the top corners and continuing down both treble and bass sides. The worst of these can be identified to the treble side of the nut, piercing the finish slightly.
Neck: Overall very good condition, the rear of the neck demonstrates light to moderate indentations throughout the register which can be somewhat felt beneath the thumb, not affecting the overall playability of the instrument. The fingerboard demonstrates light scratching throughout the register which cannot be felt beneath the string. The rear of the neck has buffed to a gloss through regular use.
Body: Overall good condition, all aspects of the body demonstrate consistent light to moderate scratching and indentation. This is most concentrated in three places - the front face lower bout, the center of the rear face and the treble side edges. Some of these markings pierce the finish revealing the wood beneath. We advise closely inspecting the photos provided for a better understanding of the body condition.
Condition of Frets:
The frets demonstrate moderate signs of use, with indentation in the early register quickly improving as you climb the neck. This does not affect playability. There is moderate material remaining for future fret work.
