Yamaha AC4KII Limited Koa Small Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Crafted from all-solid Hawaiian koa, the AC4KII Limited Koa acoustic-electric guitar features the A-Series cutaway small body shape, double-line abalone inlays and unique black tuning machine keys, together with specially recorded mic models on the SRT preamp for plugged-in tone that matches the acoustic sound.
Characteristic Appearance and Sound Offered by Selected All-Solid Hawaiian Koa
The AC4KII Limited's small body features an all-solid koa top, back and sides, imparting a dark and exotic look and feel to the guitar. A dense, tropical hardwood, solid koa combines an incredible midrange focus and top-end brightness, along with great midrange overtones, warmth and sweetness to the voice.
Scalloped Bracing with Cutting-Edge Acoustic Analysis Technology
Cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology developed by Yamaha led to the development of this model's special scalloped bracing pattern for the top board and shorter bracing than normal for the back board. This gives increased lower range, richer harmonic overtones in the midrange, with louder and stronger low-mid ranges.
SRT2 Pickup System Tuned Specifically for Koa Wood
The SRT2 pickup system, also developed by Yamaha, gives this guitar versatile acoustic-electric performance. The clear sound of the piezo pickup is ideal for cutting through a dense mix, and, for lush detailed resonance, the pickup system also provides studio-grade microphone emulations culled from a select handful of vintage studio condenser and ribbon mics. The guitar’s tone can be customized by mixing piezo and mic tones to find the optimal sound for any playing style.
