I've owned he previous version of this guitar for several years. The electronics differ from the new version but the sound is still fantastic. The playability and durability of this guitar can not be overstated. Unplugged it is a good sounding guitar but it wouldn't be my first choice. It doesn't sound bad, but for the same money, if I was buying a guitar to be played primarily as an acoustic I would look at a different model. The AR3 really shines when it's plugged in. It's really well-built and the on-board preamp provides a large variety of tonal configurations that allow you to stand out on your own or in a band mix. I've used it for years for solo or duet pub shows and it stands its ground with any other guitar, regardless of price-point.

This is a very beautiful guitar with real solid woods, well made. It has a bright full sound with nice low base. The electronics are fantastic and reproduce acoustic sounds very well. The neck is the right size for me, for finger picking . You will not regret this guitar at all. I have many high end guitars and this one is as good if not better. Keep in mind that many guitars have different tones and they are all good..

This is absolutely the best all solid wood acoustic for the money.You would pay $3,000+ for some other more prestigious brand of the same quality.(I won't mention them).

This guitar is fantastic First solid rosewood body with a very playable neck doesn't come along at this price.range. Second the electronics in this guitar are second to none I recommend checking out a review on YouTube. I love this guitar and better players that myself have borrowed it are amazed at the electronics and sound.

I have bought and sold over 50 Yamaha guitars in the past six or seven years, most used, but this was one of the new -bought ones. I changed the strings to Elixir phosphorus bronze mediums, and the plastic saddle to graphite tusq, ( as I do to all my Yamaha's ) I am really happy with sound, plugged in or not. It has an excellent price point for solid wood, and really is a solid guitar. I have used it at campfires, and the beach without any adverse affects. Bought it for years ago, and will never let it go.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
