Hi. I've been looking at getting a better acoustic/electric. Went in with fender in mind and came out thinking Yamaha. The a1r sounded real good and was also quite surprised at a couple of the Ibanez models. Anywayyyyy...they didn't have a Yamaha a3m or r model in stock for me to try and now I'm wondering if I should go back and grab the a1r or wait until I can try the a3 ones when they come in. Anyone know if the all solid a3 series is significantly better sounding than the laminate body a1 series? Can't afford a solid Taylor but the a series Yamaha sound excellent to my ears. Open to other suggestions. Tried couple of seagulls and they sounded quite good too but not sure about the necks
