Sorry I have been remiss returning to this thread. I was lucky enough to find a used Yamaha AC5R here in Pattaya. In the states I own R Taylor, McPherson, Martin and a Kevin Ryan. No, the Yamaha isn't as good as them but it is really nice once I got new strings on it. If I become poor at some point in life and this was the only guitar I could keep I'd not feel I was playing a substandard instrument.
Funniest part was I bought it from a young Thai man who is an ordained Catholic Priest. He made it easy and came to my hotel and let me try it. Even with old strings I knew it was a keeper.
