«  A true crossover guitar scene. »

Published on 05/25/13 at 14:21
NA series is not young but making yamaha japan 80s is above suspicion, solid cedar table cutaway, solid rosewood back and sides, bridge, ebony fingerboard and head, mechanical pearl, mahogany 46 at nut, 14 frets, one is in high quality and sturdy. The varnish is not Chinese-micron, 30 years after a stroke of polish and it shines like the first day.
Although the electronic part is replaced by the b-band, AST and UST + A6T preamp which replaces perfectly the old system to micro air a little too adept feedback and cricri knobs.

UTILIZATION

The neck is like Yamaha or Ibanez Gibson Epiphone is perfect, of course it will be difficult to do arpeggios Asturias, but bought the 10NA to play classical, despite the "classic electric guitar" written at the top of the handle, we think that the engineers at yam had fever. my Admira is not likely to be dethroned on this classic issue. For everything else, from blues to jazz, bossa, the picking, the country is a gifted ... if only one branch because unplugged well she whispers, perfectly accurate and precise without being too out. This is the low bridge that becomes a quality once connected.
Its thick body, flat, massive, small oval mouth gypsy style makes sense with the amp and there you go, it collects all without flinching, or large acoustic amp Vox tube is comfortable, the is powerful, deep, without the painful buzzing electroacoustic dreadnougnt steel piezo is a stage guitar and with the b-band and Ust Ast, feedback not know even without tape. But beware, the b-band requires a lot of care in installation and manic precision, I put a post about it on B-Band AST / UST. This is the third I installed and there are mistakes to avoid ...

SOUNDS

I'm not a tenor of the guitar but I really think this yam is up to the best level apx 1200 or 2000. With nylon strings, of course, no crystalline surge
in the treble, a thud and powerful bass hyper, I repeat, if the installation of the electret under saddle is made in the rules balance between the strings is perfect, AST provides a welcome depth. Although the sound is a re-creation as always with Yamaha
but with the b-band is better than the condenser microphone and the original piezo.
I note 8/10 because the Yamaha sound can annoy sometimes it attracted because it is fair and beautiful
but when I take my Admira Spanish, so light and medium medium finish, I realize
how the sound that comes out is the "standard" classic, irreplaceable guitars and Yamaha
manufactures to perfection anything else.

OVERALL OPINION

For over a year, I learned a lot from this instrument, it is quite difficult for a land not under the sound is always just the perfect balance, easy barred, fast neck and amplification formidable even to peter windows efficiency, it is almost as much noise as my Epiphone 339 to say without stuttering. If you find one, check the handle well on the road truss is useful for the rest it does not fear the scene, the varnish is like vitrified unalterable youth ... For my part I take care, this is a collection of skyscrapers still with 30 years and 500 or 600 euros, a real guitar pro, it is much better than the factory chinoiserie certainly nice for fans. We still on the market, the latter have the rosewood instead of ebony, the weak point is the age of the electronics after 20 years, change inevitably.
