Made in Korea (South do not worry there is no bomb)
Mahogany body
Mahogany set neck
Plastic nut (yet it is not hard to graphite ... pfffff)
Fingerboard: Rosewood, 22 frets
Fixed bridge Yamaha Original Wrap-Around (remember: Chrome fixed bridge)
2 Yamaha humbuckers
Potentiometers: 1 volume, 1 tone both elegant
3-way switch: the "knob" unscrews a little but honestly nothing to fuck a cabinet Norman
Mechanical oil bath: no worries

I do not care about the value, these notes are given in absolute terms. If you look at the notes on Audiofanzine we say that Van Halen would note his guitar less a beginner's Squier. Personally I think it's a shame.

UTILIZATION

Neck: Varnish slightly sticky, slightly wider neck, but I can almost play the solo from Metallica, so it's not death

Access to acute: correct form for a Les Paul ... we play well until the 20th and 22nd box case is almost unplayable if you have the right finger (which should be your case) ... anyway this guitar is not made for that ... going to see Jackson or Ibanez for example, if the goal is to epileptic shredder on the length of the neck.

Weight distribution:
(-) Suppose I play guitar standing: the neck tends to fall when it releases a bit. No, I do not mean the time I had to let go of the neck to greet the Stade de France ... the problem is with the sticky varnish, bah we are forced to release a little to move his hand on the neck.
(+) Pretty lame Lopezien Jennifer, you want to hug. Otherwise, the back of the guitar is flat, allowing it to eat, or to flatten dough pies.

Weight: I have a bad back after 30 minutes of play up. If you want a light there is the RGX-A2 if I remember correctly, which has 2 humbuckers ditto, which is in the same price range and is very nice (the nicest guitars to beginners before the Squier Hello Kitty ... haha)

Do you get a good sound easy? : I not understand the question. By the strings you can get a sound. By connecting to the amplifier can amplify the sound. It's not too hard. After the quality of sound, cf. infra.

SOUNDS

To have it plugged into a Peavey amp transistor low-end, and an M-Audio Black Box (as the cheap stuff): a plump hot trend. Color rather heavy (remember: no simple micro). Basically, the detune, take you to Iommi of Black Sabbath and play (Iron Man, Black Sabbath ...) or, more generally, play the old Heavy Metal.
Its clean, it's not the foot (I do not like the fat in clean, which makes sense). Perhaps by plugging a tube amp of the highest thought would change my opinion but obviously you do not buy a guitar at € 300 for an amp to play on 3000. If? Make your hospital.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 7 months if my calculations are correct
- J'adooooore his face. While I like the more matte than gloss (remember it is polished and shines a lot).
- I do not know what it means a lot. Instinctively I would say "not much".
- Regarding the quality / price, I would quote from memory a friendly seller of the corner of Central and Central Guitars Guitars Guitars Central or I do not know: Yamaha AES is less expensive Epiphone, and over the finish may be a bit better (comparable to ranges) on the side of Yamaha. In general everyone will tell you that Yamaha is unbeatable value for money and is doing its job. In fact they are nice the Japanese, when they do not bomb a military port by surprise.
- With the experience I would buy a range of it because it's a shame, a plastic nut. And I purchase because Yamaha is reliable. I would buy less willing ... well ... a Fender Mexican Standard 5 years a Yamaha AES 5 years.

Conclusion: If you want to play the good old heavy (no speed / thrash / death / gnagnagna) metal, bought Yamaha AES-hand, cheek, and thanked me.
