Bought new in 2007, mine is dark blue, Discontinued ... Wood, 500 euros
Warning this is not RGX620Z DZ 24 frets
Made in Japan probably in any case very carefully.
Alder body with flamed maple top superb.
Floyd type bridge but on special yamaha 2 pivots, very easy to solve (2 allen keys, 1 for the action the other for tuning forks) and does not upsets.
Maple neck rosewood fingerboard, bolt 4 screws, 350 mm radius rather flat, satin-back.
Mechanical oil bath-lock.
22 frets, 2 humbucker Alnico V.
1 volume, 1 tone, 1 3-position selector, no split.
I put 8 as the note because the position of the volume is average, it sometimes hangs.


UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, he excels at racing speed, flat, thin, without exaggeration and satin back, this helps. It is also perfect for my big fingers have suficient space. I played a 200 before Cort with a back handle painted nail, I can not foot since the arrival of the Yam.
The ergonomics are very good (only the position of the gene sometimes volume, except perhaps for the followers of violoning). The lever of vibrato is perfectly placed, it can adjust its hardness rotation thanks to a screw allen. The weight does not bother me, but I play mostly sitting. The contours of the body are very comfortable.
access to acute is flawless thanks to a rounded shape of the body to liaise with the handle.


SOUNDS

The sounds are superb, the microphones Yamaha Alnicos 5 are of excellent quality, powerful and with good definition. I feast with the intermediate position that I find the coolest and most versatile (even for the blues), but it can harder with the micro acute for those who enjoy big sounds.
I put 10 for use because it must be remembered that this guitar is only worth 500 euros, it is really value for money (who does not buy happiness ... but in this case IF!)
The sounds, I've already talked a little, for blues and rock is saturated even perfect. For hard I think others will prefer other mics even more powerful.
For years sounds cleans 75 to 80 it is less suitable then I add a pedal Zoom G2 and Micro acute when I play with headphones. Otherwise I take my Fender Stratocaster that I speak to you again.
The amps I use are a little Vox DA5 and a Marshall (no star) MG30DFX. It is on the Vox that I play most often because there are good effects and good emulations, plus I'm in an apartment and you can set it to 0.5 watt.
Sounds a lot like me and maple table has to be for many.
I put 9 because the report still fun money.


OVERALL OPINION

I've played quite a few years but only with friends or alone at home, never on stage.
So my ratings are taken with all precautions.
I use it for 3 years. I have other guitars, Squier, Fender, Cort and 620 is my favorite.
Its main qualities: in the comfort of a game round in 2 versatile microphones, perfect for a beginner who wants to improve I saw once used at 300 euros.
Its defects: no big deal, details, in a volume that catches my right hand (I'll have to cut it?), In 2 the selector who bugged once or twice.
The quality / price is very very good, € 500 new. To compare with my Fender used (which is more expensive) the Yam is better finished and more comfortable.
