UTILIZATION

The main advantage of the guitar is its weight and that's also the reason I bought it.

The machine heads look good at first sight but their shape present some disadvantages. They are slippery when you sweat. And get dirty pretty quick. They are not compatible with string winders. I replaced the original low E tuner with another machine head to quickly tune the guitar in drop D.

in the beginning, the color changing LED is stunning but it's silly to make a battery compartment in the guitar only for this feature. And on top of that the toggle switch is difficult to use. I replaced the volume control...…

in the beginning, the color changing LED is stunning but it's silly to make a battery compartment in the guitar only for this feature. And on top of that the toggle switch is difficult to use. I replaced the volume control and the toggle switch.

SOUNDS

Interesting sound! The pickups sound good considering the price. I don't like the bridge pickup a lot because it has not enough punch compared with the neck pickup. The clean sound is nice but the distorted sound shows that the pickups have not enough definition.

The pickups are soap bar sized (I mention it in case you plan to upgrade them).

I play with a Vox AC30 CC1, a TC Vintage Predrive and a JMB Devil Inside.

OVERALL OPINION

Almost one year. The weight is the main advantage.

I bought it on the web so I didn't try any other guitars when I bought it. I previously owned about twenty different guitars (no high-class instruments).

I would buy it again because it has no competitor in its weight or price range. I don't like the "ipod" design. Even on the black model (like mine) the binding looks cheap. Machine heads, toggle switch and control must be upgraded.

Made in Taiwan

UTILIZATION

The trick of this guitar is the ultra light weight and look so white ipod like mine.
Easy to use, no tone, no vibrato, volume, and a knob for changing micro 3-position with a light green or blue depending on the microphone used. It's nice. This knob is also a little hard to handle
The guitar is very easy to play.

This is my third Yamaha quality is there, also the style and comfort of a lightweight makes the guitar very handy.

Very good instrument!

I will not repeat the features, which can be found everywhere.
Just to clarify: the pickups are passive, allowing the battery only serves to illuminate the switch 3 positions for viewing (blue or green) which are connected microphones.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice.
The balance (seated operation) is good.
The tuning holds very well over time.
Depending on the size of your hands, it is possible that the pick falls a little on the pickups, but not annoying though.
The sound is very neutral, which allows, with a Korg Pandora in my case, to have access to an amazing range of sounds.

SOUNDS

Personally, I do not juggle with two microphones, but I use an external effects processor.
Even plugged into my bass amp (but it is an excellent Phil Jones Bass!), It provides excellent sound and can indulge in all of music records.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought second hand, I do not regret my purchase.
I chose this model extra light for my 10 year old daughter. And it is me who is the most!
Very good value for money (occas approx € 200)

The neck is flawless

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two months that I have, it's been two months that I love, I do not let anyone touch it. I had already tried a gibson Les Paul, a epihone lespaul, a Mexican Start and my choice was the Yamaha, (least of all CHRE (379euros)), the report price is unbeatable for quality the quality of sound. Thank you Yamaha!
