Yamaha's Acoustic Design technology employs scientific processes such as 3D modeling to develop wood milling techniques that enhance body resonance and improve vibration transfer between the neck and the body.

The 10-14" compound radius fingerboard allows for clean, precise chord playing in the lower part of the neck, while also making it easier to bend higher notes when soloing.

The new Reflectone pickups, created in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs, deliver clear, articulate tones with solid bass and bright highs, while the HSS configuration with coil-splitting capabilities offers exceptional versatility.
