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

The 10-14" compound radius fingerboard allows for clean, precise chord playing on the lower part of the neck, while also making bending higher notes easier during solos.

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