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

The 10-14" compound radius fingerboard allows for clean, precise chords in the lower part of the neck, while making it easier to bend higher notes on the fretboard during solos.

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