Frequently Asked Questions
It leans towards a brighter, more articulate sound than some of Yamaha’s offerings, with a richer low end thanks to the rosewood, but retains that characteristic Japanese precision and balance.
The neck is a standard 'C' shape, but the 52mm nut width does add some bulk; players with smaller hands might find it a touch challenging initially, but manageable with practice.
It comes with a decent quality hardshell case, providing good protection from bumps and scratches during transport—not a premium Pelican-style case, but perfectly adequate.
