Frequently Asked Questions
The System 64 is known for its natural sound and excellent feedback rejection – it’s a significant step up from basic piezo pickups, offering more nuance and clarity.
The neck profile is fairly standard for Yamaha, a comfortable 'C' shape, but slightly fuller than some electric guitar necks – it's generally considered very playable.
Expect a balanced, articulate tone with good clarity – the preamp aims to replicate the natural acoustic sound, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles.
