Frequently Asked Questions
It's functional for basic amplification, but lacks the dynamic range and clarity of more expensive systems – expect a slightly 'boxy' amplified tone.
The neck profile is a standard 'C' shape; it's generally comfortable, but those with very large hands might find it a touch narrow.
Yamaha's reputation speaks for itself – the build is solid and consistent for the price, with clean fretwork and decent bracing.
