Frequently Asked Questions

Yamaha’s HSS leans towards a slightly more modern, articulate sound than some vintage-voiced options, with a clear high end and good note definition.
It's a vintage-style trem, so it's not a floating system; it’s relatively stable for moderate vibrato, but aggressive whammy use will require retuning.
Walnut is generally a bit harder and smoother than rosewood, offering a faster feel; it’s also slightly more porous and might require more frequent oiling to prevent dryness.
