Frequently Asked Questions
The Reflectone pickups offer a more refined and nuanced tone compared to older Yamaha pickups, with a wider dynamic range and a more open high-end.
The tinted satin finish offers a good balance – it's smooth but retains enough texture for a comfortable, secure grip, avoiding excessive slickness.
While the transition might take a little getting used to, the compound radius is generally very comfortable and offers benefits for both chording and lead playing, even for flat-fingerboard enthusiasts.
