In the world of guitar, Yamaha is not exactly the first company you think. Better known for its keyboards, digital pianos and synthesizers, Yamaha still makes some decent guitars that are more than reasonable prices. We will go over some guitars that this 40 years old company manufactures.
Yamaha began in 1966, well before the first synthesizer came out. But by the mid-80s they were among the best synthesizers on the market including the DX-7 Classic. But despite their reputation as a giant keyboard, the land of the guitar was not very far.
Yamaha Guitars are not the most stylish designs look around but they sound decent. The series includes the AES AES 420-920 serial numbers, with the exception of the 820 does not exist. No explanation is given for the missing number.
The Pacifica series, which look a bit smoother than the series AES, including the PCB 012 by 812, still missing a couple of serial numbers, including, again, the series 8. They must have something against this number. Yamaha has always been very trivial when it comes to naming models of instruments, both keyboards or guitars.
Series snare is one of the newest additions to Yamaha. The look is very similar to the Pacifica series but this is where the similarities end. Series snare has 20 watts, 2-channel amp, guitar, protective cover, Qwik Tune Digital Chromatic Tuner, a guitar cable, instructional DVD, guitar strap, Extra strings and picks. It may not sound like a big deal for those who bought the biggest brands, but for the price, it is not a guitar evil. The best part of this series is that it comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you drop it off a building, they will replace it free.
A series of smaller guitars as far as many are made, is the E series, with only three models, 112, 103 and 121. The guitars are actually very well done and come with not two but three pickup trucks. Two single coil and humbucking pickups. Moreover, They come with a vintage vibrato and a tremolo bar. And they do not cost a fortune.
Another small series of guitars is the REX series. Consisting of 320, 520 and XA2, these guitars have two humbucker pickups and the original Yamaha Yamaha AES bridge series. The three position pickup switch is a nice touch.
The series of archtop guitars, which have fat looking not really understand but seven different models. They come with three microphones single coil bar, dueling three switches and a selector so chrome Bigsby tremolo. These are some guitar sounds good.
For their complete range of electric guitars is the Eterna. This guitar also comes with three microphones, two single coil and Humbucking.
No, you will not find Yamaha Guitars played by your biggest rock and roll bands, but this does not mean they do not make a decent instrument, particularly for someone who did not spend $ 2500.
