Printed in Japan Finding the right guitar If you’re reading this, chances are good you’re looking NATHAN EAST for an electric guitar or bass. And if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ve picked an excellent place to find one. Yamaha offers a wide selection of guitars and basses that reflects the broad diversity found in today’s music TROY VAN LEEUWEN as well as the rich diversity found in our roster of artists—studio players, virtuoso technicians, jazzers, RYAN SHUCK rockers, country, blues, heavy metal, R&B, and pop. AMIR DERAKH Some of our artists are here because of the connection they felt the first time they played a Yamaha. The feel, TY TABOR the way it plays, everything is just “right”. Others are here because they found people in our design and JHON PATITUCCI SAMMY HAGAR artist centers who listened to and understood their thoughts and ideas, then turned them into reality by crafting a custom instrument meeting their exact DAVE NAVARRO needs. What they all found however, was an instrument that feels and plays the way they want it to—their perfect guitar. Finding the right instrument is a very personal thing. Individual needs vary so deciding what’s right for you is something you’ll have to explore on your own. But FRANK GAMBALE PAUL RODGERS MIKE STERN BILLY SHEEHAN Photo by Mike Mesker 1 MICHAEL ANTHONY JOHN MYUNG BRIAN MAY given all the players that have found their perfect guitar here at Yamaha, we’re sure you’ll find yours too. 2 We’ve been producing guitars for 40 years now, and during this time we’ve come to meet and build strong relationships with a great many artists. They’ve been a great inspiration and provided us with ideas that we have turned into to reality. What defines a great sounding guitar varies widely among players, and turning their ideas related to sound into reality requires a high level of experience, technology, and expertise. A century of crafting Yamaha pianos and our extensive experience in crafting everything from acoustic guitars and drums to orchestral and electronic instruments has provided us with the required experience, technologies, expertise and most importantly, a knowledge of sound that is second to none. It’s our ability to blend the artist’s sensitivities with technology that place Yamaha guitars in a class of their own. The Secret of A.I.R. Technology – RGXA2 Initial Response Acceleration – SG Series Lightweight material is sandwiched between harder, heavier wood on both the front and back surfaces of the guitar’s body. Special ‘sound tubes’ pass through the body so that string vibrations normally resonating only the guitar’s top are transmitted to the whole body. By exciting the entire body structure and shaping the tone with the hard top and back, A.I.R. construction creates a full, powerful tone with distinctive presence and body that is both totally usable and completely unique. Who said beauty was only skin deep? An instrument acquires mature tone and playability only after years of playing, over which stresses are gradually released between the instrument’s finish, parts, body, neck, fingerboard, nut, bridge, etc. Investigation into this process led to the development of Initial Response Acceleration, a process exclusive to Yamaha that accelerates the maturing process, delivering instruments that feel and play right out of the box, as if they’ve been played for years. They offer better response, greater sustain, and require less time to fully mature.

[BB2004] 4 BASSE BRIDGES Bridges & Tailpieces While maintaining accurate pitch is a must in any performance situation, there are very few instruments that can actually achieve this level of performance. Yamaha has developed a range of original bridge and tailpiece systems that serve to anchor and support the strings plus provide precise and stable tuning that stands ahead of the rest. Bridge and tailpiece systems play other important roles. In order to deliver optimum sound quality, it is important that they fully transmit string vibration to the body. They must also provide accurate arming in order to meet individual playing styles. Pursuing better sound and performance is the reason we take the time and effort to develop our own original hardware. Body GUITAR BRIDGES YAMAHA Solid Brass YAMAHA BPX-7 AES Bridge AE/SA Bridge YAMAHA AES, AE/SA Bridge Smooth surface and a curvature matching the fingerboard offer enhanced playability. (RGX520FZ, RGX320FZ, AES920, AES620, AES620SH, AES620HB, AES720, AES520D6), (AE500, SA500) High quality woods such as alder, mahogany, or ash are used the bodies of 60 out of the 68 electric guitars and basses Yamaha offers. Expertise acquired from a century of crafting Yamaha pianos plus our extensive experience in crafting acoustic guitars, drums, and violins has provided us with an intimate knowledge of various woods. It has always been our belief that quality materials create quality instruments and this fundamental principle will never change. YAMAHA R1000V Tremolo YAMAHA Tremolo (SN) Designing the base plate with a curve matching the fingerboard eliminates the need for individual height adjustors and creates a sleek design with enhanced playability. Stainless steel saddles are rust resistant. (Patent Pending) [RGX620Z, Pacifica 812V, Pacifica 612V] The steel saddle and plate transfer string vibration without loss. [Pacifica 904] This original design features individual die-cast bridge assemblies—each equipped with its own builtin piezo pickup—that transfer string vibration to the body. Steel produces a clear, well-defined tone. [TRB5PII, TRB6PII] Direct mounting creates a highly rigid system while larger octave adjustors deliver precise pitch. A sustain plate is included in the system used on the SG2000. YAMAHA BPZ-8 Vintage Style Tremolo This vintage style tremolo system offers great versatility.

[BBNE2] YAMAHA Solid Brass Designing the bridge with a larger curve where the base plate and block meet provides greater string tension tolerance. Angled string holes allow the strings to pass through smoothly and maintain proper string tension. [TRB1005, TRB1006] Vintage Style BBLTD5 An extended bass plate on the 5th string optimizes tension on the low B string. (Patent Pending) [BB415, BB615] Diecast Versatile die-cast bridge design. [BEX BS] 6 The conventional wisdom in building electric guitars has long been that the more uniform and heavy the material, the better the sound. But not any more. Yamaha has shattered this concept with an advanced technology called Alternative Internal Resonance, or A.I.R. for short (patent pending). This revolutionary design approach means that lightweight materials can at last deliver equivalent or superior tonal characteristics compared to traditional materials. The result? A smarter and lighter model with all of the sound quality you expect from a Yamaha.

No more hassles locking and releasing the strings All guitars with a standard double locking tremolo suffer the same weakness: tuning stability is amazing but changing the strings is a real chore. That’s why we developed the Finger Clamp System, which makes restringing a breeze. Check it out on the RGX620DZ and 520DZ models you’ll never go back to the old way again. And this system’s designed to handle hard playing, so you’ll stay in tune no matter how heavy the action gets. RGX620DZ, 520DZ RGX420DZ Sheiby Blue RGX520DZ Flat Silver We’re always looking for new ways to improve our guitars. Take the conventional Floyd Rose string locking system, for example. Sure, it keeps the guitar in tune even during the most intense rock sessions, but it also has its weak points. Every time you need to retune or change strings you have to tighten or loosen multiple screws, requiring a number of wrenches of different sizes. Add to this the hassle of cutting ball ends from strings and you see where we’re coming from.

From his days with Montrose to a hugely successful solo career to nearly two decades of Van Halen. Among it all, Sammy has also found the time to establish Cabo WaboTM__the #2 premium tequila in the world and a group of successful nightclubs of the same name. Building on the success of the award-winning AES620 solid body, Yamaha has created an alternative to those looking for the playability and tone of the AES620 with a slightly different look. The AES620HB is a chambered body version of the popular AES620. A quick glance shows the AES620HB contains the same great specifications as the AES620 with throughbody stringing, Yamaha’s signature finger tailpieces, and a Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup matched with a custom Alnico neck pickup. With the help of Yamaha's custom shop in Hollywood, CA, Sammy has created his signature guitar based on the award-winning AES620 mixed in with a bit of the Red Rocker's own touches. The AES620 SH features a mahogany body with a figured maple veneer top powered by two humbucking pickups including a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge. The set-in mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard are enhanced with the world-famous Cabo WaboTM logo inlaid at the 12th fret. The custom red color is based on the Red Rocker's favorite translucent red finish. A closer look shows the AES620HB takes the quilted maple top on a mahogany back and adds Yamaha's unique "F" hole design to craft not only a stunning look but creating a unique hybrid sound. Other features include a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard, individual volume controls and master tone, and dramatic Blonde and Old Violin Sunburst finishes.

In the 30 years that have since passed, the fact that it has undergone little in the way of change is testament to its exceptionally high level of quality and perfection. And now, Yamaha has created a special blend of its unparalleled handcraftsmanship and innovative technology that brings the SG2000 and SG1000 to new heights. Starting in 2005, both instruments are in production on a dedicated line at Yamaha Music Craft—Yamaha’s elite handcraft workshop that is responsible for producing Yamaha’s top-ofthe-line handcrafted acoustic guitars and custom instruments. These two instruments also benefit from Yamaha’s latest technological advancements with the application of Initial Response Acceleration—a process originally developed for Yamaha’s acoustic violins that accelerates the maturing process resulting in instruments that play and sound right out of the box, as if they have been played for years. The new SG2000 and SG1000—the pinnacle Yamaha’s handcraftsmanship and technology, both past and present.

The finest cuts of maple and sycamore are used, and a choiceof beautiful finishes emphasizes their stunning highlights. The DiMarzio Q-100 pickups can be split to produce humbucking warmth to P-90 bite. For a true rockabilly setup, the AES1500B combines the features of the standard AES1500 with a classic Bigsby tremolo. The AEX1500 is a traditional archtop with a twist: The neck-mounted mini-humbucker is complimented with a bridge-mounted piezo pickup to produce not only electric jazz sounds, but also acoustic archtop sounds. Controls include a passive volume and tone for the neck pickup, an active 3-band EQ for the piezo, and a mix control for blending the two. Also available is the AEX500N2, a nylon string semi-hollow body which has a neck designed to provide electric players with greater comfort and playability. Its bridge-mounted piezo pickup delivers a warm and clear tone that is nothing less than exquisite. AES1500 Pearl Snow White AES1500B Orange Satin AEX500N2 Natural The 628 mm (24 3/4") scale and the Alnico V humbuckers of the SA2200 make it ideal for rock and blues, while the thinline, semihollowbody design makes it just as well suited for pop and jazz. The 2200 features a highly figured maple top and a mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard. The push-push tone pots switch the pickups from humbucking to single-coil.

Billy has taken rock bass playing to a new level with his bold performances and highly evolved technique. Billy worked closely with the team at Yamaha Guitar Development to produce two signature instruments: the Attitude Limited2 and the BEX-BS. The Attitude Limited2 starts with a 21-fret maple neck bolted to an alder body, but that’s where the standard features end. Custom-shop touches include a pair of Dimarzio WillPower pickups routed to separate output jacks for discreet amplification, passive EQ with hi-cut circuitry, a solid brass bridge, Hipshot "D Tuner", and unique, partial scalloping of the maple fingerboard. The BEX-BS is a semi-hollowbody design that features a figured sycamore top with a unique f-hole design, alder back and sides, and a translucent magenta finish. The rosewood on maple neck sports a distinctive abalone inlay design. A single pushbutton switches the humbucking pickups from passive to active circuitry, and the blue LED indicates which mode you're in.
