Why we bought it

Yamaha's take on the Strat, and a better one than the price suggests: a maple neck with a rosewood board, a humbucker at the bridge for the heavy stuff and two single coils for everything else. We set it up here, truss rod, action, intonation, fretboard cleaned, and the five-way switch and both knobs respond as they should. A first electric that will not hold anyone back.
