yep its an old model guitar but looks nice nonetheless. You might probably have to upgrade the pickups if you want nicer sound.
just curious hows the action like..

mmm grats on the purchase.
throw in some emg actives and then record!

Nice guitar. I've always love Yamahas. But no comment on the sound? Specs?

The sound is ok
But i am sure this baby will blow if I switch it with EMG's
Will update you guys when I change
Actually I did well in my final exam as my dad always bising that if I do bad then he will take my guitar and sell without me knowing
So he is happy and he bought for me
When I bought the guitar that time there are a little stain on the metal part
But once I got home, I used the silver polish and wipe the guitar
It looks like brand new
Next guitar I plan to get is a Flying V or Strat with whammy bar
Probably after SPM. Will study hard and get my 10 A1's
Will find for crazy sales

you do realize that active EMGs are expensive pickups, right? for someone who's still dependent on their dad, getting an EMG is pretty lucky(or spoilt). no offense, though.

EMGs are going for around RM700 for a pair. After installation, maybe RM750. Another RM250, and you can buy another one of your guitar.

but still, many ppl would rather have a guitar that has killer pickups, than 2 guitar that have plain normal boring yawning pickups.

Agreed. My LP-100 upgrades costs more then the guitar itself.
EMG Pickups, Schaller Tuners, new Switches and electronics, Straploks.....

Instead, spend more on good amps/pedals/modelers and learn to tweak/listen to good tone before you get expensive pickups.. They just make up 10% of your overall tone.

Aftermarket pickups have their distinct EQ character and better dynamics/overtones... that's just about it.. Putting a set of 700 bucks EMGs won't transform your guitar (or anyone else's) into a tone machine until you master the basics...

Guitar looks awesome... looks like my guitar but mine is red instead of black... not yahama though but has the same shape... with the yellow outlines... mine is a ashton guitar...

Bro, chill alright
Its like you just got up from bed and went angry all of a sudden
I saved up my money before I got my craftsman les paul
This guitar is unexpected as my dad bought for me
I just ask if i could have gotten it
Probably he thinks I deserve something after getting good grades

I'm locking this tread already since I've posted the picttures
See ya all
