Yamaha AES 1500 Semi-Hollow Orange Stain - Made in Japan, MIJ

This is a used Yamaha AES 1500 guitar. The item pictured is the one you will receive. It has been tested and gone over by the experts at our shop. When a guitar is purchased from us it undergoes a final setup check before shipping to ensure it's playing optimally. It is then packed with care and shipped to your door! (But please be aware that it may need slight tweaks upon arrival due to weather differences, jostling during shipping, etc.). Please read the description carefully and check over all photos for condition and wear. We do our best to describe all items as best as possible and note any wear we find, but please be considerate that it is a used piece and it won’t be perfect (Unless noted as "Mint Condition" or "10/10" for condition). If you have any questions about this or any other piece of gear we have, please let us know and we'll be happy to help!

Condition Notes:

- Condition: 9/10

- Fret wear: There's some light divots on the B and G strings, but plenty of life left until any work is needed!

- Any wear of note: The guitar is in overall amazing shape showing very little wear. The inlay piece at the neck heel has shrunk slightly and you can feel around the edge of it. But other than that, it just exhibits the normal, extremely light swirling in the clear coat (Very standard wear for a used guitar. Can happen from simply being wiped/cleaned with a cloth) that's only really visible in certain lighting. But very minimal and minor, and to be expected from any used guitar. Nothing that will really photograph. And again, it's in amazing shape overall!

- General notes: This is such an outstanding guitar! It's a truly a testament to Yamaha's craftsmanship and attention to detail. It has such a gorgeous ring to it and a nice vibrant, lively vibe. The neck is a blast to play. Really comfortable and easy to get around on. The DiMarzio Q-100's sound so good too! And it's super versatile with the ability to split each pickup via their respective Push/Push Tone pots. It's really a stellar guitar with a stellar vibe about it. You'll be really happy it's in your gear arsenal!

- Accessories included: Non-original padded gig-bag only.
