YAMAHA RGX420 DZ ELECTRIC GUITAR FLAT BLUE

The all new RGX ”DZ“ models are perfect for those about to lock! For players who require locking tremelo systems. Yamaha designers have come up with serious innovation in their new finger clamp bridge and nut system.

And this system is designed to handle hard playing, so you will stay in tune regardless of hot heavy the action gets.

When the SG 2000 was introduced in 1976, guitarists all over the world were awed by its beautiful aesthetics and innovative design. In the 30 years that passed since then, the fact that it has undergone little in the way of changes is testament to its exceptionally high level of quality and perfection.

And now Yamaha has created a special bland 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-of-the-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 that 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.

SA2200 Brown Sunburst

With the SA2200, Yamaha has refined the thinline semi-acoustic to perfection. A solid block of wood runs through the otherwise hollow body for enhanced sustain and feedback resistance, giving the instrument a remarkable ability to reproduce everything from mellow jazz tones to the aggressive snap and growl of a solidbody.

Performance muscle comes from two powerful Alnico V humbuckers, whose coils can be split via the tone knobs to provide additional, single coil-like sounds and combined permutations via the three-way pickup selector. Add in beautiful cosmetics like the figured maple body veneers and split-block inlaid ebony fingerboard, and this is an instrument you’ll find hard to resist.

This type of single-cutaway electric is often associated with single-coil pickups, but on the Pacifica 120S Yamaha adds extra sonic muscle, loading in two meaty humbuckers plus the added versatility of a three-way pickup selector that gives an excellent, ringing rhythm sound in the middle position.

Though very keenly priced, the 120S features a solid alder body, a genuine rosewood fingerboard and a precisely engineered diecast bridge with six individually adjustable saddles.

It’s no wonder that Yamaha’s Pacifica 112 enjoys such sales success. At a remarkably reasonable price the guitar features a solid alder body, which in conjunction with the powerful bridge humbucker and two single-coil pickups produces an impressive palette of vintage and rock sounds.
