YAMAHA has been a pillar of Japanese guitar making since the dawn of the industry, essentially the Gibson of Japan.
The company has several models considered classics, and this model is a gem from the highly acclaimed BB series.
The BB series is famous for the BB3000, but this is the BB1025.
While the BB3000 features a neck-through joint, this model uses a bolt-on joint.
It comes with a pickguard, giving it a BB1025X-like look.
The body is made of alder with a spline joint structure, with slits in the center and on both sides.
The neck is a 5-piece laminate of maple and Nyatoh, and the fingerboard is rosewood.
The technique of combining multiple woods in the construction minimizes left-right and individual differences and achieves greater stability.
It has a tight sound, typical of Yamaha, a light touch, and a powerful sound that requires less effort than traditional Fender models.
The strings resonate well even with a light touch, allowing for stress-free playing.
The bolt-on design makes it feel more comfortable to play than the BB3000, especially when slapping.
Recommended.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck has a crack near the second-string tuning machine on the back of the headstock. There is a screw located right above the adhesive part of the neck ply, and it is thought to have been caused by the force of tightening the screw. There are currently no issues.
The body and paint show signs of use, with peeling paint and scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
A pickguard was installed later.
