YAMAHA has been supporting the guitar manufacturing industry in Japan since its early days, and is considered to be the Japanese equivalent of Gibson.
The company has several models that are considered to be legendary, but this model is one of the most highly regarded in the BB series.
While the BB3000 is well-known and highly regarded, this model is the BB X.
The BB3000 features a through-neck joint, while the BB X uses a bolt-on joint.
True to Yamaha's style, it has a tight sound, but the touch is light, and compared to traditional Fender-style models, it produces a good sound with less effort.
Even with a light touch, the strings resonate well, allowing for stress-free playing.
By adopting the bolt-on design, it feels more comfortable to play, especially during slapping, compared to the BB3000.
Recommended.
The remaining fret wear is approximately 70%.
The truss rod is fully tightened.
The neck shows signs of bowing, but the string height is adjusted to 2.5-2.0mm, making it playable in its current condition.
The body and finish show overall scratches and dents, and the metal parts have rust and discolouration, but these are all consistent with the instrument's age.
The electronics are in good condition.
No significant modifications were noted.
