YAMAHA has been supporting the industry since the dawn of Japanese guitar making, essentially Japan's Gibson.
The company has several models considered legendary instruments, but this model is a standout piece from the highly regarded BB series.
Its distinctive sound combines raw power with sharpness.
It possesses the potential to excel across a wide range of genres, including rock and pop.
The BB2024 is a relatively recent model incorporating many new ideas and technologies.
The A.R.E. and I.R.A. treatments are emblematic.
A.R.E. is a wood modification technology developed by Yamaha.
Applying A.R.E. treatment to the body wood is said to impart a rich, vintage-like resonance to the wood, as if it had been played for years.
Additionally, I.R.A. involves subjecting the finished instrument to vibrations, imparting a tone and nuance reminiscent of a well-played instrument, even when brand new.
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what changes occur, but I believe this persistent experimentation is one of Yamaha's great strengths.
Other details include a 45-degree through-body design and a 5-ply laminated neck of maple and mahogany.
While not every feature offers benefits in every aspect, these elements undoubtedly shape the essence of Yamaha.
The sound is thick, crisp, and fast.
