Guitarzan Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 To make a long story short i sold my Godin LG to a friend and sat on my money for a week to decide what would take it's place. Today i took the plunge after a few hours in the store. i ended up with a Metallic red Yamaha AES 420. by no means is this any less bitchin than the AES620 series. the Yammy buckers are nice and i prefer the wrap- around tailpiece and single vol and tone knobs. big fat neck oh yeah. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyBlues Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Suh-weet axe 'Zan! I like the pics with the hardwood flooring as background too, an "all wood" pic, very nice. My new Carvin just has the two pots, I like the simplicity of it myself. Enjoy! L.B. I was born at night but I wasn't born last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarzan Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 i was also looking at a RGX1212s yamaha from the eighties in the same finish. that puppy had the works incl ebony board, rockin magic trem and neckthru design with gibson scale. i never heard back from the seller so i hit the store. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel E. Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I had a Yamaha RGX612s which was the bolt-on version of the 1212. Same hardware and (I think) pickups. That guitar SUCKED!

Guitarzan Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 i remember you saying how you hated your 612. as far as i know the 1212 has more improvements than the neck thru build. there were various versions of the rockin magic trem the upper model had milled steel construction. the FB was ebony and i would guess the pickups were dimarzio. i did catch a vid of the actual guitar and it seemed to hold it's own. but the main thing is i chose to get the AES420. i have a Kramer pacer custom to rebuild and don't need a another shred axe. i wanted a solid chunk of mahogany with buckers and a set neck. the wrap around tailpiece is awesome. what a comfy guitar. yes, i did make the right decision. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gifthorse Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Looks like a comfortable guitar Zan. I hope you like it. You know when I was growing up Rik Emmett was the big name for Yamaha guitars for a short period. I worshipped him for a long time. But later the Yamaha Pacifica guitars were nice, and also reasonably priced. http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bejeeber Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Metallic Red Youbetcha. The only way to go with this one. The look doesn't really want to translate in photos, but 'zan will back me up on this, it's frikkin awesome live! http://mattragan.com/avatars/AES420.jpg You'll notice mine has a Sustainiac in the neck pickup position (and mini-toggles for controlling it), and the Roland GK-3 pickup crammed in there too (for use with a VG-88). That's not for looks. What a stoopid idea it turned out to be to use a GK-3 on a stop tailpiece guitar. Took me a while to realize that with that GK-3 in there, ya have to remove the tailpiece to change a string! http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1084/1308831460_cd698b82b4.jpg Just a pinch between the geek and chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
