The semi-thinline
Yamaha AES1500 has a classy, comfortable archtop cutaway design, and successfully straddles the rock, country and jazz genres. The
AES1500B features two custom Q100 DiMarzio humbuckers that provide a powerful warm tone, perfectly balanced by the clear, well defined semi-hollow maple body of the AES1500B Yamaha guitar.
Each pickup can be coil split, which in conjunction with the three-way pickup selector switch, lends a whole new dimension of tonal versatility and subtlety. The
Yamaha AES1500B features a high quality Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and appeals to any serious guitarist, especially one playing rock 'n' roll, country or jazz.
Ever since Yamaha started making electric guitars back in the 1960s, the company has invested heavily in continuous research and development to translate guitarists' needs into instruments of uncompromising quality, at whatever price point. Yamaha spends a tremendous amount of time working with guitarists of all musical persuasions, and by refining the features and performance characteristics that inspire these artists, they ensure that Yamaha guitars - which cover a wide spectrum of designs and applications - satisfy the needs of contemporary players everywhere.
When you play a Yamaha electric - from the cheapest budget instrument to upmarket signature models - you benefit from a remarkable combination of advanced design and manufacturing plus the real-world input of talented and dedicated professionals.
