Thanks, I really wished I had kept it. Those Seth lover pickups sounded really sweet.

@@DanielAnando-m3u thanks

I don't have the bass anymore but I seen to remember that it was balanced enough. Might be better to hit someone up who has one but I think there's one at a shop near my place, if I remember I'll check it out.

@@paulsjvgearoutletchannel8671 oh please do, is my current dream bass

@@paulsjvgearoutletchannel8671 purchased the bigger brother from japan, I hope you are right!

Thank you

Hi, most likely a blues junior and an old teisco tube amp or a Roland cube 30. I probably used 2 amps in stereo.

@@paulsjvgearoutletchannel8671 thank you !!

@@theguitarlibrary_kdp no worries. For the video I used a zoom H2 in front of the 2 amps and straight into my camera. I don't really have time to edit the sound either. I'll upload my pedal board one day. But reverb would be a boss rv-5 and drives are a RAT and maxon OD808, sometimes stacked.

Hi, I'm not really sure, I had a listen and it just sounds like I'm mucking around mostly.

@@7_eleven790 thanks. If say the neck profile is a medium C shape and radius was more towards vintage type necks 9" maybe. I sold the guitar a while ago but most guitars from that era seem to follow more or less strat specs and have similar necks. Sorry I can't give you the exact specs

@@paulsjvgearoutletchannel8671 Thank you very much. I have just bought my one, hoping the neck is not too fat, was a pretty good deal considering its a made in japan guitar from the 80s.

Great, yeah the necks on most MIJ guitars are not too fat. I find pretty much every guitar I've checked out seem to have a pretty comfortable neck.

Na, I'm pretty sure they're stock.

@@billionaize247 awesome, glad it's giving you plenty of joy.

these things were rediculously quality, they were better than most stuff bar pre cbs fenders, so they;d be better than most fender japan products.. plus wicked late 70's early 80s vintage

Thanks for checking the guitars out and the comment. I'm from Auckland NZ originally but been in Japan since 2001

Thank you

Made in Japan around 1980

In Japan they're definitely becoming collectable recently.

I'd love one in that colour, I have an old Japanese Squire contemporary series with that finish, it's a nice guitar.

Thanks Jeremy, yeah it's a nice axe and been well looked after over all these years as well. I really like the old fernandes, my main player is a fernandes revival series strat.

Thanks. That would be a nice axe.

Thanks so much, I'd like to do more if I had time and try and get into the history as well. Hopefully in the future.

obrigado

Thanks, I sold that one but I think I'll have to get me another.

Great, yeah I know, I hope people can get a good idea of how great these old Yamaha's are. That one in the video I sold already a few years back I think. Enjoy the new guitar

Yeah Korean, did it really sound that bad? What guitar are you playing at the moment?

Man, don’t even waste your energy responding to chumps who just want to criticize … it’s like giving air to a dumpster fire. That Aria sounds so versatile ! What kind of pups are in there?

Fair enough Bobby, I got much better ways to waste my energy anyways, Funny I never got a response though. I don't have the guitar anymore, sold it a few years ago I think. I think the pups were stock anyways, could have been gotoh but not really sure. I'm working on a lot of guitars every year, that one sounded good from my memory. I think the difference between that one and the Japanese made ones might be small and a lot comes down to a good set up and fingers and so on and so on. I'm never gonna get into a deep guitar tone conversation. It's a deep hole of no return. Just make music with the tone that comes out.

Well said; “ the heart wants what it wants “.

It's a solid top with a very thin laminate on the top and bottom for stability and crack prevention, like the older Yamaha's.

Hi, yeah it definitely plays more in tune all the way up the neck and up high as well. It's a small difference that would be hard to tell for most people I think. The FGN guitars are well made and just play great and feel really nice in the hand.

@@paulsjvgearoutletchannel8671 Thanks for your insight! FGN instruments are pretty rare here in the US, so I probably won't find one to play before buying online. Very untested in their Les Paul or bass.

Yeah, FGN have such a long, rich guitar making history with Greco, fender Japan, I handed etc... So many and they seem very committed to making great instruments. I suppose CFS is a small innovation that they feel will improve the players experience and ability to make great music. This one's actually for sale.

Hard to remember but I think they're we're both similar and both great to play. Would have been nice to do a direct comparison but unfortunately both have gone.

@paulsjvgearoutletchannel8671 I just scored a '93 RT150 and I'm pretty surprised at how much I want to play it. I can't put it down. Kinda sucks that it's literally impossible to find pickguards for them. I did put a Gotoh Trem and locking tuners on it which was quite an improvement. Do you have a Reverb store?

I have owned my RT 250 for about 8 years now, and its my favorite guitar to play. So versatile, such a great tone. They should have never discontinued them.

@@markredsicker9392regular RG guards don’t fit at all? Or just one or more screws not aligned?

Thank you

Yeah, selling on reverb.

The "s" is for sunburst. In addition to these colors, the catalogs of the time show "N" for natural finish and "W" for white. It does not seem to mean short scale.
