Experience the pinnacle of craftsmanship and musical collaboration with the Yamaha AEX1500. Developed in collaboration with the renowned Jazz and finger-style guitarist Martin Taylor in the mid-90s, these exquisite Archtop guitars stand as a testament to precision and artistry. Crafted in Japan in 1997, the AEX1500 features a laminated figured maple hollow body, a glued-in maple neck with a luxurious ebony fingerboard boasting 20 frets. Equipped with a floating mini-humbucker and piezo pickup in the bridge, this instrument offers a seamless blend of electric and piezo acoustic tonality. Enhance your sound with the three-band piezo EQ, allowing variable midrange and piezo​/​humbucker mix control. Complete with a single-saddle floating bridge, trapeze tailpiece, and a generic plush hard shell case, the Yamaha AEX1500 is a cherished choice among players seeking the timeless allure of a traditional hollow body Archtop. This guitar is in very good condition. The only noticeable blemish is on the headstock, where it exhibits a few swirl marks and light scratches. However, this isn't egregious considering its age (90s). At Kenny's Music, we offer a 1-year warranty on all pre-owned guitars.
