B-STOCK - has some minor scratches which are only really noticeable under close inspection. the neck has a colour finishing flaw which does not affect playability. Otherwise, instrument is supplied with Yamaha's 12 month guarantee. This is a NEW guitar. The Yamaha BB735A features an Alder/Maple/Alder multi-laminated body construction. The hard maple center increases body stiffness and accentuates midrange to cut through the mix of a band, and allows a more uniform transmission of vibrations between the body and the maple neck for unparalleled resonance and sustain. The YGD Custom V7 Pickup with alnico magnets produce a fat yet penetrating tone that works in combination with the unique Alder/Maple/Alder construction of the 700 and Pro models for an organic, well-defined sound. This active/passive circuit has been retuned for the BB for a crisper tone and improved mids via a level-matched output whether in passive or active mode and tone-switching circuitry that seamlessly moves from treble control to master passive tone.
