Offered with the option of the famous Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, the AES1500 combines the character of classic American archtop-electric design with Yamaha high quality construction.
The semi-thinline AES1500, a classy, comfortable archtop cutaway design, is an instrument that successfully straddles the rock, country and jazz genres. The two custom Q100 DiMarzio humbuckers possess a powerful warmth perfectly balanced by the clear, well defined cut-through of the maple body construction. Moreover, each pickup can be coil split, which in conjunction with the three-way pickup selector lends a whole new dimension of tonal versatility and subtlety.
Sound Character
Two DiMarzio Q-100s produce a sound that lies between a single coil and a humbucker. Push push tone controllers split pickup coils allowing this guitar to cover a wide selection of sounds from Jazz to Blues to Rockabilly.
Semi Hollowbody
What looks like a full acoustic guitar is actually a semi-hollow design with a center block located underneath the bridge to prevent feedback.
Bridge
The AES1500 is equipped with a Tune-O-Matic bridge.
