BUENA PARK, Calif. — Yamaha's new TRB1004 delivers massive tone through clean-sounding, hum-canceling pickups. As the first four-string in the TRB line, the TRB1004 offers professional features such as premium woods and prime construction.

"Like its cousins, the TRB1005 and TRB1006, the new model contains high-end highlights that are still affordable," says Bryan Savage, marketing manager, Yamaha Guitars. "It's ideal for players of any level, and any genre."

The body of the TRB1004 features high-grade Alder wood capped with a premium-quality Quilted Maple top, a solid three piece bolt-on Maple neck and a 24-fret Rosewood fingerboard. The 35" super long scale offers a tight feel with plenty of bite, even on the lowest notes.

Two Alnico hum-canceling pickups feed a proprietary active preamp with three-band EQ, master volume and blend controls. The TRB1004 includes black hardware and a black solid brass bridge on a natural finish.

The TRB1004 is currently available.
