Here for sale we have a Yamaha PAC1511MS Mike Stern Signature in Gloss Natural finish. Made in Japan this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Ash body, Maple neck and 22 Medium Jumbo fret Maple fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with a 6-Saddle string-through-body bridge and Gotoh SD91 6-in-line tuning machines. This guitar has been modified with a pair of EMG pickups, a EMG-RT in the bridge and a EMG 85X in the neck, these are wired to a 3-way blade selector, master volume and master tone control.
The Maple neck plays well, with the 'C' profile feeling comfortable in the hand and offering comfortable playability in all registers. The Maple fingerboard provides a durable playing surface, and with its 7.25" radius strikes a nice balance between easy chord playing and practicality for lead lines and string bending. The familiar lines of the body feel great in the arms, with the contours providing a comfortable playing experience in both standing or seated positions.
The EMG pickups installed into this guitar provide a vast array of tones for the user to explore. The EMG-RT is a new take on the classic Telecaster pickup, this pickup gives you all the twang and punch you'd expect with incredible clarity and definition with no hum. This pickup provides players that classic chime and a rich low end. When overdriven, this pickup screams with incredible sustain and edge. The EMG-85X has an organic and open voice thanks to the added headroom and response known to the EMG X Series. Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets, the 85X is a powerful guitar pickup with exceptional tone and versatility. The Alnico magnets of this model provide a muscular growl and smooth lead tones enabling you to play everything from the blues to the most extreme metal.
