Original Pickups
Developed with the custom shop at
Yamaha Artist Services, Hollywood, the
A2 pickups perfectly compliment the
tonal characteristics of the A.I.R. body.
Designed with the input of some of the
world's greatest guitar players, the A2's
powerful tone belies its light weight.
Original Bridge
In rethinking bridge design, Yamaha
has succeeded at creating a compact,
l i g h t w e i g h t b r i d g e t h a t d e l i v e r s
o u tst a n d i n g f u n c ti o n. R e m ov i n g
protruding screws leaves a simple design
that delivers extended performance
when playing close to the bridge. Special
sound tubes installed under the bridge
pass through the body transmitting
string vibration directly to the body.
LED Pickup Indicator
The single volume control and a 3
position rotary pickup selector are
j o i n e d by L ED s s u r ro u n d i n g th e
volume control, providing bright visual
indication of the pickup in use.
RGXA2 Neck
Fingerboard width is the same as
guitars in the RGX series, like the
R G X 2 20 DZ, b u t w i t h a m e d i u m
thickness. This design makes chords
easier to hold and offers greater stability
for the left hand. Greater neck mass
also contributes to a richer sound.
Original Headstock
Yamaha has moved from tradition
with strong design features including
two-tone 3-D sculpting, cylindrical
aluminum machine heads (RGXA2),
a n d p e r f e c t w e i g h t b a l a n c e, a l l
wrapped up in sleek, fresh lines.
