2000s Yamaha AEX500N Acoustic/Electric Classical Guitar


Overview: This acoustic/electric classical has a "hybrid" neck style -- it's narrower and faster like an electric neck and has a full 15 frets free of the body before the cutaway begins. As an older model, it has a pretty plain-Jane pickup system but it works just fine. Due to a heavier plywood top and not much airspace in the body, its acoustic tone is and volume is limited but it's good-enough to practice on and work on material with on the couch.


Repairs included: a fret level/dress, restring, and setup.
