Mike Stern is an extremely talented guitarist in the contemporary jazz guitar world.
His music and playing style, which boldly fuses the essence of jazz, funk, blues, hard rock, and many other genres, has evolved along with this guitar that captures the imagination of the player.
Sensitive pickups and body faithfully convey the player's expression, from the subtle nuances of picking to the attack of hard chord cutting.
Yamaha's unique I.R.A. treatment has also improved the body's sound.
The Yamaha Music Craft's outstanding woodworking techniques and processing precision have further evolved this beloved guitar that has been used as the main guitar since 1997.

Pickups
The combination of two Seymour Duncan pickups, "59" (front) and "Hot Rails" (rear), boasts a rich sound variation from clean tone to warm and mild to distortion.

Body & Neck
The single cutaway center two-piece light ash body and one-piece maple neck conform to the player's body, and the excellent body balance ensures stress-free playing even during long gigs.

IRA (Initial Response Acceleration)
Players know that "playing in" is important for guitars.
It is said that playing in improves the "ringing" of the guitar. The reason for this is that the stresses that occur between the neck and fingerboard, between the wood and the paint film, and between the wood and the hardware, etc., become more comfortable and resonate as one when the guitar is played.
I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) is a technique that relieves stresses between the paint and wood, etc., by applying vibrations specific to the finished guitar. This process makes the guitar look as if it has been played.
