Japanese made in 1980, the AE-1200 was a high end Jazz sized hollowbody from Yamaha. Bound beech top/back with a laminate spruce top, slim C profile mahogany neck and a bound 20 fret ebony fingerboard (12" radius, 628mm scale length), it weighs 3.5kg's. Loaded with the original pots and Yamaha branded pickups (both with coil splits on push-pull tone pots), this one has two new tone capacitors installed as the originals had dried up. Features aftermarket Grover tuners along with an aftermarket Tokai factory NOS ebony tailpiece and some replacement knobs.
Received a full professional clean and setup prior to listing, plays and sounds great with shiny frets and a straight neck with an adjustable truss. The frets have some pitting but play well and are smooth for bending. Some light wear in the clear coat but otherwise it's clean for its age.
