SA503TVL specifications

The Yamaha SA503TVL is a remarkable electric guitar that combines elegance, versatility, and rich tonal character, making it a favorite choice for musicians across various genres, from jazz to rock. This instrument is known for its stunning aesthetics and exceptional playability, providing both visual appeal and a delightful playing experience.

One of the standout features of the SA503TVL is its semi-hollow body construction. The body is crafted from a combination of premium woods, typically including a solid center block surrounded by laminated maple, which contributes to its lightweight feel and resonance. This design allows the guitar to produce a warm, full-bodied sound while reducing feedback, making it an excellent choice for live performances.

The guitar is equipped with a pair of Yamaha's custom-designed humbucking pickups, delivering a rich, warm tone with excellent articulation. These pickups are designed to minimize noise and enhance clarity, allowing players to achieve a broad range of sonic possibilities. The accompanying three-way selector switch enables musicians to toggle between the neck, bridge, or both pickups, providing additional versatility in tone shaping.

The SA503TVL features a smooth, comfortable neck profile that allows for easy navigation across the fretboard. It typically sports a rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets, offering both playability and durability. The guitar’s neck joint is designed for optimal access to higher frets, enabling effortless soloing and advanced techniques.

In terms of aesthetic design, the SA503TVL is often available in a variety of eye-catching finishes, including stunning sunburst options that showcase the wood grain. The elegant binding around the body and the tasteful inlays on the fingerboard contribute to its overall sophisticated look.

Acoustically, the SA503TVL is highly responsive, making it suitable for both amplified performances and intimate acoustic settings. It also features a sturdy bridge and tailpiece system, ensuring stable tuning and solid intonation.

Incorporating modern advancements in guitar technology, the Yamaha SA503TVL stands out as a musicians' choice, combining timeless craftsmanship with contemporary features. Whether you’re jamming at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, the SA503TVL is equipped to deliver exceptional sound and performance that meets the demands of today’s players.
