[Jlemay117]

@ironmaiden2551

I think les pauls are overated really. I tried them.

[Jlemay117]

I see this guy in everywhere review I see

[realbluemeanie]

@ironmaiden2551 Lol....... Having owned both an Epi and the yamaha in question, i'm afraid to say the AES is miles better, play, tone and construction are all superior.

[Aeon3D]

He looks like David Spade and Michael J.  Fox' Love Child... but he seems like he knows his guitars...

[saadsnake6]

b.c rich

[TheDarkShoT25]

if i dont play with one of this i cant tell my oponion for yamaha .i prefer gibson,epiphoneand ibanez.However yamaha seems to be nice for a biginner but not for a concert

[BigFishingShop]

Nice how they laid out the control knobs better out of the way : )

[kanalR3DX]

Ibanez and Yamaha is a better choice of guitars and basses!

[mamady03]

LTD is the best!!!!!!!!!!!

[crosswalkstudios]

@ironmaiden2551 Quite the opposite, actually.

[Sodacake]

It's a shame Yamaha have stopped making all of their cool guitars.

[flarbton]

the tone selector is the weak point, they should have just opted for the traditional tone control. Plus they use shit low grade metal for the individual tail pieces... the strings eventually rip into the metal. My favorite feature on my AES 820 is the bridge since it's low profile and comfortable.

[neojunhao]

can anyone tell me how to tell is the guitar is it good or bad, i dont know how to see or hear whether is it a good guitar.

[dekacster]

lol young paul :D

[girlguitarists]

Hi AES sounds great. I've been looking for it, but hardly it appears in the market now. Right now there is one Yamaha AES420 on eBay with the price, US$ 132 only. I think it's a bargain. I'm about to bid. What do you think?

[taraldsvik]

Seymour Duncan pickups rocks!!

[TheK00n]

My first guitar was an RGX 112, I got an epiphone sg 400 now, but I think i'll go sell the epiphone and use the money to upgrade the yamaha, thinking of slamming a floyd rose on there, and the stock pickups ... just... won't .... do :P

[TheMercful]

the man looks like John Squire a bit xD

[TheDittohead3]

i have an acoustic yamaha its great

[DJDhananjayK]

isn't he paul from guitar world?

[foolintherain100]

@DJDhananjayK yeah, but it was hard for me to tell at first, usually he has short hair.

[dsfbjskg]

yamaha is the best Electric Guitar

[MiamiObserver]

I was able to get one of the AES720s for a mere $350 ... I got it on special sale price from Musician's Friend because Yamaha had just announced that they were being discontinued ... but the demand was so great that Musician's Friend apparently ordered some more from Yamaha and sold them for a higher price ... now, only the used ones are available. ... it's a beautifully made guitar with a BIG sound. I can't believe I got it so cheaply ... however, I found I prefer the Fender single coil sound.

[metallicabigfan]

are yamaha guitar s good ?? and can somebady tell me how much cost this guitar to buy new but in EUR ??

[arcadia440]

The aes720 is a great guitar. I remember when they first came out, they listed for $999 and sold for about $700. Nice used ones are worth about $400 now I wish I never sold mine.

[colbymercury]

I have owned both guitars. The 920 was toneless and unbalanced, but the 720 is a tone monster. I sold the 920.

[tsykal11]

he should have played the same thing with different pick ups to compare

[lguukietar]

how old is this vid

[danpagnesupernova]

What was the give away, Haha

[InfinityTracer]

AES720's cost is near 1000$!

[unseenbeach]

cause it's not produced anymore right? i got mine for 400

[eurabio]

Im between the AES620 and the AES620HB, I like indie and jazz fusion, any recomendation?

[gacktology]

Hm They are both great, maybe the Hollowbody will give you more of the sound you want.

[batiste182]

I want a yamaha aes 820 ...

[AcSouza1973]

I Have an AES 620 and i love it. I hate ibanez. I hate thin neck....

[CristianPareja]

i have a jem and it´s a kick ass guitar and it has a thin neck, that makes it faster to soloing. You must test a ibanez one...

[mcradeep]

i think yamaha guitar not good...

i think jackson,esp and ibanez are the best guitar..

this only my opinion..

[toolongtoremember]

the aes series sounds way better than the A2 set on the RGX series ten fold

the A2 is a fad, the AES is a propper guitar

[colbymercury]

The 720 is a tone monster. It kicks the hell out of my Les Paul. It is no joke. I will buy the 920 next.

[SketcH669]

You should do a Review on the Yamaha AES-AD6 and AES-RS7

[sj192]

i would buy the rgx a2 because it looks really good and has a great sound

[sj192]

is the RGX A2 better than the AES 720 ?

[kevinbatao]

i had a 420

[malice667]

bought the 720 toady it fuckin rocks your ass

[ofirharlev]

dude, the 720 is amazing!

[renshengmasituan]

hey, if i have a seymour duncan 59' pickups in the neck, and a duncan JB pickup i the bridge, will it sound great for doing solo?

[renshengmasituan]

AES 720 is better cos its pickup is DiMarzio pickups

[lester100126]

how about seymour duncan59 pick ups dude?

[ytsejam87]

It depends of the sound you prefer. If you like the traditional Les Paul sound, go for the 920. If you want a modern and heavier sound get the 720. DiMarzio it's not better than Duncan, and viceversa. It depends of the sound you are searching.

[redrocker1055]

I am one of those " buy only American guitars" kinda of guy. I may have changed my mind on these guitars.

[lester100126]

dude, i just wanna have your opinion if which is better between the 720 and 920 in terms of quality,especially the sound.. and dude, which is more expensinve?920 or 720? ynx dude.. i will appreciate your help and those who will help answer those questions..tnx.. ^_^

[mbajsel]

I have an 920 and I've played the 720 before. The 720 is the best value for the money by far. But aes920 is a lil more high quality, but the back looks really strange on the black one since brown wood doesn't match black...But that 720 is awesome. I got my 920 for 850 though used...

[lester100126]

dude, i just wanna have your opinion if which is better between the 720 and 920 in terms of quality,especially the sound.. and dude, which is more expensinve?920 or 720? ynx dude.. i will appreciate your help and those who will help answer those questions..tnx.. ^_^

[tedoymasa]

he is a little bit affeminate and no bad playing at all, i like that 720, especially his pick-up- set-up

[grownmen52496]

yea how much is the aes920?

[Lukeyboi14]

that 720 looks to futuristic, i dont like it

[TilaTequila73]

yep, way to fagigish for me.

[HippieMagic]

haha I wasn't going to say it but... yeah...

[not19butising]

ur like a mexican woman says something then sitches over 2 spanish hahaha, u probly play a low end yamaha anyways

[GuitarFreakMoFF]

I got a yamaha pacifica112 it might look like a small beginer thrash guitar but I would recommend it to everyone, seriously the neck feels great and it has a good tone specially for blues with the neck pickup.

[preludioenigmatico]

i used to sell guitars, and i bought a AES820 which are now discontinued... i have a bronze finish version. The one thing they must have got a lot of complaints about was the odd 3-way tone nob they used on the older version AES models instead of the master tone like they have now? i haven't tried the new models but i think that's what they changed. I am going to get a 620 or a 920 also.

[Cerrus100]

I own an AES-720 and it's great especially for 300 dollars. I havent played the 920, but I can tell you that for the money the 720 is extremely versatile and just feels great. And to slighe39..... I dont think they're ugly :(

[metallijax]

i'd rather get a friggin fender squier than 1 a yamaha

[katzenrubbl0r]

yamaha build the most underrated guitars ever

[samsite84]

@katzenrubbl0r True, And Yamaha are the Best guitars ever made.

Tthese two Yamaha models and the SG2000 can easily outplay any overrated and overpriced Gibson and Fender guitars.

[ozzyscrazytrain]

ye plays alright but what would u go for a gibson/epiphone or a "yamaha"

[slighe39]

They play great, feel great, and sound great, but God they're ugly!

[wesleyheadbanger]

@slighe39 ugly ? you are the ugly one

take care

[PeterRosenqvist]

@slighe39 . YOU MUST BE JOKING !! ....... They are beauties,

especially the 720. WOW WHAT A FINE TWANGER !!. {;o)

[nine9live5]

@PeterRosenqvist the 720 looks too goddy i guess, the 920 looks classi :)

[taraldsvik]

@slighe39 it's not that ugly..

[bloodsplash666]

[scumbagdarrel]
