BB234: simple and effective

When it comes to design, Yamaha have gone for simplicity and efficiency with the BB234.

The maple neck adds some sparkle to the tone while the rosewood fretboard provides a touch of warmth.

Both of the pickups are Yamaha V3 Custom models with ceramic magnets that deliver a loud, bright sound that will cut easily through the mix in virtually any style of music.
