Made in Korea by Samick, Vantage guitars from this era have earned a fine reputation for being reliable, well-built instruments. This YS-511 is a classic HSS Strat-style electric that offers great versatility, pairing two ceramic single-coil pickups with a punchy humbucker in the bridge.
This guitar is in Very Good condition and represents a fantastic value for a vintage Korean-made instrument. It has no structural issues and exhibits only light fret wear and the finish is in great shape considering it's age while exhibiting the normal scratches and dings. We have just freshly set it up in our shop, and it serves as a nice, comfortable player for someone looking for an inexpensive backup or a high-quality starter electric.
Weighing in at a very light 6.60 lbs, this Vantage is easy on the shoulder and highly resonant. The Tobacco Sunburst finish over the maple veneer gives it a timeless look that highlights the grain beautifully. No bag or case is included.
