I think the SE is 25.5 scale with 22 frets.
It was billed as a beginner guitar, but none of us has ever figured out why. Great neck that feels wide enough for an emergency landing strip, but is really not that wide. The pickups are okay stock, and with 11's, they start to have incredible tone.
You push the coiltap and it pops up by itself. The SE 250 has the same kind of set up with two pickups and a spring loaded coil tap to split the bridge. $75 won't buy the bridge pickup in the guitar unless you find one used!īy the way, the fresh battery did not hurt anything on the sound! It is much brighter now. The nut actually stops short of the end of the slot. The specs also call for a coil tap to split the bridge pickup, which this one doesn't have. The singles have foam springs molded on the back, so you can't see which they are, but the bridge is an EMG 85. The specs call for Yamaha pickups, but it has Gold Label EMG's in it. If I keep this one, it will too.īeing an early model, the jack is in the face, not the edge. The nut is 41 mm, and it doesn't even reach the ends of the slot, but at least one source says that the first two years of production used the 41 mm nut. That is the first year for them, so it is a very early model. The serial number says it was made in February 1987, and that it was number 134 of production. Without the locking nut, I don't think it could have been brought up to tune at all. When I got it, the strings were literally tied onto the tuners, with very little wrap of any kind. Would not stay in tune, even for a few notes. I got this one home, and guess what? The tremolo springs are trashed, and there were only two to start with. When I bought the SE 250, the tremolo springs were trashed, and it would not stay in tune, so the guy sold it to me cheap. Heck, the case is worth a big chunk of what I paid for the guitar. I took a quick look, bought it, and headed home to open my Christmas present to me. We met yesterday, and it came in a factory fitted Yamaha case. I have the SE250 from the same factory and time period, so I called him up and told him I wanted it.
