Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Have you ever tried an instrument and instantly felt like "That's it!"? Yamaha's AES1500B is one of those. Superb in almost every way, AES1500B will surely make you a happy owner giving you the best value for money.

Feature-wise this guitar is perfect! There is no need to add or remove anything, and that is quite an achievement by Yamaha, considering that it's quite hard to please every musician's desire, in order to grade an instrument such as AES1500B with such a high score when it comes to guitar features. That means that Yamaha has constructed more or less a guitar with perfect features, so if you decide to buy AES1500B you will be more than happy with it.

Top quality guitars are easy to recognize, and AES1500B is surely one of those, and you can tell that by the first glance at it. The finish is great, and it's not surprising, taken into the account that Yamaha is an experienced guitar manufacturer with long tradition in building great guitars. AES1500B is set up for playing right out of the box, but if you wish to adjust it, it's not a problem at all. Whatever changes you want to make, it will keep its redefined shape because the hardware is solid, and yet easily adjustable.

AES1500B is a guitar that will not let you down. In the studio, on the stage it will stand up to all the tasks. Yamaha made a great instrument that will endure years and years of your musician career. Another great thing about Yamaha's guitar is that the finish is great and the guitar will keep its pretty look for a long, long time.
