This is a quick follow-on video from the last one where I talked about playing action and fret levelling. This is how the Yamaha SE350H ended up sounding and playing (following the fret levelling & set up process I did in the previous video). 

I'm amazed again at how good this guitar is. I knew they were something special after I set up the one my sister has (and has had since she was a kid in the 80s). I couldn't believe how rock-solid the Floyd-Rose style tremelo system was and how great it was to play. Once I'd finished setting hers up I had to give it back and immediately set an eBay search alert to find one. 

In over a year, the only Yamaha SE350 to come up for sale in the UK was the one shown in this video. That's how rare they are (compare this to the number of Squier Strats you'd see listed in a single year!). This one came up, in pretty grotty condition but I jumped at it. 

The payoff is a guitar that I'll probably keep, it's SO good. This video shows me trying it out through my little Roland Micro Cube amp immediately after finishing the set up.
