I had a YJM Japanese, that I sold for like 990$, to get a USA at 700 is a steal.

Congrats.
I think this will be my next guitar. The only question is: rosewood or maple fretboard?

Well, here it is:
I love this thing! I've had it for almost two weeks now and have hardly touched my Model 6 or my new 5150 replica I got a week before the YJM from a guy on Jemsite. It's a comfy guitar, the pickups are sweet (need to have the middle checked out, it has almost no volume then fades in and out), and it looks cool. But the scalloping is it for me. I am really digging it. The biggest adjustment, IMO, is for open chords but I'm used to it already. To test it, I played along with one of my old cover band CDs with a bunch of "chordy" stuff on it. Power and barre chords are no problem. But the best part is bending. It feels so good all over the neck - from low strings at low frets to high strings on the upper frets, it just feels so different without the wood there. You can really grab the string. I noticed I was overbending a lot times, so last night I checked with a tuner. For some reason, the first string requires about the same level of effort to go up 1 or 1 1/2 steps as other guitars but on the 2nd and 3rd strings, I can hit 2 and even 2 1/2 step bends with no problem! Did I say I love this guitar?!!Unleash the fury.....Texas style!Comment

I hear ya man, its my main squeeze these days. I just ordered a yjm308 just for the hell of it. I'm gonna crank it into the high output of my JCM800 and see what happens. I'm glad your liking it, it's hard to pick up my other guitars when the YJM is sitting there waiting to be played.

Yeah, +1 You will also like the 308. It sounds great through the JCM800 with that guitar!Originally posted by jcm800x View PostI hear ya man, its my main squeeze these days.

Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.Comment

Ah - nice! I'm missing mine already - put it into the shop for a few tweaks. Should be back soon......................Wal - Good from far, but far from goodComment

Got it back. Been playing it today, through my Mesa Rectoverb. Pickups not really hot enough for what I usually play, but I unwrapped my old MT-2 & the YJM sings. The tone may not be to some people's taste, but I like the "nasal" middy sound of the MT-2 (a touch of CE-5 chorus too), & the YJM plays beautifully. I miss the extra fret or 3, but string bends up a tone & a half are easy at the top. Vibrato easier - even for me. Love this guitar!Wal - Good from far, but far from goodComment

Cool man, I use an mt2 as well. I just got a yjm308 and it is very cool, a tad bright but thats what my amp's treble knob is for! I tried hotter pups but I put the hs3 back in, sounds better, you just need a line boost or an mt2!Charvel 7308 (TMZ 008), Charvel Pro-mod (yellow), Jackson Soloist Custom (Yellow), Jackson SL2H-V Natural, Gibson LPS DB, Gibson LPS EB, Gibson LPCC C, Charvel Model 2 (scalloped), Jackson DK2M (white), Charvel Journeyman, Fender Classic Player 60's strat, Carvin C66, Musikraft strat mutt, Warmoth Strat mutt, Fender MIM Jazz bass, Epiphone Classical, Takamine parlor.

It's time! Never been a Strat guy before - started with Gibson styled guitars (double humbucker) & kept in that vein, but this YJM is excellent.
