G10

1985

1988 (May)Initially sold for ¥110,000 Features: • The G10 employs a new Yamaha technique in which ultrasonic sound is transmitted along the strings and the fingered fret is precisely determined by analyzing the reflected wave. Pitch data is thus available immediately so there is not response delay. • Smooth-operating controller arm and controller wheel can be assigned to a wide range of MIDI control change functions. • Breath controller jack permits use of a Yamaha breath controller so that wind and toungueing techniques can be combined with guitar performance. • Program change buttons are provided — with an LED display — for easy selection of voices on the controlled synthesizer or tone generator.
