Yamaha YEV-104

Four-string electric violin

The Yamaha YEV-104 is a four-string electric violin from Yamaha's YEV line, designed around an open, minimalist wooden frame rather than a full resonating body. Built from a blend of woods including spruce, maple, mahogany, and walnut for a warm natural look, it carries a maple bridge with a built-in piezo pickup and a passive quarter-inch output, so it needs no battery or external controls. Lightweight and stage-focused, it is aimed at players who want a simple, good-looking amplified violin for contemporary and crossover playing.
