Description

The Vintage SE250 Electric Guitar Made in Japan by Yamaha

The Yamaha SE250 is a classic 1980s solid-body electric guitar known for its Superstrat-inspired design and versatile tonal palette. Built with a bolt-on maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard, it plays comfortably with 22 frets and a familiar 25.5″ scale length that’s great for rock and blues-oriented styles.
Its pickup configuration pairs a single-coil at the neck with a humbucker at the bridge, offering crisp cleans and punchy overdriven tones alike.
The SE250 typically features a tremolo bridge influenced by Floyd-style systems, adding expressive pitch modulation and performance flexibility.
Yamaha’s build quality from this era gives the SE250 a solid, reliable feel with vintage character. Today it’s often sought after by collectors and players looking for a retro guitar with classic playability and rock tone.
