Guitar fans would know the fabled tone coming out from
Yamaha's
SBG models, this is in part, attributable to a brass plate contraption included in its construction (as arrowed in the pic above). The manufacturer refers to it as a '
sustain plate' & believes its contribution in tonal definition. I've personally played the
SBG2000 on several occasions & the bit of clarity coming out from the guitar's overall voicing (from both pickups) is rather marked.
The idea of having such an additional mechanism would only be a mere gimmick if it doesn't prove itself effective, we take the cue from Ibanez on this fulfillment as this manufacturer employed a similar mechanical application in their Prestige
SZ (discont'd) models. The massive block you see above occupies the gaping hole in the guitar to provide both bridge anchoring as well as tonal enhancements.
