Jeffery Yong guitars was one of the exhibitors in the Singapore Gutiar show 2011 and looking at his works is honestly awe inspiring. One of the first thing I notice on his Blackie guitar is that it has Fan frets instead of the traditional straight frets. Of course, to measure the slots of Fan frets isn't an easy thing to do and I think Jeffery done a great job at it.
Another recurring characteristic of Jeffery's guitars is an additional sound hole that appears at the side of the guitar. This actually enhances the sound of the guitar and was proven to me by Adam from Sozo. From the picture, you can also see the inner bracing and the quality of the craftsmanship of Jeffery.
Finally, another noticeable trait of the Blackie is the shimmed angle of the neck joint. This actually helps to lower the action of the guitar and in terms of playing ergonomics, it makes the guitar a breeze to play with, especially for an acoustic guitar.
Another noticeable difference of Jeffery Yong's guitars is that it is considerably heavier than other acoustic guitars. However, this doesn't mean that the guitar has a lack of tone but on the other hand, it has a full bodied tone. Jeffery Yong's guitars are well crafted instrument and any serious guitarist should consider owning one of his finely hand crafted guitars. They are definitely not the instruments to disappoint.
