This is the genuine G1 neck that came with my Yamaha alto saxophone YAS-875EX. I bought it new, but it was sold as an outlet item because it had minor scratches on the neck. I purchased the current model six years ago and have used it for practice and numerous performances. It's a G1 neck, and because I've played it extensively, I feel that the high range sounds good. I am selling it because I have recently replaced it with a different neck. It's still usable, so I hope someone will take it.
