I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference, if there is a difference, between a Yamaha YEP 642 and a YEP 642II.

Aaron,

From Yamaha itself, "The new Neo is based around the design of the YEP-642 (Maestro). The main difference between the two models is the bell of the new Neo, along with the first branch which have been completely redesigned. Part of this redesign includes a new thicker gauge metal. One of the many positive effects this has had is that it enables the player to balance a deep lower register with a light upper register."

Most folks that have played both the 642 and the 642-II (Neo) prefer the Neo model. There's a pretty lengthy discussion on Dave Werden's forum here:

So where does the YEP 642S stand?

The ' S ' just means it's finished in silver instead of lacquer.
