Description
No, it’s not yellow. Yes, it’s still a Flying Banana. And frankly, it might be cooler in blue—like a Velvet Underground B-side no one’s heard, but everyone pretends to love.
Made by Yamaha in the late '60s—peak weird era. This thing looks like it was smuggled out of a mod sci-fi soundtrack and slapped into the hands of someone who just bought their first fuzz pedal. The offset shape is chaotic good, the oversized pickguard is avant-pop perfection, and the flame on that neck is ridiculous. Straight-up tiger-striped sorcery. You’ll keep flipping it over just to stare.
Punchy short-scale thump, vintage voicing, heaps of charm. And rarity? Forget it. You will not see another one of these in your mate’s band, your feed, or your dreams. This is vintage outsider energy at its most playable.
Made in Japan, serial #2472826. Comes with instant attitude and several servings of strange.
