Description
Another absolutely cracking Studio Lord, as is to be expected of a guitar named so confidently by everyone's favourite maker of fine saxophones and outboard motors.
Low digit serial number, not too far from the last one we've had land (a 78) and much the same in terms of spec. If it ain't broke, don't fix it... and this definitely ain't broke. 3-piece maple neck, mid 70s style, bound (dark) rosewood board with trapezoid inlays. Creme scratch guard, gold tophats, chrome ABR-style bridge and tailpiece. Creme pickups, which indicate superlative distorting properties. Very, very tidy all around and set up ready to shred all your favourite Alex Lifeson, or Al Di Meola, or Casiopea licks. Issei Noro would be very happy with you if you did.
Either 78 or 79, you decide. Yamaha's chart is imprecise. Made in Japan SN #001495 Weight: 4.6kg
