Borland was intensely involved in every aspect of the design process of his dream signature model from conception to completion.
This new model boasts a distinctive design incorporating Yamahas unique Takumi-Kezuri construction in which the back, sides, and center block are all carved from one block of wood (alder, in this case).
A two-piece carved maple top finishes the instrument, making it a true semi-hollowbody electric guitar.
Other notable design elements include YASH (Yamaha Artist Services Hollywood) designed Custom33 pickups and binding on the inlayed 12-degree angled headstock, F-holes, and beautifully contoured body.
