This exceptional 2011 Custom Shop R9 was hand-selected by Yamano for the Japanese market, a distinction that carries real weight among both discerning players and serious collectors. It embodies everything that makes a great R9 so sought after, capped by a strikingly figured flame top that immediately commands attention. The neck features a true ’59 carve that feels substantial yet perfectly balanced, while the Burstbuckers deliver the rich, open, and harmonically complex voice you’d expect from a top-tier Historic. The result is a guitar that’s as inspiring to play as it is to admire. It’s in excellent condition and comes complete with the original hard case and Certificate of Authenticity.
