Custom 33 Pickup Designed
by YASH and Wes
The Custom 33 pickups were developed
by YASH ( Ya m a h a A r ti st S e r v i c e
Hollywood) in collaboration with Wes
Borland. 1st through 3rd and 4th through
6th string pole pieces are grouped
separately in a design that emphasizes
high-end sharpness to produce a clear
tone from the hollow body.
Finger Clamp Tremolo System
A locking tremolo and nut system
offers stable tuning even under heavy
tremolo use. And no tools are required
when it comes time to change strings.
Original Semi Hollow Design
Designed by Wes Borland and YASH,
the maple top is carved to produce its
uniquely curved shape.
Wes Borland is well known on stage for his elaborate face paint and
black-tinted contacts as guitarist for Limp Bizkit. He has also kept him-
self busy fronting his own band Black Light Burns and as a member of
such bands as Big Dumb Face, Eat the Day, and Goatslayer.

Sound Character
Two DiMarzio Q-100s produce a sound
that lies between a single coil and a
humbucker. Push push tone controllers
split pickup coils allowing this guitar to
cover a wide selection of sounds from
Jazz to Blues to Rockabilly.
Semi Hollowbody
What looks like a full acoustic guitar is
actually a semi-hollow design with a
center block located underneath the
bridge to prevent feedback.
