USED YAMAHA / HR-III MOD Black [12]

The VOW WOW Kyoji Yamamoto Model is now in stock!
This is the signature model of Kyoji Yamamoto, guitarist for VOW WOW, a band that has led Japan’s hard rock scene.

It features a basswood body, a mahogany neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and 24 frets.

The body shape—rounded yet aggressive—is uniquely original and captivating.

The neck features a soft V-shape that offers a solid grip, reflecting Yamamoto’s meticulous attention to detail.

It features Yamaha’s original Rockin’ Magic II bridge.
It can be raised or lowered.
The pickups have been replaced with Seymour Duncan models (front: JNJ, rear: TB-14).
The control layout has also been modified and now consists of front volume, rear volume, and master tone controls.
The neck is currently in good condition, but the truss rod is nearly at its limit in the tightening direction.
The sides of the body are painted white.
The escutcheon and knobs have been replaced.
There is a screw hole next to one of the knobs.
There are buckle marks on the back of the body.
There are scattered fine scratches and dents throughout the instrument, and the hardware shows some tarnish.
Although it shows some signs of use, it has been fully serviced and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is good.
