Wes Borland Signature Model
Custom 33 Pickup Designed
by YASH and Wes
The Custom 33 pickups were developed
b y YA S H ( Ya m a h a A r t i s t 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.
