[Greg Fessler's background]

-----

The guitar we're introducing this time features an alder body, a large headstock with the CBS logo, a round-faced rosewood fingerboard with 70s-style F logo pegs, a straight-grained maple neck with a faint hint of heather and a four-point joint, following the 1970s specifications favored by Greg Fessler, and the Yamano signature on the neck pocket suggests it was a shop order from that time.

The pickups are gray bobbin on the front and black bobbin on the center and rear, and there are no signs of modifications, suggesting the circuit is original. There are some faint dents and scratches, especially on the sides of the body, some tarnish and rust on the metal parts, and slight weather checking near the joint plate, but the frets remain at about 70% of their original height, and the neck, truss rod, electrical system, and playing aspects are in excellent player condition.

With a high-quality lacquer finish that feels comfortable in your hand, a C-shaped grip that supports smooth playing, a tremolo unit that works smoothly once you touch it, and a high-quality sound with a thick, clear attack, once you get your hands on this supreme masterpiece you'll understand why it's loved by so many musicians. Be sure to consider it!
