Description: 

The Yamaha Image Deluxe aka Yamaha MSG Deluxe is a double cut guitar designed by Martyn Booth in the UK. Martyn Booth now makes his own custom guitars. The Yamaha Image was based on the Gibson 335-S, a solid body version of the ES-335. In the uK the "Image" name was already taken so the guitar was called the Yamaha MSG (Martyn's Solid Guitar). It featured a mahogany body with a carved maple top and a set-in D-shaped mahogany neck. Just like a PRS the scale is 25". The Yamaha Image Deluxe has a bound ebony fretboard and two Yamaha "Live" GH-1 Humbuckers. Other features are:

  • Yamaha RM-Pro tremolo
  • Locking nut
