New Yamaha Nathan East signature

[Dazed]

I’m amazed if I’m the first to post anything about this but.....

I love this new signature model. The looks, sound, style. What are the chances it will go into production?

This has definitely thrown a spanner into the workings of my future purchase plans!

I'm a fan, I've always wanted the ne2 but if this goes into production (particularly if they do a 5 string model) I'll be sorely tempted

That top cutout...”where’s me washboard? Eh?”

[therealting]

If it didn’t have that cutout I’d probably find this very appealing.

Also, this particular specimen is touted at 10lbs (and a few lbs) heavy........that’s with the cut-out.

Yeah, I saw that. Jesus, what did it weigh before they chopped a third out of it.

Concrete... gives it heft.

“What do you play?”

”Lead guitar.”

”It’s pronounced LEED.”

”No it’s not. Hold out your hand.”

That was meant to be an F-hole, but the CNC router had a bit of a paddy..

Saw the photo and thought it was from the next Star Wars movie.

Is this traditionalists corner?  😁

 

personally i like that its moved far from the BB NE shape. Then again I am a fan of Basslabs creations too.

Y: "You should have a single cut as they are in fashion at the moment."

NE: "This is SO heavy, should it be lighter? You know, Sadowsky makes these carvings, so..."

Y: "Now, we took off the headstock and carved it a bit. It isn't that heavy anymore. Now go and (4) play it at the gig."

That’s simply hideous.

Hahaha. Polite Victorian put downs.

Baffling design for nothing other than aesthetic. Cut that massive handle off and you're closer to 9lb.. 

[totorbass]

It is very bathroomish.
