The pattern is difficult to see in the photos, so I've used an image from the official website in the second photo. Depending on the lighting, the pattern is hard to see, and personally, it looks like a regular black. Purchased new in January of this year from an online store of a certain musical instrument shop. I've played it a few times at home. I haven't changed the strings since I bought it. The setup is completely unchanged and is as it was when I bought it. Please check the appearance in the photos. There is no damage to the battery cover. ※I confirmed on the YAMAHA official website that it is a discontinued product and is no longer accepting orders. The clarity of the low B string due to the super long scale is its appeal. - Brand: YAMAHA - Color: TBL (Translucent Black) - Accessories: Soft case, strap Reference: Suggested retail price: 154,000 yen (tax included) [Manufacturer's Introduction] The 35-inch (889mm) super long scale, combined with the body and neck structure based on years of research, and the advanced pickups & circuit, create a clear sound image and powerful low-end sound. ・Maple + Alder laminated body ・5-piece neck structure resistant to warping and twisting ・Pickups are hum-canceling type that pursues a clear sound image ・Active 5-control system with 3-band equalizer ・Newly developed brass bridge that transmits string vibrations to the body with high conduction efficiency
