? Finish & Appearance

• Finish code: SOB, meaning Solid Black.

• Elegant, high-gloss black lacquer finish for a sleek, professional look.

• Chrome hardware (lugs, hoops, mounts) complements the dark shell beautifully.

? Shell Construction

• Made from 100% North American birch, using a 6-ply (~6 mm thick) shell.

• Provides a bright, punchy, and highly focused sound with strong attack.

• Features 30° rounded bearing edges for easy tuning and clear articulation.

? Sound & Tone

• Classic Recording Custom sound: clean, crisp, and balanced.

• 12″ diameter delivers warmth and full-bodied tone, while 10″ depth provides depth and resonance without losing definition.

• Excellent projection and controlled sustain, ideal for both live and studio settings.

⚙️ Hardware & Mounting

• Lugs: One-piece weighted, high-tension design for stable tuning and reduced shell vibration.

• Hoops: 1.6 mm triple-flange steel hoops for open, musical resonance and reliable rim shots.

• Mount: Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (Y.E.S.S.) suspension mount, which allows the shell to resonate more freely.
