The Yamaha TRB1005 is It's a top-of-the-line instrument constructed from premium-grade woods and versatile, active electronics. The 35" scale neck is constructed from three pieces of maple and has a dual actin truss rod for extreme stability. The neck is topped by a snappy (Indian?)rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets, real mother-of-pearl inlays and real abalone logo. The contoured alder 3 piece body features a beautiful quilted maple cap and just ridiculously perfect build tolerances. Electronics include custom-designed alnico magnet single coil + dummy coil pickups, an active 3-band EQ, and a pickup pan pot. Black nickel hardware, including a solid brass bridge. Weighs 9lbs 5oz.

I own 2, selling ONE (slightly better condition). This is a later year run with a slightly smaller body refinement, in near mint condition. Just stunning. Only noticeable character I can see is a slight shadow line UNDERNEATH some of the strings (only visible when changing them out). Frets are in excellent condition. Don't be fooled by light reflections and such in the pics... this thing is in really fine condition. Ships with a crappy gig bag.

The B string is just AWESOME, so useable. and versatile. ridiculous construction and build execution. Very flexible tone options for really short money.

$949 + shipping to the Lower 48
Thanks for looking

Latest questions

Do the pickups operate as single-coil or dual coil? Not sure from the description. They sound like dual coil in the video-thanks!

Dual Coil with a 'Dummy Coil' for noise cancelling. Different than Humbuckers though

It’s my understanding that the pickups function as single coils, with the dummy coils providing hum cancellation but not participating in signal transduction of string movement (perhaps lacking magnetic elemants). In this way, the pickups are not what you would ordinarily think of as dual coil humbucker pickups in, say, the Gibson sense. As well, the balance of the sensing coils with the dummy coils can be adjusted onboard using the native preamp, changing both the degree of noise cancellation and the pickup tone to some extent. It follows that in these instruments the pickups and preamp are coupled unusually intimately and replacing either individually is really not feasible. (I stand to be corrected.)
