I seen catalog that, all the BBNE2 model has golden hardware with White finish.
Is any with Black Hardware on White Body ?

I am bout to buy one and seller sent me the photo of black hardware on White. Looks nice, but just wonder.

I guess the seller bought black parts and put them on himself. As far as I know, the stock models come with gold hardwares. You should ask the seller about it.

Get as many pictures of the bass as you can and compare it to the the pics and specs listed on the Yamaha site. There is no standard option for black hardware so he might have done it himself or it may be fake. Three things in particular to look for would be the headstock, bridge (should be individual saddles), and the input jack which has a boxlike cut away. Best to be through when unsure .

daydreamer0801 // Seller's second user. Bought in guitar shop, he said.
Kwesi // I bought it already. And, it's exactly same as Gold Hardware, but only color. Yep, I like this. ^^. Actually, knobs are different but it's easy parts to change whenever I want. ^^;

But.. It has an ebony fretboard. Isn't it?

Maybe the first owner contacted Yamaha and asked for a black hardware...

yep. without hardware, everything's same as regula NE2. Eboy and all the inlay including 12th "BB EAST".
I try to reach Yamaha Japan about custom order or NE2. But US distribute doesn't have option for it, they said.
