🎸 Yamaha RGX612D – Rare Left-Handed, Made in Japan (1987, Hamamatsu Factory) – Vintage White (aged to Cream)

Up for sale is a one-of-a-kind Yamaha RGX612D, an ultra-rare left-handed, Made in Japan

example from the very first production year of the model (serial: 5N01021, July 1987).


Unlike the more common Taiwanese-built RGX series guitars, this one was built in Yamaha’s Hamamatsu factory, the same facility responsible for their flagship SG2000 and high-end SA series.

✅ Key Features Model: Yamaha RGX612D (first catalog appearance: 1987) Origin: Made in Japan, Hamamatsu factory

Serial: 5N01021 (July 1987, very early run)

Orientation: Left-handed (exceptionally rare; likely special order or limited batch)

Body: Basswood, contoured super-strat design

Neck: Bolt-on maple, rosewood fingerboard,

24 jumbo frets,

350 mm radius

Electronics: H-S-S configuration – Yamaha Alnico V humbucker + 2 Yamaha Alnico V single-coils

Controls: 1x Volume, 2x Tone, 5-way switch with coil split

Bridge: Yamaha RM II double-locking tremolo system (original)

Finish: Originally White, aged naturally to a beautiful vintage Cream/Yellow patina

Condition: All original; normal cosmetic aging (finish yellowing, light wear), but structurally solid and fully functional. Tremolo, tuners, and electronics all work as intended.


🔥 Why This Guitar is Special True MIJ build: Most RGX612Ds were made in Taiwan; this is a Japan-built, Hamamatsu factory piece. Left-handed rarity: Very few left-handed RGX guitars were ever made in this era, making this extremely hard to find. Early production: Serial dates it to July 1987 – the very first year of catalogued RGX612D production.

Vintage character: The naturally aged finish gives it a unique look and vintage authenticity. 💰 Value Comparable right-handed Taiwanese RGX612Ds trade in the €350–600 range. Given this guitar’s Japan build, left-handed rarity, and early production date, it sits in a completely different class. Serious collectors of Yamaha and rare MIJ superstrats will recognize its value. 📦
