YAMAHA IN-1 (CASIOPEA Noro Issei Signature Model)

YAMAHA IN-1 (CASIOPEA Issei Noro Signature Model)

In the early 1990s, Cassiopeia's guitarist "Issei Noro" himself supervised and designed and developed YAMAHA, which was launched in 1994 after about two years of development. "IN-1" has arrived. A rare model that can only be obtained second-hand now!

A special semi-hollow body with a light weight of 3.38 kg and vivid see-through blue, which was realized at the request of the person himself, and an ebony fingerboard with a white pearl shell decoration on the outer circumference and star-shaped position marks. It is a high-quality one that boasts a high degree of perfection, filled with the spirit of the craftsmen of the time and Issey Noro's commitment to creating something unique to Yamaha that is a bit different from Gibson and Fender.

Equipped with a "TRS-Pro" tremolo unit that can withstand bold arm playing, a soap bar type DiMarzio pickup with an HSH layout, and a bi-sound (humbucker/single switch with a coil tap) that provides 17 types of variety. A guitar with a wide range of sound variations.

It is a model that will become a living creature for fans.

electrical system, neck condition is good! Comes with a hard case, arm, and instructions.

The Noro model has arrived after a long time, but with its characteristic shape and specifications, it has a beautiful sound and good balance that can only be made in Japan, and a retro atmosphere that is unique to Yamaha. Like the high school and junior high school models, it is packed with irresistible charm for fans.
There are quite a lot of sound variations, and if you learn little by little by reading the manual and mastering the on / off function of each pickup, it seems that you can make any sound. It's semi-hollow, so I'm happy that it has an airy feel.
I think that less and less people are gradually letting go after production ends. It will be a valuable model, so if you are a fan who has been looking for it, please don't miss this chance and get it!
If you play Cassiopeia songs with this, it's perfect! !
