Just picked this baby up last Friday. A Yamaha SA503 TVL (Troy Van Leeuwen signature - I had no idea who this guy was before buying this guitar. He's currently in Queens of the Stone Age and has toured with A Perfect Circle and some other bands).
Haven't had much time to actually play it yet, but so far so good. Fit and finish are fantastic - action was a little high for my liking, but that's no big deal.
The 3 single coils sound great and the dual 3-way toggle switches are really cool. One of them controls the bridge and neck positions while the other one is just for the middle pickup - position 1 is off, 2 is blend and the 3rd position is middle only (shuts off the neck and bridge). Huge range of tone variations.
And now some pix...
Cheers,
Joe
