Made in Japan, for the domestic market only, the VG Standard was produced by Yamaha from May 1993 for about 10 years, and it appears in at least four Japanese catalogues of that period. These guitars are officially known as Aska or sometimes Chage Aska after the very popular Japanese artists of the 90s (although Chage had his own Yamaha model - the MGS).
It is a solid body archtop guitar, violin shaped with black painted fake F holes, and were only made with this Antique Sunburst finish. The body is Mahogany with a Maple top. The bolt on Maple neck has a 22 fret Rosewood fretboard and the power comes from 2 fantastic YGSB-A1C P90 AlnicoV pickups.
This 1997 model is in superb condition, although there is one very small ding on the back stopping us marking it as mint condition (too small to catch on a picture). The guitar has been setup with a new set of DR Blues 10s, and comes complete with a padded gig bag.
