Ibanez YY20 OCS Yvette Young Signature Electric Guitar - Orange Cream Sparkle

Ibanez YY20 OCS Yvette Young Signature Electric Guitar - Orange Cream Sparkle

Ever since she came on to the scene, multi-instrument Yvette Young has been breaking through the barriers and conventions of what was thought as being possible on the electric guitar. With her incredibly unique playstyle and the originality emanating from every note of her instrumental compositions in her band Covet, Yvette has truly taken the guitar world by storm. Utilizing a highly developed two-handed tapping technique, Yvette’s guitar playing is as instantly recognizable as it is immensely inspiring. Playing off of that same inspiration, Yvette and Ibanez have teamed up to release the Ibanez YY, the Yvette Young signature model. Based on one of Yvette’s custom Ibanez Talmans, the YY offers an opportunity for all guitarists everywhere to be inspired.

The Ibanez YY20 OCS Yvette Young Signature Electric Guitar, finished in Orange Cream Sparkle, features an extremely comfortable and stable Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard. An Alder body delivers a well-balanced, pleasantly bright tone, with excellent resonance and sustain, as well as creating the perfect tonal foundation for a pair of Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Pickups. These pickups use the soft treble attack and low string pull of an Alnico II bar magnet, combined with a special vintage output coil wind to create a warm, sweet tone that is smooth and full, with tons of natural sustain. These bridge single coil is perfect for vintage Tele twang, with an added smoky sweetness on the high end, while the neck single coil's deep drawn chrome-plated brass cover adds a sweet, hollow tone that sounds great clean and dirty. Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time, while a Gotoh GTC202 bridge, equipped with six individual string saddles, provides superior intonation. Every YY20 comes with a special sheet of stickers designed by Yvette Young herself.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Ibanez YY20 OCS Yvette Young Signature Electric Guitar, finished in Orange Cream Sparkle, is a great option for not just Yvette Young fans, but anyone looking for an expertly designed modded-Talman style electric that's super comfortable to play, and perfect for two-hand tapping, soundscape creation, and playing across genres.
