oFTEN CONSIDERED TO BE A YAMAHA AES920, WHILST BARING SOME RESEMBLANCE, A NUMBER OF “FEATURES” WOULD SUGGEST OTHERWISE:
BARITONE SCALE LENGTH
24 FRETS
NO FRET MARKERS
PICKUP SELECTOR PLACEMENT
4 KNOBS/POTS
TAILPIECE bridge
iF ANYTHING, IT IS MORE AKIN TO THE bARITONE Yamaha AES820D6.
We believe it to be a custom built guitar.
Buckethead already had the Yamaha when joining Guns N’ Roses.
First seen at 2001 Rock in Rio for a performance of nightrain, it was used again in september 2002 for 3 C2B3 shows. this was between g n’ r shows, so the assumption is that the white les pauls and kfc v were in storage with the bands touring equipment.
It has not been seen since!
