YK Chough

This has the S/N YKC-0001 and as such is the very first production model of the 'Chough' series guitars.

It features a solid ash body with an oil finish, a 21 fret maple neck with maple fretboard, Alpha pots with 3-way telecaster style switching.

This body shape and headstock design is the result of several prototypes and experiments and is well balanced and comfortable to wear and play, this example has no comfort carves or weight relief but is still a manageable weight.  It's fairly minimalist in design and also features an old school chunky bakelite pickguard, miniature fret dot markers and a contrasting inlaid headstock.
