Billy Sheehan Signature Model. Legendary Gear, Third Generation.
Based on the Attitude Limited II, this third-generation ATTITUDE LIMITED incorporates new technologies such as the "spline joint" adopted in the new BB series.
"Equipped with Custom DiMarzio Pickups"
As with previous models, the rear pickup continues to use the DiMarzio Billy Sheehan Signature "Will Power" pickup. However, the woofer pickup—the defining feature of the Billy model—is equipped with an original DiMarzio pickup designed by Yamaha and co-developed with Billy specifically for this model.
This new pickup, refined from the Yamaha-original woofer pickup featured on the BB714BS, was developed by re-examining its fundamental structure based on Billy’s advice.Constructed as a humbucker with blade-type pole pieces, and with meticulous attention paid to even the wire gauge and coating of the coils, it delivers ultra-low frequencies with even greater impact than before. At the same time, joint development with Billy—conducted in parallel with the new neck joint method described below—proved successful, resulting in a thinner pickup design.
"Body featuring the 'spline joint method,' which accurately transmits string vibration energy throughout the entire body with excellent vibration characteristics similar to a one-piece construction"
As before, the body is crafted from alder, known for its balanced, warm midrange, and incorporates the spline joint system used in the new BB2000 and 1000 models. Thanks to the spline connecting the center where the strings pass through and both sides, this three-piece construction—designed to withstand environmental changes—delivers excellent vibration characteristics akin to a one-piece body, accurately transmitting string vibration energy throughout the entire body.
Furthermore, by incorporating the wood treatment technology “A.R.E.”, combined with the spline joint structure and the I.R.A. treatment described below, we have achieved a body with the finest tone recognized by Billy.
"Wood Modification Technology A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement)"
A.R.E. is Yamaha’s proprietary wood modification technology that alters the microscopic physical properties of the wood to mimic those of a well-worn vintage guitar by precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. It has been applied to the body of the ATTITUDE LIMITED3. This treatment achieves excellent attack and sustain.(The graph shows that low-frequency sustain is increased, the attack in the mid-to-high frequencies is more pronounced, and after the sound attacks, the harsh high-frequency components decay more quickly.) Furthermore, a key feature of this process is that it uses absolutely no chemicals, resulting in a low environmental impact. The underlying technology was born from our company’s fundamental research into wood as a musical instrument material, conducted over many years.
"I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) Treatment"
This technology reduces stress between the finish, adhesives, wood, and parts by applying vibrations at the optimal resonance frequency specific to each instrument while it is tuned, thereby making the instrument “easier to play” right from the moment it is new.
"Neck Joint"
Previous models were secured using four wood screws from the back of the body and two inside the body, all of different lengths. Billy is a player who frequently uses “neck bends”—bending the neck itself to control pitch—so improving joint strength was a key focus in developing this new model.
The new neck joint, which incorporates an additional 45-degree angled screw, applies force not only vertically but also horizontally to pull the neck toward the body. This not only achieves the required joint strength but also improves the efficiency of vibration transmission between the neck and body, resulting in a tighter sound.
"Certificate of Authenticity Signed by Billy"
Included with the instrument is a certificate signed by Billy himself, certifying that the instrument was produced at Yamaha Music Craft, where it underwent final adjustments by skilled craftsmen and an I.R.A. treatment process.
