Troy Van Leeuwen Signature Model
Troy van Leeuwen has navigated his way through a variety of musical genres and has left his indelible mark in each of them. From session work with Depeche Mode, Korn, and Limp Bizkit to his role in A Perfect Circle, Troy has mastered it all. Most recently, Troy joined the fantastically bizarre Queens of the Stone Age to embark on his latest ethereal musical journey. His guitar of Choice? Troy's own Yamaha signature model SA503 TVL.
Constructed of maple, the SA503 TVL is a semi-hollow body guitar with a set-in maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard, three soapbar-style single-coil pickups, and custom "all access" multi-function switching systems with dual 3-way selectors. A chrome pedestal bridge and a licensed Bigsby tremolo add to the vintage feel with Troy's custom features on a proven classic design.
Pickups
The semi-hollow body is matched with three single coil units that produce a bright and clear tone with well balanced low-end.
Controls
Two pickup switches provide access to seven pickup combinations. (All Access System)
