ATTITUDE LIMITED 3
Pickups and Electronics
Billy’s signature sound comes from a custom woofer pickup developed by YGD (Yamaha Guitar Development). Combining its heavy, powerful low-end and solid fundamental with a DiMarzio designed pickup at the bridge position delivers an incredible tonal range and a strong presence within the band. While stereo output jacks provide separate outputs for the front and rear pickups, mono output is also available. A high cut switch in the front pickup tone control boosts bass output from the front pickup.
Miter Bolting Neck Joint
Miter bolting holds the neck closer and tighter to the body fusing these two separate components into one. Compared to a conventional bolt-on joint, miter bolting efficiently transfers string vibration throughout the body with little loss. This delivers greater body resonance making each note come alive.
Spline Joint
This body structure makes Attitude LTDIII far more resonant than conventional 2 or 3-piece body instruments. Vibrations are transferred easily through the body for an immense, vibrant and loud tone that is unmistakably Attitude.
ATTITUDE LTDIII Neck
A big, thick neck features jumbo frets from frets 1-16 to produce outstanding sustain. The neck is held to the bass body with 4 screws to create a solid bond and tone. The neck also features scallops from frets 17 through 21 and a slap cut ground into the neck that provides greater string access.
ATTITUDE LTDIII Bridge
The solid brass bridge captures and transmits string vibration directly to the body, creating great low-end tone and attack.
Hipshot "D" Tuner
The Hipshot tuner drops the "E" string down a whole step to "D" with the flick is a lever. A gear adjustment provides precision tuning.

A.R.E / Acoustic Resonance Enhancement
A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) is an original wood reforming technology developed by Yamaha. Through precise controll of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the molecular properties of the wood can be manipulated into a more acoustically ideal condition, similar to the molecular characteristics of woods in instruments that have been played for years.
I.R.A. / Initial Response Acceleration
Om du spelat på annan gitarrists instrument och inte lyckats få fram samma sound, beror det antagligen på att du spelar i en annan stil än vad gitarren är van vid. Efter åratals spelande på samma instrument anpassar sig gitarren till gitarristens spelstil. Det tar tid för en gitarr att anpassa sig till din individuella spelstil. Det uppstår krafter mellan instrumentets olika delar: ytbehandling, trä, kropp, hals, greppbräda, sadel, stall, etc, och dessa måste frigöras innan alla delar kan klinga tillsammans som ett instrument. Det tar tid och krävs mycket spelande innan man når fram till det. Genom IRA-tekniken frigörs en slags spänningar genom att man utsätter den färdigbyggda gitarren för specifika vibrationer. Efter behandlingen svarar gitarren exaktare på gitarristens intentioner och får lättare att frambringa ljud. Det förkortar också den tid som behövs för att gitarren ska anpassa sig till din spelstil och förbättrar även sustainen (RSP20CR)
