Reb Beach was a super guitarist who captivated the hearts of many guitar players with his transcendent technique during the 80's rock freak movement. There are many signature models of the Suhr brand's RebBeach Koa model, but Reb Beach himself has been using it for a long time from live performances to recording, and it is highly popular all over the world.

What we would like to introduce to you today is the actual machine that RebBeach himself custom-ordered and actually owned and used. The content of the order is different from the general RebBeach Koa model, and it is a piece specially arranged for RebBeach, made by Mr. Kenny Gin, who has been active as a master builder since the company's founding. In addition, the production year is 2003, but since Reb Beach joined Whitesnake in the same year, it is assumed that this premium was ordered with that in mind.

First of all, as a special spec, the body only has Koa written on the spec sheet, but in reality it has a core top mahogany back, and the core of the body top is the finest curly color that is different from other similar models on the market. Koa is used, and in addition to the exotic vertical grain that is unique to Koa material, the 3D figured flame that shows off various glares depending on the angle stands out. In addition, by using a center book match, the inverted V-shaped figured frame and V-shaped vertical grains combine to create a unique and exquisite look. The mahogany used for the body back is also a very high quality material, and the total weight is approximately 3.54 kg, making it by far the lightest among the same models. Next, the familiar Pau Ferro is used for the neck, and although it is listed as 1 piece Pau Ferro on the spec sheet, it is actually a Pau Ferro neck with a pasted fingerboard specification, and the material used is It is also a wonderful material with a very deep contrast. Other features include a special engraved gold brand logo head with a high-gloss finish, fingerboard position marks with clay dot markers, and the familiar EvenCRB .8-.850 neck shape is thin but extremely strong, making it easy to grip. The neck grip makes it easy for anyone to play instantly. The fingerboard has a compound radius of 11-14 and is even flatter than the same model, with heavy-sized frets and a 22F flange, and the tuner is a wrap-around Sparzel non-locking, recessed tuner that Rev Beach prefers. Of course, the Floyd Rose bridge is made of gold, and the back of the headstock is signed by the artist himself, and is coated with a signature so that it will not fade.

As for the sound, the pickup is a passive direct mount, and on the spec sheet it says JSNoisefreesingle-B, JSNoisefreesingle-N M, and JSTBucker, but in reality it's a custom-made Dimarzio DP402 in the front and Dimarzio JVV07 in the middle. Pickup specifications, and the rear is equipped with a custom hand-wound humbucker double-adjust pole piece with the DSH model name and JohnSuhr's hand sign on the back of the PU. Benefiting greatly from the carefully selected finest materials, it has a rich harmonic sense and a sticky, thick mid-low range that surpasses other materials. In addition, the rare pau ferro material, which has a higher hardness than maple, allows the body rumble to flow straight through to the end of the neck, creating a deep and long sustain. In addition, by tightening the body's resonance, it emphasizes the firmness and contour of each note. As for the characteristics of each pickup, the front middle single coil is surprisingly noiseless even when driving, and has a sharp cut and moderate thickness and power, while the rear humbucker has a tasteful thickness and moderate compression feeling. It has a very wide sound range and can be used in any genre. In addition, the combination of PU is very well thought out, and the balance is exquisite in every position, bringing out the potential of the material itself to 120%, combining delicacy and strength, wonderful sound response and pleasant sustain, as expected from the person himself. It outputs a sound that gives you goosebumps and gives you the feeling that it was made especially for you. The maturation of the sound due to further playing is due to Mr. Rev Beach himself.
I think this is another point that fans can't stand.

Lastly, as for the condition, this is to be expected for an individual with such a good sound, but there are undeniable signs of use such as picking scratches and scuffs on various parts, but I would like to say that it has been handled by a professional and has been dropped or hit. There are no noticeable dents, and since it is finished with figured core natural oil, scratches and damage are hard to see, and the hardware is in good condition, giving it a clean impression at first glance. In terms of playing, the neck is in good condition, with plenty of room for the truss rod, and there are no noticeable dents on the frets, with more than 8 frets remaining, and there are no problems with the electrical equipment. The accessories include a spec sheet with the dealer's name indicating that it was ordered by RebBeach and himself, a complete set of special tools and BFTS manuals, and the original black tolex case. .

An artist release product that boasts a value that is completely different from the regular model. It may be still fresh in your memory that recently in 2019, David Gilmore put his collection up for auction and it sold for $3.97 million, or about 420 million yen at the exchange rate at the time. Furthermore, this particular guitar is not only an actual guitar that he has owned and used, but it is also an extremely valuable premium guitar that was commissioned by Mr. Reb Beach himself. Of course, there is no market price, so it is a complete asking price, but thanks to the kindness of the previous owner, we were able to offer it to you at a very reasonable price for an artist release item. If you are a fan, this is a one-of-a-kind collectible item that will last a lifetime, so if you are interested, please seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The date on the spec sheet is June 2003, so it says it was made in 2003, but inside the neck pocket there is a 5 2001 written along with KennyGin's signature, so the production itself is Presumably from 2001. There is a description of REBS on the neck end, and it is assumed that it means REBBEACH SPECIALS or REB s.
