Starting from the thread about the new Petrucci Prototypes, I made some thoughts about the different Y2D-prototypes I have seen so far. To have a better overview, I made a diagram with all types I saw live/found by surfing through the web.
No 1. I found this one in the web. This may be a very early prototype, because it is not seen anymore. Also it is common, that Sterling added a binding, so I think this model was before this.
No. 2 & 3 are the one, Steve plays live. I think No. 3 is not really a prototype. The only thing, which is different to a regular model is the colour of the pickup-switch.
No. 4 is the one from the announcement of the Y2D. I have never seen Steve playing on. I´ve got only this picture.
No. 5 is a bit tricky. Please watch the first video on www.ernieball.com/smy2d/main.html At the end of this little film, the guy in the background handles a guitar, which MAY be black (I´m not sure!). It has cream-coloured Pickups which look like a Y2D. Maybe there is a black prototype. Please take a look and tell me what you think.
Does anyone know other prototypes, has a picture of it?
Can we see production pictures (like Petrucci-prototype)? That would be really sensational. Or every information about the work on the Y2D together with Steve would be interesting.
Thank you everyone for your interest and your participation on this thread
