The Yamaha Image Deluxe aka Yamaha MSG Deluxe is a double cut guitar designed by Martyn Booth in the UK. Martyn Booth now makes his own custom guitars. The Yamaha Image was based on the Gibson 335-S, a solid body version of the ES-335. In the UK the "Image" name was already taken so the guitar was called the Yamaha MSG (Martyn's Solid Guitar).

The Yamaha Image Deluxe featured a mahogany body with a carved maple top and a set-in D-shaped mahogany neck with a bound ebony fretboard and a Locking nut, neck measures 20mm at the nut and 22mm at the 12th fret, it's 13.75" radius and jumbo fret wire allows to achieve an extremely low action, the bridge is a Yamaha RM-Pro tremolo. Pickups are 2 Yamaha "Live" GH-1 Humbuckers.
