Yamaha releases Toseland signature guitar

Yamaha insurance customers can combine their passions for motorcycles and music with a new product from the Japanese manufacturer.

The company has commissioned a limited run of guitars which feature the livery used by James Toseland in the World Superbike Championship, the Motorcycle News reports.

Only five of the RGX-A2 JT guitars have been made, one for Toseland himself and the other four going to competition winners.

Yamaha claims that the guitar benefits from "a unique combination of traditional electric guitar craftsmanship and highly advanced acoustic and digital technology."

When not flying around the track on his superbike, Toseland, a trained pianist, plays in his band Crash back on the Isle of Man.

The British rider remains one of only two men to win the World Superbike Championship with two different manufacturers, having won on a Ducati in 2004 and then again on a Ten Kate Honda bike in 2007.
