Made in Taiwan SG200, dating to 22 October 1984: three-piece agathis or saman (although some suggest one-piece mahogany) body, three-piece mahogany (although some suggest nato) set-neck construction, with rosewood touchboard; two humbucker pickups, with two volume controls and two tone controls, and three-position pickup selector switch; chromed tailpiece and bridge and enclosed "Yamaha Japan" branded tuning gear; 22 fret, 628mm (24.75") scale length; 42mm nut width. Brown stain finish. In excellent condition for its age. No issues, minimal wear, although both pickup surrounds have surface cracks. £250, including postage within mainland Great Britain.

Trades: Interested in Daion (PowerMark guitars/basses), Ibanez (Artist guitars/Stagemaster basses), Tokai (Talbo guitars/basses), Yamaha (SA, SAS, SC, SF guitars/SA, SB basses), and early Status Empathy four-string.

..I love it when you come out with the Yams...lovely!
(I also would have guessed from the jpeg at a 3-piece mahogany body.)
So surprised this didn't shift like a greased weasel Noel... a set neck guitar with mojo, beautifully crafted, with a hard case..for just over 3 ton.
Does a seam of Yammys run under your house?! :)

What do these things sound like and how would they compare to the SG2000 model?

As the 200 doesn't have the high-end pickups found fitted to the 1000/2000, it has more in common with other traditional humbucker equipped guitars. It's a little fatter sounding than other 70s and 80s Japanese designs, such as the Washburn T-Bird (against the Falcon/Eagle), but not capable of the sweet mellow mids and cutting highs of the 1000/2000. Build quality wise, it's a chunky, solid bit of wood, nowhere as near weighty as a 1000/2000. Generally, it would be like comparing a Mexican Strat to a US Custom Shop Strat, say. Same basic design, but lacking the quality hardware and components.

Hi there this guitar looks like a beauty, i wanted to ask what the sounds are like on it? like does it have a rich warm tone or twangy, or both even?
and would you be interested in a trade for an Epiphone dot in sunburst?

I have a similar age/lower end yamaha SG - and the thing is amazing. My one is rich and warm, and with the coil tap I added it has a single coil type twang too. With a nice body to it if you know what I mean?

Unlike your 400, the 200 utilises lesser woods and omits the carved top and the finer embellishments, such as binding. That said, the 200 is a solid performer, easily bettering the made in China Epiphones and Tokais of today.

Best policy etc etc. There was a black one (with replacement Grover tuners) for sale recently, at a store South of the Border. Asking price was £350.
