robocorpse Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Original SG2000, not the later inferior reissue. Push-push coiltaps, sustain block, all the usual SG2000 appointments, and its in the nicer dark tobacco sunburst, not the reddy one. It is well used and has had Sperzel tuners fitted, some buckle rash and scuffs etc, but its all there and sounds absolutely breathtaking. Will need a setup as it has been sitting in the case for about 3 years. Comes with original hard case with one latch missing. Sale due to cash crisis and subsequent realisation that I have far too many instruments.

Mykesbass Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Have a word with Brian at Wunjo in Denmark St - he sold my much later 30th Anniversary re-issue for about £1200 on a pretty good comission deal. Yours being an old original is probably worth a fair bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robocorpse Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks for the well meant offer, but I'd rather chew my left arm off than deal with anyone remotely connected with Denmark Street unless its cash straight into my hands there and then.

zigmondo Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yep, for the UK as from 1980. I've never come across a guitar that coil-splits as well as a Yammy SG2000. Bootiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootiful.[/quote] Well, for the world, other than the USA, where it would have been an SBG2000, and Japan, where it would have remained SG2000. As for any other guitar splitting coils like an SG2000, an original SG2000 didn't feature coil taps; that feature was added when the design was revised in 1980, and the three-piece top was replaced with a carved one-piece, among other changes.

zigmondo Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well done mate. I do apologise, as I merely meant to sound supportive;I do have a 1980 coiltapped non-S tobacco one and was all excited-like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
