LukeFRC Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) This. Yamaha's answer to a Les Paul. sorry, Yamaha's mid range answer to a les Paul. 1984ish sounds great, plays great, coil tapped - i'm a bass player and it just gathers dust. More photos and details for anyone who wants them.... this is a bass forum so this advert might just gather dust.... I'm in Leeds, no hard case so posting may be a challenge. The clear out continues.... Edited October 24, 2013 by LukeFRC
oldslapper Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 These 80's SGs are seriously good guitars, and IMHO wonderfully consistent, in terms of build quality. I can't remember owning a "duff" yamaha guitar or bass. GLWTS.

Greggo Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 That's lovely, looks more SG like in a lot of ways. In fact probably prettier.

[/quote] one of my best friends has a degree or two in music tech, worked in the LA studio scene for a few years at some big studios.... and he kept thinking it was a copy of a Gibson SG. ... it's not really it's Yamaha's version of a les paul that happens to look more like a pretty version of a SG
steve-bbb Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 gaaawwwww jus i was in a band back in 90s and our guitarer had one of these it was bloody fantastic - this thing will sing as good as any LP
LukeFRC Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 any interest out there if I lowered the price a bit?
itsmedunc Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 [i]Definitely more like a Les Paul than an SG. I think these were a cutaway LP despite the SG name. A mate of mine has an SG2000 from the early 80's and that is the best guitar I have ever come across (Early Santana and Jake Burns). Another mate has an SG500, again another great guitar. I have a Yamaha Studio Lord 360 which looks like a Les Paul but sounds uncannily like the SG2000. Good old Yamaha in the 80's. Love em..[/i]
