1981 Vintage Yamaha SG2000 with All Original 70's Features and Hardshell Case. (Les Paul Killer Classic) Blackberry Photos (To be Upgraded): [url="http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/Schnozzalee/Music%20Gear/"]http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/S...e/Music%20Gear/[/url] High Definition Photos: [url="http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/Schnozzalee/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ28"]http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/S...;cpZZ1QQtppZZ28[/url] One of the much sought after guitars as designed by Yamaha and Santana in '76. As played by: Santana, Neil Schon (Journey), Brian Robertson (Thin Lizzy), Bob Marley, Stuart Adamson (Big Country), Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes Band), Bill Nelson (Beebop Deluxe) etc. 9.5/10 Condition. All original with no issues! However please read... Inidication that its from the 70's: 3 Piece Maple Top Distinct to the Takabayashi Factory Originals. Visible 20mm Maple Through Neck/Body Stripe. Brown Plush Fur inside its Hardshell Case. No coil tap option. Truss Rod Cover - SG2000 not SG2000S. Inidication that its from '81: Serial Number begins with 0404 instead of 0044. I have researched this model time and time again along with the kind help of BC's expert Noelk27 and the serial number has confused Yamaha's customer service also - The previous owner has assured me that it was bought in the year of '79 and no later. You won't lose money on my asking price anyway as a modern secondhand one goes for the same (at GUITAR GUITAR). That aside... Spec: 22 Fret Abalone chevron and Bound Ebony Fingerboard with uber low super quick action, 10 gauge strings, no fretbuzz, frets have been recently restoned with loads of play left in them. Double Cutaway for easy reach to the highest frets (SCREEEEEAM!!!) 3 Piece maple top in 'Red Burst' (Dark orange fade to Reddy Brown to match the mahogany), also Bound with engraved T-O-M Bridge etc. It also has Santana's brass sustain block underneath so notes ring and ring with a more natural tone and character than a fernandes sustainer pickup. The thru neck body is 7 piece (mahog/mahog/mahog/maple/mahog/mahog/mahog) and there is a piece of maple in transition between the ebony fingerboard and the neck. It's build quality is impeccable earning its similar comparison to that of Gibson Custom Shop. Two Pro Alnico V's, many people change these and then revert back to them realising Yamaha got it right the first time (They have not been changed on this guitar). They're akin to an SG's bright tone with piano-like clarity as opposed to the muddiness of a Les Paul...but still has the dense body to compensate for sustain and thickens up the tone considerably. A great lead style guitar (Santana). I love this guitar, and this one doesn't weigh a tonne, its similar to a Les Paul and I use a wide guitar strap and can happily play it for 2 hours standing up AND I have a back injury from a tyre factory so rest assured. REASON FOR SELLING: I traded this for the equivalent of £1300 of my previous gear predicting it to have a quick turn around (judging by Ebay) and be a sound stable investment, the fact that it was designed by one of my favourite guitarists and played by my parents No.1 Live Gig - Big Country - was only a bonus. I'm wanting to setup a guitar rig as I only have a small Marshall at current so money is needed. [color="#FF0000"]£1300 collected.[/color]

I've played on of these, one of the nicest clean channels i've ever heard

It basses like this that make me wanna sell my guitars

I want a new pickguard for my Ryder other than the original, what did the Bass Doc make for you? Great Basses

Gah! Bad timing . Missed out on this one the last time it sold!

[quote name='thatgrantboy' post='1242175' date='May 23 2011, 08:16 PM']Free bump here, just to say just how darn nice that tobacco burst looks with a black pickguard, and how well the honey neck looks with it all. What a stunner.[/quote] Took the words out of my mouth

Its got flats on it too making it even better

Celluloid Tortoise Shell Plate!! That would make it probably the best painted bass ever. I love rosewood

Nicest SR5 I've seen, I'd change the pickup to white and the controls to chrome if I owned it

I always wondered what Sheryl played!!!

Lovely bass too!! haha

Cool Avatar, Very Cool

Thankyou! Not too bad then! The neck finish is unusual, kind of like a matt red but looks smooth and fast.

Really wanted one o these a couple o years back, how much does it weigh?

I really like it with the gold plate, looks amazing!! Is it really as beefy sounding as the Youtube videos make out? I had the same problem with my ESP - the lack of soundclips never fully exemplified the tone, but just wondering if you think it nails it or not?

Looks like its made out of Chocolate

Thats such a beautiful bass
