LukeFRC Posted September 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted September 29, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggo Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 That's lovely, looks more SG like in a lot of ways. In fact probably prettier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted October 18, 2013 Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the sale fell through at the 11th hour so this is available again. 399 or trades for bass stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
