1980 Yamaha SG-1000 Double Cutaway Electric Guitar (Cherry Sunburst) (w/ OHSC)

1980 Yamaha SG-1000 Double Cutaway Electric Guitar (Cherry Sunburst) (w/ OHSC)

First introduced in the mid-1960s, the famous Yamaha SG series of guitars was Yamaha's first venture into electric guitar manufacturing, although differed significantly in design from the typical "SG" shape we all know and recognise today and the one on display here (think Flying Samurais and Bananas). This design came about in 1974 with the SG-175 and SG-90, which later evolved into the SG-2000 and SG-1000 series of guitars (among a few other big numbers).

Laminated "sandwich" mahogany body with a carved maple top, the SG-1000 series is essentially a double-cut carved top Les Paul with some seriously kick-ass factory splittable humbuckers, decorative hardware and binding and the classic Japanese quality we're all familiar with.

This one is in good used condition for its age with no shortage of dings, chips and dents. All wear is honest however and the guitar certainly aligns with it's equally worn, sticker-bombed original hard shell case. If this guitar could talk I'm sure it would have some stories to tell! Thankfully it's been professionally serviced and setup with 10-46s so you can keep telling the story. Despite the wear, the guitar has absolutely no structural issues whatsoever and feels rock solid. The guitar has been refretted at some stage and has a new nut installed. Aside from a missing pickguard, she's all original and ready to rock. As mentioned, comes with it's rare OHSC!
