1980 Yamaha Japan SG-1000 Double Cutaway (Cherry Sunburst)

1980 Yamaha Japan SG-1000 Double Cutaway (Cherry Sunburst)Considered by many as an upgrade to the standard Les Paul design, the Yamaha SG series are some of the fullest sounding guitars you'll ever play. This SG 1000 was a mid range model in the 1980 catalog and is a step up from the entry level models in specs. Weighing in at 4. 1kg's, it's built with a mahogany body with a 2 piece maple cap, slim 60's maple mahogany set neck and an ebony fretboard (12" radius, 628mm scale length, 43mm nut width). Loaded

Factory Kahler USA Flyer Tremolo system and Grover tuners

It is equally suited for home studio or stage use

With plenty of Warwick vibes

this one has been modified by the previous owner to remove the boost/preamp and have it running fully passive with what look to be phase switches

slim 60's mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard (43mm nut

made in Japan in the 80's

Just like the original

overall it's in very nice condition with only a few dings/bumps as pictured

The perfect travel guitar

and loaded with Wilkinson WHHB Humbuckers

vintage-style "keystone" tuners

Appears almost all original (except for what looks like a replacement pickup) with four-screw full sized tuners
